Hypertermofiileillä
Hypertermofiileillä refers to a group of organisms commonly known as hyperthermophiles, which are microorganisms capable of thriving at temperatures typically above 80 °C. These species are predominantly found among the domains Archaea, though certain bacterial genera also possess hyperthermophilic traits. Their cellular machinery is specially adapted: cell membranes contain ether-linked lipids that resist thermal denaturation, and proteins exhibit highly stable secondary and tertiary structures that maintain functionality at extreme heat.
Taxonomically, hypertermofiileillä include several phyla such as Thermoproteota and Crenarchaeota, with notable genera like Thermococcus, Pyrobaculum,
Natural habitats for hypertermofiileillä are limited to geothermal environments such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents, volcanic hot
Research into hypertermofiileillä continues to advance our understanding of extremophile biology and the limits of life.
