Rate This Answer

Thermophile is a group of archaebacteria along with methanogens and halophiles. Thermophiles are the heat-loving bacteria found near hydrothermal vents and hot springs. Many thermophiles are chemosynthetic, using dissolved sulfur or other elements as their energy source and iron as a means of respiration. Thanks for using ChaCha!
