An extremeophile is an organism that thrives in physically or chemically extreme conditions. Acidophiles can grow in very acidic conditions, such as your stomach. An alaliphile can grow in basic environments. Halophiles can grow in environments with high salt concentrations, such as the Great Salt Lake. Hyperthermophiles can grow in temperatures ranging from 80 to122 °C and are found in thermal vents on the ocean floor. Some bacteria have been found to survive the vacuum of space, and sometimes evolve into a more virulent form the bacteria. Another unusual place for bacteria to grow are clouds, some research suggests that cloud-dwelling bacteria could have an effect on the weather. Certain bacteria are present in the stomachs of termites that actually aid them in digesting wood for nutrients.

Why is finding microbes in different environments on earth relevant to understanding how life began?
It may be that in some unusual environment, we will find some species of microbe which we are not familiar with, and which may be more similar to early life, than the more familiar types of microbes are. A good example of this is the environment of the undersea hydrothermal vents. Very unusual microbes colonize those vents. Possibly they represent the oldest surviving species on Earth.
