 | | Bacteria have been isolated directly from the very hot water of the deep-ocean vents during research submersible Alvin dives. | | | In laboratory experiments, John A. Baross of Oregon State University discovered that, at atmosphere pressure, some of the bacteria from vent seawater samples did not grow at all below 149 degrees Fahrenheit and remained viable up to 210 degrees Fahrenheit, close to the ordinary boiling point of water. | | | Such behavior ensures that, at either location, the bacteria move down into the sediment. |

| | B003 What are Bacteria? |
| | Bacteria are good subjects for studying the basic laws of inheritance because they grow rapidly and and have traits which are easily studied. | | | Most bacteria are harmless and many of those living on our skin help protect us and many species living in our gut are beneficial. | | | However, it is difficult to find cultures in the optimum condition to show cubic packets, chains, etc. on the same day because your mentor in not likely to be working with so many different kinds of bacteria on the day you visit. |

| | Bacteria were the inventors of major metabolic pathways found in both eucaryotes (which arose from procaryotes) and procaryotes. | | | Nevertheless, such bacteria tend to be greatly over-represented in microbial research simply because of biases in human interests and granting mechanisms. | | | This means that small sized individuals have simply existed longer and therefore have had a longer time to diverge and explore niches requring novel biochemistries than have larger organisms. |

| | Wheaton College: Wheaton Quarterly: betsey's bacteria |
| | Background: In seeking life on other planets, it is wise to consider bacteria rather than animal-like organisms that somehow resemble or behave like us. | | | Background: Most of the microbes commonly found on the skin are gram-positives which settle in across the landscapes of the body seeking moist, nutrient-rich, protected crevices. | | | Fortunately (for them), washing ourselves in the everyday sense is not the sort of scrubbing process done by surgeons. |
