A hyperthermopile is an organism that grows at very hot temperatures, optimally in environments above 80°C[1]. Some of the most resilient hyperthermophiles can be found on the interior of black smoker chimneys, which are formed from the precipitation of metals and sulfides, when hydrothermal fluid rushes from vents in the sea floor[2].
