We studied amazing extremophiles that live in incredible environments that not many humans today get to see in person, some are examples below:
- Thermophiles: thrives at extremely high temperatures between 45 and 80 degrees Celcius, among the earliest bacteria.
- Acidophiles: thrives under highly acidic conditions where the pH is at 2.0 or below.
- Halophiles: thrives in environments with very high concentrations of salt.
One organism called ARMAN, an acidophile, that lives in mines such as the Iron Mountain Mine in California where they were first discovered.
