|
Psychrophiles |
Grow at 0°C with optimal of only about 15°C |
|
|
|
Pschrotrophs |
Also grow at 0°, but higher optimal of 20-30°c |
Refrigerator |
|
|
Mesophiles |
Moderate temperatures; the temperatures that we like 37°c |
|
|
|
Thermophiles |
Grow at high temp 50-60 |
|
|
|
Acidophiles |
Grow at a pH of less than equal to 4 |
|
|
|
Extreme halophiles |
Can grow in a high salt concertration |
|
|
|
Obligate halophiles |
Require a high salt concertration |
|
|
|
Facultative halophiles |
Can grow in a high salt environment, but it is not a growth requirement |
|
|
|
Oxygen |
Required by most living organism |
|
|
|
Obligate aerobes |
Have an absolute requirement for oxygen |
|
|
|
Facultative anaerobes |
Can use oxygen, but have adapted to use fermentation or anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen. Energy production is less effective than aerobic respitation |
|
|
|
Obligate anaerobes |
Cannot use oxygen and are often killed oxygen |
|
|
|
Microaerophiles |
Do not grow at normal oxygen concertations, but requires a small amount of oxygen |
|
|
|
Aerotolerant anaerobes |
Do not use oxygen but can survive and grow to a limited extent in the presence of oxygen |
