No; like all life on Earth, different organisms colonise different ecological niches. Enterococcus bacteria like to grow at body temperature, around 37 degrees Celsius. However, Thermophila bacteria can survive in hot springs which are at over 90 degrees Celsius. For interest, 'entero' refers to the gastrointestinal tract whilst 'thermophila' means 'likes heat'.

What happens to bacteria at fridge temperature?
At fridge temperature (around 4°C), bacteria can still survive but their growth is significantly slowed down. Some bacteria may even go into a dormant state to conserve energy. However, it's important to note that not all bacteria are affected in the same way, and some may still grow slowly even in the fridge.
Are all bacteria the same and do not have variations within the species?
No, not all bacteria are the same and there are variations within the species.
Does pepper have the ability to kill bacteria?
Yes, pepper has antimicrobial properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, but it is not a guaranteed method to kill all bacteria.
What happens if bacteria is stored below 5 degrees?
Storing bacteria below 5 degrees Celsius can slow down their growth and reproduction rate, which can help preserve the bacteria for longer periods of time. Some bacteria may become dormant or inactive at low temperatures, but not all bacteria are equally affected by cold storage. It's important to check the specific temperature requirements for the bacteria you are storing to ensure their viability and function.
Is the optimum growth temp the ideal temp for all cell activities. based on observation of S.marcescens and S.cerevisiae cultures Explain?
The optimum growth temperature is the temperature at which a microorganism grows best, which may not necessarily be the ideal temperature for all cellular activities. In the case of S. marcescens and S. cerevisiae cultures, the optimum growth temperature may differ from the optimal temperature for other metabolic processes such as enzyme activity or protein synthesis. Different cellular activities may have their own optimal temperature requirements beyond just 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.
When cold temperature prohibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria?
There are a number of bacteria that DO survive in harsh environments be it pH or temperature extremes or an environment that is very salty. Bacteria that don't survive in harsh conditions usually lose cell wall integrity and break apart, or lose all their intercellular fluid and shrivel up.
What happens to bacteria at fridge temperature?
At fridge temperature (around 4°C), bacteria can still survive but their growth is significantly slowed down. Some bacteria may even go into a dormant state to conserve energy. However, it's important to note that not all bacteria are affected in the same way, and some may still grow slowly even in the fridge.
Will freezing meat kill bacteria?
Freezing meat can slow down the growth of bacteria, but it may not necessarily kill all bacteria present. It is important to cook meat to the proper temperature to ensure that any harmful bacteria are destroyed.
Why is temperature control an effective weapons against bacterial growth?
Bacteria ideally needs a warm and wet climate to live and grow in. If it is cold and dry then the chance of bacteria growing is very little if at all.
Are all bacteria the same and do not have variations within the species?
No, not all bacteria are the same and there are variations within the species.
Explain why bacteria do not completely engulf the earth even though they reproduce rapidly enough to do so?
Bacterial growth is constrained by several parameters such as the level of nutrients around them, the temperature they grow at, pH and whether they grow in air or not just to name a few. No single bacteria can grow in all conditions so therefore bacteria can never engulf the earth. Most bacteria have fairly specific growth conditions.
Will Refrigerating or freezing foods will kill any bacteria present in the food?
Refrigerating and freezing can slow down the growth of bacteria, but they will not necessarily kill all bacteria present in the food. It's important to follow proper food safety practices, such as cooking foods to the appropriate temperature, to ensure that harmful bacteria are destroyed.
What is the effect of freezing on bacteria?
Bacteria like Archaebacteria can survive in extreme temperatures but eubacteria cannot. Since Eubacteria die from the harsh temperature and Archaebacteria cannot reproduce your immune system kills all of the Archaebacteria. That is why freezing in a technical sense stops bacteria from reproducing.
Does pepper have the ability to kill bacteria?
Yes, pepper has antimicrobial properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, but it is not a guaranteed method to kill all bacteria.
What Fahrenheit temperature is best to retard or inhibit bacterial growth?
Bacteria can theoretically grow at all temperatures between the freezing point of water (32 degrees F) and the temperature at which protein or protoplasm coagulates. Temperatures below the freezing point slow their growth, but it will not kill them. Heat treatments of 158 degrees F for 15 seconds will kill many of them, but spore-forming organisms require live steam (212 degrees F) for 30 minutes.
Is all fire the same temperature?
No, not all fires are the same temperature. The temperature of a fire can vary depending on the fuel source and conditions.
