describe different categories of organisms based on-
1. carbon and energy resources
2. temperature
3. pH 4. oxygen and
5. hydrostatic
Answer: Different categories of organisms based on their microbial growth.
1. Carbon and energy sources: It is chemical requirement for the microbial growth. Cell is made up of 50% of dry weight of Carbon. It is backbone of the organic compound.There are two types of organism based on Carbon and energy sources-1. Chemoheterotrophs- obtained from Lipid,Proteins. 2. Chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs: obtains from
2. Temperature: Based on temperature it is defined as Psychrophile-Cold loving,Mesophile-Middle loving,Thermophile-Heat loving .
3. PH: Bacteria prefer neutral PH . Organisms are clissified as 1.Acidophiles- Acid loving .2. Neutrophile.3 Alkaliphiles
4.Oxygen: There are two types of organism-aerobic-grows in presence of oxygen and anaerobic-gows in absence of oxygen.
5. Hydrostatic: Piezophile-grows under high hydrostatic pressure.And obligate piezophile can not grow under low hydrostatic.
