Pressure X-Philes
Barophiles & Hyperbarotolerant, Near-Barophilic Mesobarophiles
Introduction
Also known as piezophiles, this group includes organisms with an optimal growth pressure of 10 Mpa (~100 bar) or higher (≥98.6 atmospheres).

List of Barophiles & Hyperbarotolerant Mesobarophiles by Barotolerance
Here organisms are listed first by the upper end of their temperature range, then by OGT, then by the lower end of their temperature range, and for any organisms for which these properties are unknown or the same, they will be listed in alphabetical order.
