Archaebacteria (Thermophiles) are historical kinds of micro organism discovered in warm water springs and deep sea hydrothermal vents. They are capable of continue to exist in excessive temperatures (which a long way exceed 100°C) due to the fact their our bodies have tailored to such environmental conditions. These organisms include specialised thermo-resistant enzymes, which bring out metabolic capabilities that don't get destroyed at such excessive temperatures.
