Chapter 19.2, Problem 3TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The problem faced by acidophiles that conduct heterotrophic
Introduction:
The microorganisms included in the order Sulfolobales can grow in extreme acidic and high- temperature conditions. The members of Sulfolobales are not obligate autotrophs. They can acquire a heterotrophic mode of nutrition and may obtain energy from sugar and amino acids. They can be easily cultured on tryptone broth at 80°C (degree Celsius) and pH (potential of hydrogen) 6.5.

Paramecium caudatum lives in a hypotonic solution. Excess water is removed from the cell via structures called contractile vacuoles. Given what you know about vacuoles (refer to Table 3.3, p. 68) and what you know about cells able to contract, suggest the type of transport that occurs when water is moved out of Paramecium.
Since cells of Halobacterium require high levels of Na+ for growth,why is this not true for the organism’s cytoplasmic enzymes?
