WHAT BACTERIA ARE ASSOCIATED Hyperthermophiles?

Hyperthermophiles are primarily associated with the domain Archaea, particularly within the phylum Crenarchaeota. Some notable genera include Pyrococcus and Thermococcus, which thrive in extreme heat, often found in hydrothermal vents and hot springs. While bacteria can also inhabit high-temperature environments, the most extreme conditions are typically dominated by these archaeal organisms.
