Whats the matter with oxygen?
What do bacteria do to handle oxygen?
(Hyper)thermophile solutions to critical enzymes denaturing in heat
(Hyper)thermophile solutions to membrane being to fluid/losing its ability as a barrier
Psychrophile solutions to proteins performing reactions more slowly
Psychrophile solutions to membrane fluidity decreasing (inhibiting function of transmembrane proteins)
Psychrophile solutions to ice crystals forming in cytoplasm and puncturing cell wall
bacterial adaptations to hypotonic conditions
bacterial adaptations to hypertonic solutions (ie. halophiles)
