What are facts about thermophilic bacteria?

Answer 1

Thermophiles are a class of bacteria. They are named as such, because they can withstand high heat, and can grow in areas where the temperature is very hot, such as in the sulfur pots in Yellowstone National Park.

Answer 2

thermophilic bacteria.

going to the main domains of organisms, we have three major domains. these are: domain eukarya (with true nucleus), domain eubacteria, and domain archaea. the two latter domains are prokaryotic one (they do not have true nucleus but their genetic material is embedded on the cytoplasm of the bacterial or archaeal cell.

thermophilic organisms (heat loving) are found under domain archaea (they are the most primitive organisms in the earth; living in hot, acidic and salty places)

domain archaea is divided into four major kingdoms:

1.) domain crenarchaeota

2.) Domain euryarchaeota

3.) domain korarchaeota

4.) domain nanoarchaeota (which is not yet scientifically validated)

thermophilic archaeons are found under domain crenarchaeota and euryarchaeota. specifically under genera thermoproteus and thermoplasma. you may consult microbiology books like G. Tortora and co-authors' Microbiology: an introduction 8th edition.

Answer 3

Thermophilic bacteria are microorganisms that thrive in high temperatures, typically between 45-80 degrees Celsius. They are often found in hot springs, geothermal vents, and compost piles. These bacteria have specialized proteins and enzymes that allow them to function at such extreme temperatures.

Answer 4

Bacillus, Paenibacillus, Clostridium, Geobacillus, Thermoanaerobacter to name a few

Answer 5

Generally, thermophilic bacteria by its name is "heat loving" (Thermo-heat, and philic-love) They are heat loving organisms and they're what's responsible for the cause of your food spoiling.

Answer 6

it grows in moist coniton in geothermal vents
