Abstract
High temperature, an extreme condition to which the so-called thermophilic organisms are subjected, clearly demonstrates that temperature is one of the most important of the environmental factors. Temperature regulates the activity and evolution of organisms. In the living cell it determines the rate of the biological processes, e.g., of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions and the state of the structures of the active biopolymers, the proteins, nucleic acids, membrane system etc.
