A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments--from 60 C upward. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is often above 80 C. Hyperthermophiles are often within the domain Archaea, although few bacterial examples exist. Some of them are able to live at temperatures greater than 100 C, deep in the ocean where high pressures increase the boiling point of water. Many hyperthermophiles
