a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The environments where hyperthermophiles are found.

Introduction: Microorganisms are capable of growing over a broad range of temperatures from lesser than 0℃ to more than 100℃. The microbes are classified into four different groups on the basis of the temperature required by them, namely mesophiles, thermophiles, psychrophiles, and hyperthermophiles.

a.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The hyperthermophiles are found at volcanic heated hot springs and at thermal vents present deep within the ocean floor.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The environments where the thermophiles are found.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The thermophiles are found at compost piles where the temperature reaches above 60℃ to 65℃ due to fermentation activity and in soils where the temperature at midday exceeds 50℃.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The environments where the mesophiles are found.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The mesophiles are found in many environments like soil and the human body where the temperature is between 35℃ and 40℃.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The environments where the psychrophiles are found.

d.

Expert Solution
