Adaptation

• What environmental factors affect growth?

• Cell structure and growth

• Adaptations to environmental factors

• Cold adaptation in SRB

• Growth above 100 ˚C

Temperature limits for life

• Freezing point in seawater around -2 ˚C

• Partially liquid in antarctic sea ice at -15 ˚C

• Liquid up to 300 ˚C at high pressure

• Only Prokaryotes grow above 65 ˚C

• Upper limit: strain 121 grows at 121 ˚C

Water activity, osmosis, and halophiles

• All organisms require water

• Water content and substances dissolved in water

• Sea water contains about 3% NaCl

• Halophiles: salt-loving organisms

Does pressure affect microbial growth?

Pressure increase by 1 bar per 10 m water depth

How can they stand 100 bar in 1000m depth?

Temperature adaptation in SRB Dissimilatory sulfate-reduction occurs

between -1.8 ˚C (arctic sediment) and above 100 ˚C (Guaymas basin sediment)

Cold adaptations of microorganisms

• Effects on growth rate and growth yield

• Metabolic activity

• Protein flexibility and cold-adapted enzymes

• Protein synthesis and cold-induced proteins

• Effects on membrane and lipid structure

• exhibited constant fatty acid composition with high amounts of unsaturated or short-chain fatty acids.

• are “specialists“ in a small temperature range, in which they probably outcomplete mesophilic/ psychrotolerant species.

• change the ratio of saturated, unsaturated and cyclopropane containg fatty acids with changing temperature via de novo synthesis.

• are “generalists“, which propably outcomplete psychrophiles in environments with changing tempeartures.
