Chapter 16.18, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Thermodesulfobacteria and Thermotogae form two intensely branching phyla within the bacteria. These are hyperthermophilic bacteria demonstrated that horizontal gene transfer has occurred from Archaea to bacteria. Thermocrinis, Thermotoga, and Aquifex are extremophiles. They can grow optimally at extremely high temperatures.

- Chemolithotrophs meet their energy needs by oxidizing organic food molecules. True False Which of the following events does not occur during the energy-investment phase of glycolysis? Hexokinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate. Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase cleaves Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into two different three-carbon sugars. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with the help of the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.arrow_forwardIn what ways are Thermoplasma and Picrophilus similar?
