Radio-resistant extremophiles, such as Deinococcus radiodurans, typically inhabit environments with high levels of radiation, including nuclear waste sites, radioactive mineral deposits, and extreme conditions like those found in space. These organisms thrive in harsh conditions due to their unique cellular mechanisms that repair DNA damage caused by radiation. They can also be found in extreme terrestrial environments like hot springs and deserts, where they face other stresses. Their resilience makes them a subject of interest for studies in astrobiology and bioremediation.
