Thermophilic \Ther`mo*phil"ic\, a. [Thermo- + Gr. ? loving +
   -ic.]
   Heat-loving; -- applied especially to microorganisms such as
   certain bacteria, fungi and algae, which grow best at
   temperatures above 40[deg] C (e.g. between 50[deg] and
   60[deg]), and in some cases at temperatures that would kill
   ordinary microorganisms. They are found in naturally hot
   locations, such as at hot springs or the thermal vents at the
   ocean bottom.
