The answer is 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 pressures zones, as a deep sea bacteria or archaea.
They are generally found on ocean floors, where a pressure is extremely high and often exceeds 380 atm or about 180 kg
