What class are thermophiles?

Thermophilic microorganisms are grouped into three classes: (1) moderately thermophilic—which survive at temperature of 45°C; (2) extreme thermophilic—which are capable of surviving at between 70°C and 80°C; and (3) hyperthermophilic—microorganisms that exhibiting optimum growth at 80°C (Charlier and Droogmans, 2005; ...
