Chapter 2: Microbial Nutrition, Ecology and Growth 1st Semester, SY 2024-2025 Bio 61 Prepared by: SMQ  CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS TEMPERATURE a. Mesophiles: (20-40 C) Mesophiles are the ones that survive at normal temperatures,e.g. Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. b. Thermophiles: (50-60 C) They can tolerate high range of temperatures, e.g. Thermus aquaticus c. Psychrophiles: (15-20 C) They are cold-loving microbes, e.g. Arthrobacter species d. Hyperthermophiles: They can survive a range of temperatures of 80°-113°C,e.g. Pyrolobus fumarii  CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS pH a. Acidophiles (“acid lovers”)preferring an environmental pH range of 0 to 5.5 , eg. Lactobacillus acidophilus (a bacterium found in the mouth, intestine and vagina, is used as a probiotic) b. Alkaliphiles (“alkaline lovers”), preferring an environmental pH range of 8.0 to 11.5, eg. Vibrio c. Neutrophiles pH in the range of 5.5 to 8.0, eg. most medically important microbes Sulfolobus acidocaldarius  CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS SALT CONCENTRATION a. Halophiles - “salt-loving” require a NaCl concentration above 0.2 M; require the presence of high levels of sodium chloride to grow b. Non-halophiles Dunaliella salina Major Groups of Microorganisms I. Bacteria II. Protozoa III.Fungi IV. Algae V. Viruses  BACTERIA ❖ Prokaryotes – No nucleus or organelles bound in membranes ❖ DNA is a single circular chromosome ❖ Cell Walls of peptidoglycan ❖ Smaller ribosome unit ❖ Divide by binary fission (not mitosis)  BACTERIA Bacterial Cell Wall  BACTERIA Bacterial appendages: a.

Short bacilli are called coccobacilli. 3) Spiral forms: comma-shaped, S- shaped, or spiral-shaped. 4) Pleomorphic: lacking a distinct shape. [ A=bacillus or (bacilli) B= Streptococcus C. Staphylococcus D= diplococcus E=Spirillum (spirilla pl.)

Entamoeba histolytica: E. histolytica; transmitted between humans through the ingestion of cysts → amoebic dysentery 2. Naegleria fowleri: causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) that results in headache, fever, vomiting, stiff neck, and loss of bodily control. 3.
