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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Capable of tolerating high levels of dissolved heavy metals in their environment.
