Some hyperthermophilic organisms that grow in highly acidic ( pH 2 ) habitats belong to the two groups called

Options

  1. Aeubacteria and archaea
  2. Bcyanobacteria and diatoms
  3. Cprotists and mosses
  4. Dliverworts and yeasts

Correct answer

A. eubacteria and archaea

Step-by-step solution

Thermophiles live in very hot places, typically from 60^ to 80^ C . Many thermophiles (some eubacteria and archaebacteria) are autotrophs and have metabolisms based on sulphur. Some thermophilic archaebacteria form the basis of food webs around deep-sea thermal vents, where they must withstand extreme temperature and pressures. Archaebacteria can grow in highly acidic ( pH =0.7) and very basic ( pH =11) environments.
