Question

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a strictly aerobic, gram-positive bacillus that produces endospores. It can survive in acidic environments down to pH 2.5 and grows at temperatures between 26°C and 55°C. The significance of this bacterium lies in its ability to contaminate juice products and survive the pasteurization process used to remove bacteria due to the heartiness of its endospores. This bacterium is found growing in soils, fruit juices, and orchards. It can easily grow in apple, orange, mango, tomato, pineapple, grapefruit, and pear juices. How would you classify its metabolism?
