Pinguicula hemiepiphytica is an 8–20 cm tall, carnivorous plant that grows on rocks or trees. [1] There are two forms, distinguished by leaf type. In both forms, the leaves are arranged in dense whorls around the base of the stem. [2] The summer form of the plant has 4 to 12 nearly circular leaves that serve to catch small insects. [1]
Alicyclobacilli are strictly aerobic, acidophilic, mesophilic to thermophilic, soil-dwelling organisms. [2] Alicyclobacilli are of special interest to the fruit juice canning industry because common pasteurization techniques (92 °C for 10 seconds) do not deactivate the spores; [3] Alicyclobacillus species can have a D 95-value of over 8 minutes (requiring treatment of over 8 minutes at 95 °C ...

Picrophilus is an extremely acidophilic genus within Euryarchaeota. These microbes are the most acidophilic organisms currently known, [ 3 ] with the ability to grow at a pH of less than 0.5. [ 4 ] They were first isolated from samples taken from acidic hot springs and dry hot soil in Hokkaido ( Japan ).
