You culture the dried soup from a 4,000-year-old cooking pot found in an Egyptian tomb and obtain a distinctive species of prokaryote. You immerse a test tube of these bacteria in boiling water for several hours, but the colony grows back. This species is probably

Thermophilic bacteria

Explanation:

Thermophiles or thermophilic organisms are those that have the ability to survive extremely high temperature usually above 100 degrees. They are a group of extremophiles, a group of organisms that are capable of existing at extreme conditions such as high or low temperatures, pressure, etc.

Normal bacteria would have been killed by the heat of boiling for several hours but thermophilic bacteria will survive and hence, were able to grow back.

a
