Abstract excerpt

Bacteria exhibit unique diversity in their ability to grow at different temperatures. Indeed, eubacteria and archaebacteria are the only organisms able to grow above 65 degrees C. The temperature range for a species is generally considered to be a stable character; however, mutants may be isolated that have a Tmin or Tmax below or above the parent organism. Some bacteria may also be coaxed to grow at different...
