Thermoplasma

Thermoplasma is a type of microorganism called an archaeon, which thrives in extreme environments, especially high temperatures and acidic conditions, such as volcanic hot springs or sulfur-rich habitats. Unlike bacteria and fungi, archaeons have unique cell structures and genetic features, making them part of a separate domain of life. Thermoplasma can survive without a cell wall, relying on specialized membranes to protect itself. These organisms are important for understanding life's diversity and adaptations to harsh environments, and they also have potential uses in biotechnology and industrial processes due to their stability under extreme conditions.
