The metabolism of PPFMs is unusual because, as their name suggests, they are able to utilize C1 compounds such as formaldehyde, methanol and methylamine. [4] PPFM bacteria can undergo methylotrophy, a process in which the bacteria oxidize methanol with the help of the enzymes methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) and pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-linked protein.

For a reversible reaction, the equilibrium constant can be measured at a variety of temperatures. This data can be plotted on a graph with ln K eq on the y-axis and 1 / T on the x axis. The data should have a linear relationship, the equation for which can be found by fitting the data using the linear form of the Van 't Hoff equation
Aquifex spp. are extreme thermophiles, growing best at temperature of 85 °C to 95 °C. They are members of the Bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea. [1] Aquifex spp. are rod-shaped bacteria with a length of 2 to 6 μm, have a diameter of around 0.5 μm and
In microeconomics, a production–possibility frontier (PPF), production possibility curve (PPC), or production possibility boundary (PPB) is a graphical representation showing all the possible options of output for two that can be produced using all factors of production, where the given resources are fully and efficiently utilized per unit time.
Depending on temperature, bacteria can be classified as: Psychrophiles; Psychrophiles are extremophilic cold-loving bacteria or archaea with an optimal temperature for growth at about 15 °C or lower (maximal temperature for growth at 20 °C, minimal temperature for growth at 0 °C or lower). Psychrophiles are typically found in Earth's ...
Different morphologies and classes of hyperthermophilic microorganisms. Due to their extreme environments, hyperthermophiles can be adapted to several variety of factors such as pH, redox potential, level of salinity, and temperature. They grow (similar to mesophiles) within a temperature range of about 25–30 °C between the minimal and ...
Ecosystems can shift from one state to another via a significant perturbation directly to state variables.State variables are quantities that change quickly (in ecologically-relevant time scales) in response to feedbacks from the system (i.e., they are dependent on system feedbacks), such as population densities.
A faulty membrane can allow too many solutes into the cell, resulting in cell death. Different organisms have devised different strategies to control what goes in and out of the cell. Bacteria and eukaryotic cells contain phospholipid bilayers containing ester linkages, while archaea contain ether linkages.
