Thermoplasmata is a group of thermophilic (heat-loving) microorganisms, specifically a genus of Archaea, which are a type of single-celled organism. Thermoplasmata are found in hot environments, such as hot springs, geothermal vents, and areas with high temperatures. They are able to thrive in temperatures above 50°C (122°F) and have a unique metabolic process that allows them to survive in these extreme conditions.
