Thermoacidophilic+Bacteria


 * Latin Name-** Thermoacidophiles
 * Kingdom-**Archaebacteria
 * Phylum-**Methanogenic



__**Description-**__ It is an organism (bacteria) that grows under extremely acidic conditions and at very high temperatures. Thermoacidophilic bacteria can only live in water which is very hot (70 - 75° C) and as acidic as concentrated sulphuric acid. The archaebacteria contain two primitive phyla, the methanogenic bacteria, respoonsible for marsh gases and much of natural gas, and halophilic and thermoacidophilic bacteria. Preliminary data indicated that the diversity of thermoacidophilic bacteria is significant among the different orange-producing areas of the State of So Paulo and among samples collected from orange fields and from different critical points in the orange processing plants. They can be aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, or strictly anaerobic. Nutritionally they range from chemolithoautotrophs to organotrophs. Some are mesophiles; others are hyperthermophiles that can grow above 100°C. Archaeobacteria usually prefer restricted or extreme aquatic and terrestrial habitats. They are often present in anaerobic, hypersaline, or high-temperature environments. It is classified as an Archaebacteria and an extremeophile. Thermoacidophiles are found in places where most organisims would not survive but because

__**Features-**__ The archaeobacteria cell wall differs chemically from that of the eubacteria cell wall. Specifically, they lack in peptidoglycan. Its lipid bilayers consist of branched chain hydrocarbons linked by ether (as opposed to ester) linkages to glycerol. For these linked lipids each glycerol is found in the opposite membrane leaflet, at the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface. One obvious explanation for the existence of such lipids is that they may make the Thermoacidophilic bacteria membrane sufficiently stable, at least, to allow growth and survival in the extreme environments in which many Thermoacidophilic bacteria may be found. There are many unique characteristics that make up these prokaryotes. They are specially resistant to high temperatures and high acid concentrations. They have a plasma membrane which contains high amounts of saturated fats, and its enzymes are able to withstand extreme conditions without denaturation.


 * __Habitat-__** Thermoacidophiles prefer temperatures of 70 - 80 °C and pH between 2 and 3. They live mostly in hot springs and/or within deep ocean vent communities. Classified as an Archaebacteria and an extremeophile. Thermoacidophiles belong to the Kingdom Archaebacteria, in the Domain Archaea.


 * __Interesting Facts-__** Sixty strains of thermoacidophilic bacteria have been isolated from soil and water samples obtained from various acidic environments in Japan. Thermo-acidophilic bacteria is that a small number of bacteria in a class. PH value in the lower, the thermo-acidophilic bacteria can form spores with heat resistance, juice pasteurization commonly used in hard to kill. Its spores survive in dormant form: in the concentrated fruit juice, when the fruit juice after rewatering, suitable conditions will Bacillus germination, growth, resulting in loss of juice products aroma, taste variation, turbidity increased, the formation of precipitation. There is thermoacidophilic bacteria that does not necessarily make the product bad. Non-spoiled fruit juice can be detected in bacteria.
