Bacteria, like all living organisms, function by means of a complicated series of chemical reactions. Chemical reactions happen differently when there is a large difference in temperature. Low temperatures have a particular danger, which is that water freezes and it expands when it freezes, which will cause it to rupture the cell membrane of the bacterial cell. High temperatures cause all sorts of new reactions to occur which would not occur at lower temperatures, and these new reactions will also destroy a cell, even more thoroughly than low temperatures will. In less technical terms, high temperatures will cook the bacteria.
What else can I help you with?
Can bacteria thrive in an environment low in pH?
Some can, while others can not. It depends on the type of virus. Often, non enveloped viruses are more resistant to low pH, such as the enteroviruses. On the other hand, many enveloped RNA viruses are very sensitive to low pH, and can be inactivated by acid wash.
What bacteria live in swamps?
Bacteria commonly found in swamps include Pseudomonas, Clostridium, and Bacillus species. These bacteria play important roles in decomposition, nutrient cycling, and the overall ecosystem function of swamps.
What bacteria inside the sodium?
You would be hard pressed to find bacteria living in or on sodium in it's elemental form, which is generally only found in chemistry labs. However, should you be asking about a salt solution in which sodium is the cation (that is the first element in a molecule) of a molecule of say, NaCl (common salt compound found just about everywhere) then you would expect to see only a few organisms. Many bacteria (and other microorganisms) cannot live around salts because they are not able to maintain the integrity of their cell walls, and the cells would quickly dry out. and die. Certain organisms known as extremophiles and hyperextremophiles live in environments where there is no other life. A good example is the bacterium Halobacterium salinarium which is easily found in bodies of water who's salt concentrations are well above 9 to 12 percent. Also, some members of the Pseudomonads group (such as P. aguernosa) are also considered halophiles, that is, they are salt lovers.
What kind of organism converts nitrogen into a usable form of plants?
Bacteria
Are microorganisms that live in the soil heterotrophs or autotrophs?
The vast majority of microorganisms that live in soil is bacteria. Soil bacteria can be classified as either heterotrophs or autotrophs depending on how they receive nutrients. Heterotrophic bacteria use organic compounds to get the necessary amount of carbon; whereas, autotrophic bacteria is able to get it from either carbon dioxide, inorganic compounds, or sunlight.
Which domain do organisms live in extreme environments?
Organisms that live in extreme environments are often found in domains Archaea and Bacteria. These extremophiles thrive in conditions such as high temperatures, acidic environments, high salinity, or high pressure, where most other organisms cannot survive.
The bacteria that cause botulism and tetanus are anaerobes and cannot live in the presence of alcohol?
You are a bit confused. Alcohol is generally toxic to bacteria, whether aerobic or anaerobic, but anaerobic bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen, that's why they are called anaerobic.
What bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?
Obligate aerobes
What are bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?
Bacteria that must have oxygen to survive are called obligate aerobes. Some bacteria can live with or without oxygen and are called facultative anaerobes.Anaerobes = No oxygenAerobes = Oxygen
Why does high temperatures reduce bacteria added to milk?
This is Known as Pastuerisation A process where milk is rapidly heated killing bacteria and then just as rapidly cooled again this not only protects health against bacteria but also extends the shelf life of the milk
As you demonstrate in this experiment high temperature inactivate catechol oxidase how is it that some bacteria live in the hot spring Yellowstone pack at temperature as high as 73 degrees celsius?
The bacteria that live in the hot spring are of a different kind. They can survive in extreme conditions. There are also other type of bacterias that can live in salty and some which can live in acidic conditions. Also because their proteins are in their correct form when at extreme temperatures, and in fact when put at temperatures that are normal for us, their proteins would deform and they could die.
Why is difficult to classify bacteria and archaea down to the species level?
There are several things that make archaeobacteria hard to study. They live without oxygen and in high temperature environments and they have either a very high or low pH.
Bacteria that lives where most organisms cannot live belong to which kingdom?
Archaebacteria
Are microorganisms live in tempe?
Yes, microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria are essential in the fermentation process of making tempeh. They help break down the soybeans and create the characteristic texture and flavor of tempeh.
What temperature can bacteria rest in?
Depends on the bacteria, most bacteria in our body is ok at 98.6 degrees. so by the body elevating our temps with fever we try to kill the bacteria.
Why you cannot live in another planet?
We cannot live in other planets because there are no enough oxygen there . Also the temperature there is not accepted by our body
What is An organism that can live in a very high temperature of water?
One example of an organism that can live in very high temperatures in water is the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. These bacteria are commonly found in hot springs and hydrothermal vents where temperatures can reach over 70°C. This organism is known for its ability to thrive in extreme heat due to special adaptations in its enzymes.
