Probably not a whole lot that's immediately useful for gaming. But mentioning that there are bacteria that live in extreme environments is useful to know, I think. Certain kinds of bacteria can live in hot acid, near-boiling water, on salt crystals, etc. Some bacteria can withstand radiation levels of 5,000,000 rads (where ~500 rads kills humans, and ~100 rads kills most bacteria).
