Some microbes can survive in temperatures as high as because these microbes are adapted to live at high temperatures. These organisms contain enzymes which can work at high temperature. This is why they can be found at thermal vents, hot springs etc. The organisms which are unable to survive high temperatures have enzymes that gats deactivated at high temperatures.
