Explanation / Answer

Microbes which are found in the boiling hot waters of deep sea hydrothermal vents may belong to domains archea as well as bacteria. But, based on the fact that the microbe cannot be easily stained cultured under laboratory, the microbe is likely to be a bacterial endospore. They form a tough coating outside the cell of bacteria which are resistant to staining. Hence, the microbe is a bacterial endospore.
