To allow bacteria to multiply there are four main requirements that the bacteria needs to undergo this process food, warmth, moisture, and time, however there is six conditions altogether that allows the bacteria to multiply. The Bacteria needs a food source, acidity environment, warmth or a temperature somewhere between 41°F and 140°F (5° and 60°C), time, oxygen requiring environment and some moisture. There is a acronym to help remember all six conditions, FATTOM. Six Conditions Bacteria Need to Multiply F Food - High in protein A Acid - pH of 4.6 to 7.0 T Temperature - 41º to 140ºF T Time - two hours, four hours, etc. O Oxygen - different oxygen requiring environments M Moisture - enough water or humidity References: Food Safety, (n.d.) sighted 6/11/2008 from http://isu.indstate.edu/ebermudez/hlth210/lessonseven.html J.

What conditions conditions promotes the growth of bacteria?
food held between 70'f and 125'f 21'c and 52'c
What conditions do bacteria reproduce in?
Bacteria form and reproduce in most cases in warm, moist sugar and organic matter rich environments. Bacteria growth is most effective in temperatures similar to body temperature and where oxygen is present. A neutral Ph is also effective for bacteria growth.
What can Bacteria form to survive when envioromental conditions are severe?
When growing conditions are not right, many bacteria form
What controls a bacteria cell?
Cytoplasmic growth can control a bacteria's cell cycle. It is done as a result of acquiring resources from their environment under the right conditions.
Why sterile conditions are needed in tissue culture?
The conditions that allow you to culture tissue are also ideal for the growth of bacteria, which given a chance will devour your tissue culture.
What are favorable conditions for the growth of most bacteria?
warm, humid conditions
What are the key condition for bacteria growth?
time and temperTURE
What is stimulating bacteria growth?
Warm conditions and plenty of food.
What conditions conditions promotes the growth of bacteria?
food held between 70'f and 125'f 21'c and 52'c
Does covering food retard bacterial growth?
No, bacteria can thrive under anaerobic conditions.
Name and explain the six conditions bacteria multiply?
coz I said so !
What does bacteria require for growth and replication?
The environment for which bacteria can grow must have the right environmental conditions. In addition, bacteria require nutrients such as nitrogen and minerals to use for metabolism
What conditions do bacteria reproduce in?
Bacteria form and reproduce in most cases in warm, moist sugar and organic matter rich environments. Bacteria growth is most effective in temperatures similar to body temperature and where oxygen is present. A neutral Ph is also effective for bacteria growth.
What can Bacteria form to survive when envioromental conditions are severe?
When growing conditions are not right, many bacteria form
What does msa plates test for?
Shows if bacteria can tolerate salty conditions. If so, it will grow, if not, no growth will occur.
What environment has the most total bacteria?
The environment that has the most total bacteria are wet and warm environments. This is because these conditions are most favorable for growth and reproduction.
What controls a bacteria cell?
Cytoplasmic growth can control a bacteria's cell cycle. It is done as a result of acquiring resources from their environment under the right conditions.
