Bacteria typically thrive in warm, humid, and dark environments. This is a reason why the human body is an ideal breeding-ground for bacteria; the interior is the ideal temperature for bacteria, well-supplied with adequate moisture and nutrition, and usually dark. Additionally, some bacteria, extremophiles, are able to survive, even thrive, in extremely acidic, alkaline, or salty environments, or incredibly hot or cold environments, or incredibly wet or dry environments.

What is recombinant sequence?
A recombinant sequence of DNA is a sequence of DNA that comes from more than one source. Examples of recombinant DNA are plasmids that are put into bacteria. The plasmid comes from the bacteria (or a bacteria at least) but a target gene has been added (say the lac operon gene that allows bacteria to thrive on lactose), this plasmid is now a recombinant DNA sequence.
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.
Why must brewers take special care to prevent air from entering fermentation tanks?
There are anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria thrive in oxygen rich environments. Oxygen is potentially lethal to anaerobic bacteria. If the system is set up to use anaerobic bacteria, you want to keep out the air which brings in oxygen to maintain the best environment for the desired bacteria.
What conditions are necessary to insure fossilization?
The type of fossil that is formed is determined by the conditions under which an organism died and how it was buried
Does covering food retard bacterial growth?
No, bacteria can thrive under anaerobic conditions.
What conditions in a cleanroom environment do bacteria thrive on?
you!!!!!!!
Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce frequently by Binary fission?
Bacteria thrive and reproduce by binary fission when: 1- there is enough water 2- there is enough space for the population to grow 3- when their wastes have not accumulated 4- when their is enough oxygen in the air.

Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce?
Bacteria require adequate nutrients and conditions to thrive and reproduce. These vary depending on the type of bacteria. For example, there are both autotrophic bacteria, that require CO2 as their carbon source, and heterotrophic bacteria, that require one or more organic molecules for their carbon source. Because of this they usually live off of autotrophs. There are also bacteria that only thrive and reproduce in extreme conditions. These extremophiles may reside in high or low pH environments, very high heat (hot springs) or low temperatures (glaciers), very salty environments and other extremes.
Under which extreme conditions do halophiles thrive?
salt concentration
How can you use the word thrive in a sentence?
In order to thrive, ancient civilisations needed to be founded near rivers or water sources.The population began to thrive.
What are the four basic elements for bacteria to grow?
The four basic elements for bacteria to grow are warmth, food, moisture and time. If one or more of these elements are removed, conditions will not be satisfactory for bacteria to thrive.
Why are there still some colonies growing in the areas exposed to ultraviolet light?
Some colonies grow under harsh conditions. Certain colonies of bacteria can thrive in areas exposed to a great amount of ultraviolet light.
Does the salmonella bacteria produce an endospore if so under what conditions?
no
What condition helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive?
The condition that helps aerobic bacteria to grow and thrive is oxygen. In stark contract an anaerobic organism does not require oxygen to grow and thrive.
What structures do some bacteria form under unfavorable conditions?
endospores
