  1. Note: We classified bacteria as 'psychotropic' whose environmental temperature requirement < = 30°C, 'mesophilic' < = 45°C, and 'thermophilic' > = 75°C. The number of bacteria in each group is provided for each temperature obligation class, and their percentages in each class are given in parentheses.
