Members of the Phylum Thermotogae Can Be Found Growing In

Question

Members of the phylum Thermotogae can be found growing in
A)marine hydrothermal vents and terrestrial solfataric hot springs.
B)marine salterns of the shore of the Dead Sea.
C)soils of the Antarctic.
D)the intestinal tract of mammals.

Accepted Answer

Members of the phylum Thermotogae are known to thrive in extreme environments with high temperatures and low pH, making them well-suited to survive in marine hydrothermal vents and terrestrial solfataric hot springs. They are also known to exist in oil reserves and geothermal habitats. While some members of this phylum have been found in the intestinal tract of mammals, this is not a typical habitat for these microorganisms. They are not known to be present in soils of the Antarctic or in marine salterns of the shore of the Dead Sea.
