The term "extremophile" refers to a life form that can survive and thrive in extreme environments, including high temperatures (thermophiles), high salinity (halophiles), and high pressure or low pH conditions. Methanogens are a type of extremophile that live in anaerobic environments and produce methane as a metabolic byproduct. Normophiles do not exist as a distinct category of organisms.
