Thermophilic organisms have enzymes with higher optimum temperatures that are more stable, while psychrophilic organisms have enzymes with lower optimum temperatures that are less stable and denature easily.
Thermophilic organisms have enzymes with higher optimum temperatures that are more stable, while psychrophilic organisms have enzymes with lower optimum temperatures that are less stable and denature easily.
| Front | Thermophillic and phsycrophillic organisms 2.1.4(b) |
|---|---|
| Back | - thermophilles have higher optimum temps, and have stable enzymes which are more resistant to change in temp - physcrophilles have lower optimum temps and have unstable enzymes which are less resistant to change in temp( denatures easier) |
