Biota that live in extreme environments are known as extremophiles. They have evolved to like these conditions. Black Smokers in the ocean floor, are surrounded by such organisms - in that case, of ones that can survive without light and oxygen.

Because their nature allows them to tolerate those conditions. Although, archaea are better known for living in harsh conditions like toxic waste and volcanic vents and etc.

At what tenperature is bacteria most active?

It really depends on the bacteria. Some multiply best at room temperature, some at 60 deg celcius. Bacteria has 4 phases in life. The lag, log/exponential, stationary or the death phase. Bacteria multiply best at its log phase. The log phase depends on the bacteria species.


What organisms on earth do not get original energy from the sun?

Some "extremophiles" obtain their energy from chemicals. These are bacteria that live round thermal vents (in the sea and volcanoes), and that live in solid rock.


Where do some scientist think bacteria originated?

Where do some scientists think these bacteria originated?

How do chemosynthetic bacteria make their food?

Some chemosynthetic bacteria live in very remote places on Earth, such as volcanic vents on the deep-ocean floor and hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Other live in more common places, such as tidal marshes along the coast.


Names of some plants which respire anaerobically?

Clostridium botulinum and the bacteria which live near hydrothermal vents on the deep-sea ocean floor.


Where are 5 extreme places where bacteria live?

If you are talking in or on the human body, I don't know. But if you mean where are 5 extreme places where bacteria live in the world, then here are some: Antarctica, the deep ocean, thermal vents under the ocean, in extremely hot water near thermal vents on land and in desert sand where the temperature is incredibly hot. Bacteria can live in very extreme places like the extremely freezing temperatures of the ice floating on lake Vostok in antarctica and the near boiling hot springs in Yellow Stone National Park USA


Is a bacteria a producer?

Most likely, bacterias are decomposers, not producers. However, there are some bacterias that are autotrophs, but not necessarily producers.


What sort of environment can bacteria live in?

It depends on the bacteria. Some need a lot of oxygen, some only a little and in some oxygen will kill them. While most bacteria live in a narrow range of pH, some will be able to live in higher or lower ranges.


Is sulfuric a mineral?

no


Do bacteria survive hard conditions?

Yes, some bacteria (thermophiles) have been found at the bottom of the sea floor near thermal vents under incredible pressure and without any light .


Is there any relationship between hell and core since it does have some environment?

actually, the nature of both of them are theoretical, neither can be proven to be what we believe is there. funnily enough, some scientists posit that humans came from the organisms living in sub-oceanic volcanic vents, while simliarly some people believe that the worms that inhabit these same volcanic thermal ocean vents are the souls of the dead in purgatory... it could well be that both are true -- the living can never know.
