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

How long does bacteria from meat survive on dry hard surfaces?

That depends on the bacteria. Some die after several minutes after being removed from its food source. Others can last days. Depending on the conditions and the species.


What is the term used to describe a bacteria that is hibernation inside a hard outercoat?

The term you are looking for is "endospore." Endospores are dormant, tough, and resistant structures formed by certain bacteria to survive harsh environmental conditions.


What is the term used to describe the hard outer coating of a bacteria that is in hibernation?

The term used to describe the hard outer coating of a bacteria in hibernation is "endospore." Endospores are a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure formed by certain bacteria as a response to adverse conditions, allowing them to survive harsh environments.

Why does an endospore form?

a bacterial cell will form (essentially morph into) an endospore when its environment changes. If the cell has adapted to survive in warm, moist conditions with an abundance of proteins and then if these conditions the bacterial cell has adapted to are changed, conditions aren't warm or moist then as a survival mechanism it will essentially morph into an endospore. Then when conditions change back to the cells original ideal conditions, tiny chemoreceptors on the endospore will activate genes in the cell to morph back into its normal form.


What do endospores do for bacteria?

Endospores are dormant, resistant structures formed by some bacterial species to survive harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures or lack of nutrients. They allow bacteria to remain viable for long periods and then germinate once conditions become favorable again.


Which of the microorganisms can survive all conditions?

There are no microorganisms that can survive all conditions. While some microorganisms (such as extremophiles) can survive in extreme environments like high temperatures, high salinity, or low pH, no single microorganism can survive in absolutely all conditions due to the vast diversity of environments on Earth.
