Extremophiles- Going to the extremes

A thermophile is an organism a type of extremophile that not only survives but thrives at relatively high temperatures, between113 and 176 °F. Many thermophiles are archaea. Many Scientist suggest that thermophilic eubacteria are among the earliest bacteria. Many also believe that because they can create a habitat out of very harsh and unlivable conditions for all life that thermophile might have helped create the first community of life.
