Question

deep sea microbes that exist in pressures up to 1000x atmospheric pressure are called _______________. thermophiles barophiles obligate halophiles

Explanation:

Thermophiles thrive in high - temperature environments. Barophiles are adapted to high - pressure conditions like those in deep - sea. Obligate halophiles require high salt concentrations to grow. Since the question refers to microbes in high - pressure (up to 1000x atmospheric pressure) conditions, barophiles are the correct answer.

Answer:

B. barophiles
