grow them in a suitable medium at 55 degree centigrade for general thermophiles
Is it possible for thermophilic prganisms to induce infections in warm blooded animals
"Philic" means "strongly attracted to or strong affinity for something".Thermophilic, would thus mean, a strong affinity for heat.
Thermophilic enzymes are stable (they grow and thrive) at temperatures between 60-80 degrees Celsius. This makes them easier to study. This is because mesophilic enzymes will denature at these temperatures, and unlike mesophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes will not denature at room temp (25 degrees Celsius, making it easier for scientist to work with thermophilic enzymes. In other words, in biotechnology thermoenzymes have thermo stablity that mesophilic enzymes do not, making them much better use under certain conditions ( where mesophilic enzymes would denature).
grow at extremely high temperatures and low pH
Up to 500 degrees
Differentiate thermophilic to thermoduric
Thermophilic, lactobacilli or streptococci are the 3 most common bacterial cultures used that I know of. There might be more. Thermophilic is usually used when the cheese will be heated to a high tempature. This culture survives this step, where the other 2 don't.
Thermophilic bacteria have growth temperatures that range from 45C to 85C, with an optimum temperature of about 60C. Thermoduric organisms can survive at extreme temperatures, e.g. pasteurization, but cannot grow.
Nutrition and temperatures between 40 and 70 degrees C.

You have performed a transformation experiment using a mutant strain that is arg-- trp+ gal-- his--. A culture of this mutant strain was mixed with a DNA from another mutant strain that is arg+ trp-- gal+ his+. How will you select for the following recombinants? a) arg+ trp+ gal-- his-- b) arg+ trp-- gal+ his+ c) arg-- tryp-- gal+ his-- d) arg-- trp+ gal-- his+
