Barophilic prokaryotes:

Barophilic prokaryotes:
  1. grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments
  2. occur in water containing high concentrations of barium hydroxide
  3. readily grow and divide in sea water enriched in any soluble salt of barium
  4. grow slowly in highly alkaline frozen lakes at high altitudes.

Solution

Barophilic prokaryotes grow and multiply in very deep marine sediments. A barophilic prokaryote, also generally defined as a barophile, is a type of organism which occurs and exists at high-pressure zones, like a deep-sea bacterium and archaebacteria.
