    As the bacteria are capable of surviving in the hot temperatures as thermophiles they can speed up their respiration rate and hence, will produce more carbon dioxide and potentially accelerating the climate change within a region. The other prokaryotes can also become the significant contributors of the carbon output and these are those which are highly sensitive to the temperature. Methane oxidizing bacteria are also responsible for the contribution in carbon and nitrogen cycles. These bacteria converts the important greenhouse gas methane into carbon and nitrogen compounds like CO2 and NO2 - respectively. Thus methane can be considered as precursor of the temperature rise.
