Are their any bacteria or other lifeforms that can currently survive conditions on Venus?

I know there are extrem o p h y l e s (autocorrect won’t let me spell it) that can possibly withstand the heat (not certain of that) But I don’t believe there’s any water on Venus either.

Update:

I guess what I’m looking for is can we send a rocket (even if it crashes) loaded with something to begin terraforming. Like something that consumes sulfur perhaps, since that’s in the atmosphere? Can we put stellaria (like giant umbrellas) in orbit to cool it?

    It's highly unlikely - the average temperature on Venus is about 4 times higher than the most extreme extremophile can survive for even a short time.
