◇ Some of them produce Methane (Methanogens).
◇ Some live in salty environment (Halophiles).
◇ Some are thermoacidophiles which thrive in acidic environments and at high temperature.

Answer:
An extremophile (from Latin extremus meaning "extreme" and Greek philiā ) meaning "love") is an organism with optimal growth in environmental conditions considered extreme in that it is challenging for a carbon-based life form, such as all life on Earth, to survive.
