THERMOPHILES

Kingdom: ArchaebacteriaScientific Name: MethanosarcinaThis microbe thrives where there is no oxygen. Places lacking oxygen are called

anaerobic. Methane producers live in swamps, in the guts of cows and deer, in

human bowels, and in sewage. This microbe, known as a methanogen, produces

methane, also known as swampgas. Other microbes

that live in anaerobic environments give off acetate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide as wastes. Methanosarcina

consumes these biproducts to get energy for itself. It then

gives off methane gas.

DOMAIN: BACTERIAKINGDOM: EUBACTERIA

Kingdom: EubacteriumScientific Name: Salmonella typhimurium

This bacterium is causes food poisoning. It can grow on poultry,

uncooked eggs, and various meats. When these foods are eaten by humans, Salmonella

grows in the intestine, producing such symptoms as headaches,

chills, vomiting and diarrhea. The long whiplike hairs projecting from this strain are called "flagella". The

flagella move this bacterium. A closely related species of S.

thyphimurium is S. typhi, the cause of typhoid fever.

Kingdom: EubacteriaScientific Name: Lactobacillus acidophilus

This microbe is a bacterium called Lactobacillus acidophillus. It is special because it can help preserve foods. It does this by making its environment, our food, acidic. This acid makes food taste sour. Some of the foods this microbes helps preserve include cabbage to form sauerkraut, milk to form yoghurt, and flourdough to form sourdough bread. These microbes make acids as a waste product (byproduct) of fermentation.

This acid makes the environment toxic to most other microbes which might otherwise ruin the food.

Kingdom: ProtistSlime Mold Spores

Many types of microorganisms produce spores. Spores serve a function for microbes similar to the role that seeds serve for plants.

These spores are the way that this slime mold

reproduces. The spores also help the microbe

move around; they blow around on the winds, just as many types of seeds do, until they land and

"take root" in a new environment.

Kingdom: FungusScientific Name: Saccharomyces cereviceae

Yeast are small fungi which are incredibly important in the food and beverage industries. Yeast ferement the sugars in fruits to make wine, the sugars in grains to make beers. When grown in the presence of oxygen, yeast give off the gas carbon dioxide which makes bread rise. Yeast can grow with oxygen, (aerobically) or without oxygen (anaerobically.) Because it can grow either aerobically or anaerobically, it is known as a "facultative aerobe."
