found in the hot springs in yellow stone park Thermus aquaticus is heterotrophic and needs organic compounds from the surrounding environment in order to grow and sustain life. Some of the most common sources are: algal-bacterial mat‚ other heterotrophs‚ and the surrounding soil. The algal-bacterial mat is an area at the surface of a hot springs environment containing decomposing organic matter Thermus Aquaticus belongs to the Deinococcus-Thermus group and are really ancient microorganisms‚ which

The main aim of laboratory work with Escherichia coli and soil sample was to introduce students to bacterial growth in pure culture and soil microbial flora. The experiment of bacterial growth in pure culture using optical density

Conceptual Framework of Ecotourism Ecotourism is defined as a “purposeful travel to natural areas to understand the culture and natural history of the environment‚ taking care not to alter the integrity of the ecosystem‚ while producing economic opportunities that make the conservation of natural resources beneficial to local people” (McCormick‚ 1994). Based on this definition‚ the conceptual framework was formulated. The operationalization of the framework included an assessment procedure
