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.

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

Explanation of Solution

The psychrophiles are found in the permanent cold regions such as Antarctic and Arctic’s supercooled waters. The temperature of these region is ranging from -20℃ to +10℃.

Students have asked these similar questions
From your previous experiment, you found that this enhancer activates stripe 2 of eve expression. When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?
What experiment could you do to see if the maternal gene, bicoid, is sufficient to form anterior fates?
You’re curious about the effect that gap genes have on the pair-rule gene, evenskipped (eve), so you isolate and sequence each of the eve enhancers. You’re particularly interested in one of the enhancers, which is just upstream of the eve gene.  Describe an experimental technique you would use to find out where this particular eve enhancer is active.
