  1. I answered this in your other question:

    Acidophiles are organisms that can withstand and even thrive in acidic environments where the pH values range from 1 to 5. Acidophiles include certain types of eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea that are found in a variety of acidic environments, including sulfuric pools and geysers, areas polluted by acid mine drainage, and even our own stomachs.

    We need them in our stomachs!! =)


  2. Acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions (usually at pH 2.0 or below) . These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes.

    Most acidophilic 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. However, other acidophiles, such as Acetobacter aceti, have an acidified cytoplasm which forces nearly all proteins in the genome to evolve acid stability [3]. For this reason, Acetobacter aceti has become a valuable resource for understanding the mechanisms by which proteins can attain acid stability.

    Thank you.

  3. I believe that it is a s*x machine that inserts and pulls out of the v****a at extrodinarly speeds that often give women orgasms. There are aslo ones that girls sit on that are like short ***** but it virbrates at high speeds, often known to give women crazy orgasms.
