"Philic" means "strongly attracted to or strong affinity for something".
Thermophilic, would thus mean, a strong affinity for heat.

Is it possible for thermophilic organisms to induce infections in warmblooded animals?
Is it possible for thermophilic prganisms to induce infections in warm blooded animals
What organisms are not killed during pasteurization?
Thermophilic organisms are not killed by pasteurization.
What is the difference between thermophilic and thermoduric bacteria?
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.
Thermophilic extreme acidophiles?
grow at extremely high temperatures and low pH
What is the optimum temperature of enzymes of thermophilic bacteria?
55 to 65 degree Celsius
Advantages of thermophilic enzymes than mesophilic enzymes?
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).
How hot are the undersea vents that have thermophilic life living around them?
Up to 500 degrees
How temperature influences the rate of growth and population of bacterial culture?
Differentiate thermophilic to thermoduric
What living ingredients are in cheese?
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.
How can you select thermophilic strain?
grow them in a suitable medium at 55 degree centigrade for general thermophiles
What has the author Chenyi Wu written?
Chenyi Wu has written: 'Thermophilic bacterial alkaline phosphatase'
What enables growth in thermophilic growth?
Nutrition and temperatures between 40 and 70 degrees C.
