Differentiate thermophilic to thermoduric
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.
Yes. Storing canned goods in hot temperatures can encourage the growth of thermophilic organisms that survived the canning process.
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 organisms are not killed by pasteurization.
grow at extremely high temperatures and low pH
55 to 65 degree Celsius
Thermophiles can grow at 55oC or higher, optimum often between 55 and 65oC. A few thermophile can grow at 90oC or above and some have maxima above 100oC. Procaryotes that have growth optim between 80oC and about 113oC are called hyperthermophiles. They usually do not grow well below 55oC.
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).
Up to 500 degrees
Absolute growth rate(agr) curve enables us to express the growth of organisms in terms f growth rate. In most organism, agr increases steadily until reaches a maximum and then, gradually falls. Agr is a bell-shaped curve.
