This document describes several types of bacteria, including their habitats, characteristics, and impacts on human health. Halococcus dombrowskii can grow in high salt concentrations and is a facultative anaerobe. Escherichia coli is commonly found in warm-blooded intestines but some strains can be pathogenic. Methanopyrus kandleri survives at up to 122 degrees Celsius in hydrogen-carbon dioxide rich environments, converting it to methane. Nitzschia kerguelensis thrives in cold waters down to -6 degrees Celsius and some tolerate high salt concentrations.
