Prefer salty conditions, such as salt lakes and evaporite formations.

Adapt to thrive in highly acidic environments, found in places like sulfuric pools.

Microorganisms that live inside rocks or in the pores between mineral grains.

Can withstand high levels of ionizing radiation that would be lethal to most life forms.

Prefer high pH environments, often found in soda lakes and carbonate-rich soils.

Survive in very dry, desert-like conditions with minimal water availability.

Can survive without oxygen; some thrive in anoxic environments like deep-sea sediments.

Thrive in environments with high sugar concentration where most cells would dehydrate.

Thrive at extremely high temperatures, often found near volcanic activity.

Flourish in cold environments, such as polar regions and deep ocean waters.

Adapt to very high pressure environments, such as the deep-sea trenches.

Use inorganic compounds as a source of energy and can grow in the absence of organic compounds.

Adapt to high temperatures, often found in hot springs and hydrothermal vents.
