Is there any organism "requiring temperatures of at least 90 °C for survival"? Wikipedia says even Pyrococcus furiosus can live at 70 °C.

I added two bacteria that live at around 100 °C and cancelled information that Bacteria can live only up to around 70 °C. The difference between Archaea and Bacteria is not that much. 84.10.111.253 18:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC), a casual visitor, Poland.

[edit] New bacteria found that lives to 169 degrees Celsius

Here are my sources for bacteria living at 169 degrees Celsius (332.6 degrees Fahrenheit)
