Archaebacteria are most primitive organism which lives in most harsh habitat where no other living organism can survive. Thermoacidophiles are obligate anaerobes and heterotrophs. All species of thermoacidophiles grow at a temperature of 60°C and pH 2. They use elemental sulfur and produce hydrogen sulfide. These are extremophilic microorganisms, belonging to the genus Thermoplasma. Thermoacidophiles live in hot sulphur springs having very high temperatures and highly acidic condition.
