What is a thermophiles adaptation?

Thermophiles are organisms that thrive at high temperatures, often above 45°C (113°F). Their adaptations include specialized proteins that maintain stability and function at elevated temperatures, as well as unique cell membrane structures that prevent denaturation. Additionally, they possess efficient DNA repair mechanisms to cope with heat-induced damage, allowing them to survive and reproduce in extreme thermal environments. These adaptations enable thermophiles to inhabit environments such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents.
