Mesophilic bacteria are considered to be the best decomposers in the soil. They are also involved in food contamination and degradation. Most microorganisms found in the human intestine are mesophiles. Normal human body temperature is 37 0C, and it is the best temperature for growth of mesophiles. Hence, mesophilic microorganisms are responsible for most human bacterial infections.
Thermophiles are the organisms which grow best at high temperatures. Hence, they are also known as organisms that love heat. They are a type of extremophiles. Thermophiles are found in harsh environments such as soil exposed to direct sunlight, silage, compost heaps, volcanic environments, hot springs, deep sea hydrothermal vents, etc. Thermophiles include archaea and bacteria. Thermophilic bacteria are considered as the earliest bacteria on earth. These organisms possess stable structures which can withstand high heat or temperature. They also possess heat stable enzymes. In general, enzymes can’t function at high temperatures since they are heat liable proteins. However, the heat stable enzymes possessed by thermophiles can function at a high temperature.
