An extremophile is any microbe that thrives in extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, salinity [dissolved salt content], or concentrations of hostile chemicals. Most belong to the kingdom Archaebacteria, and most Archaebacteria are extremophiles.
There are actually few extremophiles that are macroscopic instead of microscopic. While we may identify these mysteries of life as "extreme", perhaps this is considered normal on other planets. Scientists have had this idea in their heads for years.
Extremophiles are living creatures that live on earth.
- an extremophile is a microbe that lives in extreme conditions.
It can be either. An extremophile is an organism that is able to grow, and thrive, in extreme environments.
they survive in extreme conditions
Extremophile, (extrem(e) + phile) = extreme + living or liking. So extremophiles live in conditions well away from the norm. They are more specifically halophiles.There are algae that live inside rocks in the Antarctic! And more commonly, there are the cyanobacteria, a.k.a. blue-green algae that live in boiling springs. Hope that helps.
Probably a plethora of minerals, as well as some extremophile bacteria that can survive in the sub-zero temperatures.
Haloquadra walsbyi is a halophile which is an example of an extremophile. Halophiles are organisms that thrive in environments with high concentrates of salt eg, the Dead Sea.

An extremophile is an organism that thrives in an environment generally not condusive to mammalian life. A desert is not conducive to mammalian life, due to the hot days and cold night. A camel is an extremophile
extremophile archibacteria
a psychrophile is a extremophile that can survive at temps of about 20 to -10 degrees C
I think that they eat just like any bacteria, but they eat on the phile that they get their name from.
they adapt so that the dont die

Boiling water in Yellowstone Park geysers, 3 miles down in solid rock - all called extremophile microbes.
