Most living organisms cannot survive at temperature above `45^(@)C`. How are some microbes able to live in habitats with temperatures exceeding ` 100^(@)C?`

Explanation

Archaebacteria (Thermophiles) are ancient forms of bacteria found in hot water springs and deep sea hydrothermal vents. They are able to survive in high temperatures (which far exceed `100^(@)C`) because their bodies have adapted to such environmental conditions. These organisms contain specialized thermo-resistant enzymes, which carry out metabolic functions that do not get destroyed at such high temperatures.
