Cell adaptation to the environment
Nutrient sources:
Microorganism can be classified into two categories on the
basis of their CARBON sources.
Chemotrophs
use chemical elements/compounds as energy
source.
• Lithotrophs use inorganic compounds such as
ammonia, H2 and iron as a energy source.
• Organotrophs use organic compounds as energy
source.
Phototrophs
use sunlight as a energy source

Cell adaptation to the environment
Extremophiles:
Cyanobacteria, the first ever oxygenic photosynthesizers, are said to be the source of
chloroplasts in eukaryotes. They are commonly associated with extreme environments.
The above Cyanobacterium was collected from cooler waters of LaDuke Spring, a
thermal site within Gallatin National Forest

Cell adaptation to the environment
Extremophiles:
Endolith: An organism that lives inside rock or in the pores between mineral
grains.
Halophile: An organism requiring high concentrations of salt for growth. (>0.2M
salt)
Methanogen: An organism that produces methane from the reaction of hydrogen
and carbon dioxide, member of the Archaea.
Oligotroph: An organism with optimal growth in nutrient limited conditions.
Piezophile (Barophile): An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic
pressure.
Hyperthermophile: An organism with optimal growth at temperature 80 °C or
higher.
Toxitolerant: An organism able to withstand high levels of damaging elements
(e.g., pools of benzene, nuclear waste).
Xerophile: An organism capable of growth at very low water activity.
Polyextremophile - adapted simultaneously to multiple stresses examples:
thermoacidophiles and haloalkaliphiles.
