Question
Chapter 16.3, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Acidophiles are the organisms mostly microbes which survive in extreme acidic environment of less than (2.0) pH. Acidophilic organisms evolved a specialized mechanism to adapt such environmental conditions like possessing special type of cytoplasmic proteins and ion pumping out mechanisms.
