    Study Notes

    Bacteria Classification

    • Aerobic bacteria require oxygen for growth.
    • Anaerobic bacteria would die in the presence of oxygen.
    • Mesophilic bacteria grow well at temperatures between 20-40°C.
    • Halophilic bacteria require 3% NaCl or higher for growth.
    • Non-halophilic bacteria prefer low salt concentrations below 3%.

    Bacteria Classification Matchups

    • Psychrophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures below 20°C.
    • Mesophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures between 20-40°C.
    • Thermophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures above 40°C.
    • Halophilic bacteria: require 3% NaCl or higher for growth.
    • Non-halophilic bacteria: prefer low salt concentrations below 3%.
    • Acidophilic bacteria: grow at pH below 7.
    • Neutrophilic bacteria: grow at pH around 7.
    • Alkaliphilic bacteria: grow at pH above 7.
    • Specific species: examples include E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
