mesophile

Examples of mesophile in the following topics:

• Classification of Microorganisms by Growth Temperature

  • Psychrotrophs (will survive at 0 degrees C, but prefer mesophilic temperature
  • A mesophile is an organism that grows best in moderate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, typically between 20 and 45 °C (68 and 113 °F).
  • The term is mainly applied to microorganisms.The habitats of these organisms include especially cheese, yogurt, and mesophile organisms are often included in the process of beer and wine making.

• Growth Rate and Temperature

  • A mesophile is an organism that grows best in moderate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
  • All human pathogens are mesophiles.

• Microbial Growth Cycle

  • Microorganisms that grow best at moderate temperatures are called mesophiles.

• Habitats and Energy Metabolism of Crenarchaeota

  • However, archaea also include mesophiles that grow in mild conditions, in marshland, sewage, the oceans, and soils.
  • Recently, several studies have shown that archae exist not only in mesophilic and thermophilic environments but are also present, sometimes in high numbers, at low temperatures as well, as found in cold oceanic environments.

• Nongenetic Categories for Medicine and Ecology

  • In contrast, organisms that live in more moderate environments may be termed mesophiles or neutrophiles.
  • There are many different classes of extremophiles, each corresponding to the way its environmental niche differs from mesophilic conditions.

• Aquificales and Thermotogales

  • Recently, some Thermotogae existing in mesophilic temperatures have also been identified.
