Mesophiles are moderate-temperature-loving microbes.

25 Celsius


Do minerals affect the growth of plants?

Plants require a proper balance of minerals for optimum growth.


Why do bacteria grow weak in the freezer?

Bacteria all have a specific optimum growth temperature. When the temperature is not at the optimum, growth is slowed down. When it is too cold, the bacteria will still be alive, but growth will be very slow and spoilage will happen slower.


What is a cardinal temperature?

It is the minimum, maximum and optimum temperatures of plant growth and development.


Is the optimum growth temp the ideal temp for all cell activities. based on observation of S.marcescens and S.cerevisiae cultures Explain?

The ideal temperature for enzymatic activities may not coincide with the optimum growth temperature for a given organism.


Can you incubate microbes?

yes,We can incubate microbes in an incubator which controls the temperature,humidity or O2 or CO2 level, required for their ultimate growth.


What is the optimum pH and temperature for growth of Propionibacterium shermanii?

pH 6.5, 30-35 C


What is the optimum temperature for sorghum germination?

Sorghum has optimum temp for root growth is at 30˚С, Sorghum optimum temp for root growth is at 35˚С, therefore sorghum has an optimum temperature range of between 25-35˚С. Sorghum on the other hand has no germination until 10˚С where there is a steep increase to 79% in a 5˚С temperature change, where it continues to increase to have a maximum of 95% the graph then decreases slightly.


Why do potatoes last longer in the refrigerator?

Because there kept fresher in the refrigerator The enzymes in the microbes that eventually cause fungal growth within the potato are below the optimum temperature neded to work. This means when compared to room tepmerature (which is closer to their optimum temp) they work slower and therefore reproducing the 'bad stuff' in the potato that causes it to go rotten slower.


Why do foods kept in a refrigerator is lasts longer than food stored in cabinet . which involving chemistry?

refrigerators have a much lower temperature than that in a cabinet. microbes,for growth often needs a suitable temperature that is at around 25-30C. hence, lower temperature slows or even sometimes stops the growth of microbes on food.


What is the optimum growth temperature for human pathogens?

The optimal temperature for most human pathogens might be expected to range from 25-45°C
