Study Notes
Extremophiles
- Certain bacteria can survive in extreme environments such as high temperature, acidic pH, high salt concentration, and absence of oxygen.
- Archaebacteria are primarily known for thriving in such harsh conditions.
Nitrogen Fixation
- Nitrogen fixation is a crucial process where certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms usable by living organisms.
- Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and Cyanobacteria are known for their ability to fix nitrogen.
- E. coli does not fix nitrogen, distinguishing it from the other mentioned bacteria.
