Habitat: Biology Notes on Habitat | Micro-Organisms

The below mentioned article provides a biology note on habitat. Viable micro-organisms may be found in a very wide range of habitats, from the coldest of brine ponds in the frozen wastes of polar regions, to the almost boiling water of hot springs. Indeed, it is now realized that actively growing bacteria may occur at temperatures in excess of 100°C [...]

Heat Sensitivity of Micro-Organisms | Microbiology

The heat sensitivity of various micro-organisms is illustrated by Table 4.3 which shows their D values. Generally psychrotrophs are less heat resistant than mesophiles, which are less heat resistant than thermophiles; and Gram-positives are more heat resistant than Gram-negatives. Most vegetative cells are killed almost instantaneously at 100 °C and their D values are measured and expressed at temperatures appropriate [...]
