Extremophiles by Erika https://padlet.com/ekuzera/extremophile1st For your post: 1. Put your name in the title. 2. In the body, write your type of extremophile. 3. Where it lives. 4. Its adaptations 5. include a picture or video of an example. en-us 2018-05-11 19:45:14 UTC 2026-01-13 11:45:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png Lily, Cesar, Ben, Christopher https://padlet.com/ekuzera/extremophile1st/wish/361725490 1. Halophile
2. Lives in evaporated ponds or salt lakes. (Places with extremely high salt concentrations).  Ex., Great Salt Lake and Dead Sea. 
3. Charged amino acids on their surface allow for the retention of water molecules. Accumulate solutes in their cells that balance osmotic stress.

This is possible because they have proteins that unfold slower.  They are very common in boiling water and hydrothermal vents.

2. Alkaliphiles live in environments with a higher pH level than 9.
3. These microorganisms are able to survive in these highly alkaline environments due to the acidic teichuronopeptide polymer in their cell. Additionally, Alkyl Hydroxybenzene allows the organisms to continue to develop.

They are found in regions that are permanently cold, like the polar regions and deep sea. They increase flexibility of their structure to help the cold in their habitats.

These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Acidophiles are microorganisms that grow in highly acidic environments.Acidophiles can live in acidic environments all around the world, from underground mines to national parks! They have been found in some of the most corrosive placeson Earth.
The tinto river is an example of a place they live.Most acidophile organisms have evolved extremely efficient mechanisms to pump protons out of the intracellular space in order to keep the cytoplasm at or near neutral pH. Therefore, intracellular proteins do not need to develop acid stability through evolution.

Lives in- Psychrophiles can live under the water in the arctic. And in deep cold oceans. 

Adaptations- Proteins are the main targets of these adaptations as they control the equilibrium between substrates and products, influx of nutrients, outflow of waste products, macromolecular assemblies, nucleic-acid dynamics and appropriate folding

-Lives in extremely high pressures, mainly found at the bottom of the ocean
-UV sensitive, so they live deep in the ocean and underneath sediment to avoid sunlight
