Hyperthermophiles have some adaptations that enable them to live in hot environment. One of the adaptations is that of the membrane (Stetter, 1999). Since these organisms are subjected to high temperatures, they need to have extremely stable biomolecules to allow them to survive in hot environments. If the stability of the membrane of these organisms’ cell would be low, the cell could fall apart, and allow numerous molecules to flow in and out of the membrane destroying the chemical gradients used by the cells to generate energy and at the same time, allowing all the proteins that have already been synthesized by the cell to diffuse away, hence
