Organisms that live in extremely acidic conditions are called acidophiles. Many of them are found in the Archaea branch and also bacteria branch.
There are types of algae, bacteria, and fungi that thrive in the places like sulfuric pools that are highly acidic found in Yellowstone Park.
Some examples of some acidophile organisms;
Archaea
- Sulfolobales, an order in the Crenarchaeota branch[1] of Archaea
- Thermoplasmatales, an order in the Euryarchaeota branch[1] of Archaea
- ARMAN, in the Euryarchaeota branch[1] of Archaea
- Acidianus brierleyi, A. infernus, facultatively anaerobic thermoacidophilic archaebacteria
- Metallosphaera sedula, thermoacidophilic
- Acidobacterium[2], a phylum of Bacteria
- Acidithiobacillales, an order of Proteobacteria e.g. A.ferrooxidans, A. thiooxidans
- Thiobacillus prosperus, T. acidophilus, T. organovorus, T. cuprinus
- Acetobacter aceti, a bacterium that produces acetic acid (vinegar) from the oxidation of ethanol.

How does environmental change lead to adaptation?
Within a population of animals there are variations and differences. So when an environmental change occurs those animals that are better suited to that environment survive and are able to reproduce sucessfully. Those animals that cannot survive as well under the new conditions tend to reproduce less and die out, leaving just the offspring of those who could tolerate and thrive in the new environment. Thus passing on this ability to survive to their offspring leaving a population well suited to the new environment.
