Summary Introduction
Thermophilic microorganisms are mostly present in the extreme temperature environments of 41oC to 122oC. Acidophiles are the organisms which lives in extreme acidic environments, even at the below pH level of 1.0. Organisms which live in both hyper temperature and acidic environment is said to be Thermoacidophilic organisms. Example:Acidianus.

Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
