👉 Fervidobacterium is a genus of bacteria that primarily inhabit marine environments, commonly found in warm and temperate waters like oceans, estuaries, and coastal areas. These organisms are known for their high metabolic rates, which can be as high as 10,000 to 50,000 ATP per minute under certain conditions. They are also known for their ability to produce powerful acids, such as lactic acid, which can be detrimental to aquatic ecosystems
