What does it means by mesophiles?
Mesophiles are moderate-temperature-loving microbes.
What is the incubator temp for bacteria on agar to grow?
Depends on the type of bacteria. Mesophiles (the most common and commonly cultured) grow optimally at 37* Celsius (or around there, depending on the type). Thermophiles (heat loving bacteria) grow well around 60-80* C, and Psychrophiles (cold loving bacteria) grow around 15* Celsius.
Can bacteria and archaea live in the same environment?
It depends. Not all bacteria and archaea can share the same environment. Most archaea are extremophiles, i.e., they live under extreme environments like high salt concentration, marshy lands, radioactive soil, etc. All bacteria however are not extremophiles. There do exist certain species who live in environments having high temperature (thermophiles), low temperature (psychrophiles), etc but most bacterial species are mesophiles and live under conditions of normal temperature (around 25 to 38 degree celsius). Moreover, temperature is not the only limiting factor. Any kind of extremity that would otherwise be lethal to most living forms are lovely places for archaea to live in. Have you ever wondered why cowdung is a good fuel source? Its because of archaea called methanogens which produce methane from the hydrocarbons present in cowdung. They are thus beneficial to us in a way!
What is the definition of mesophiles?
The definition of mesophiles is an organism that grows best in moderate temperatures.
Why are most pathogenic microorganisms mesophiles?
The body temperature is 37º C, which is best operating temperatures for mesophiles.
What are examles of mesophiles?
bacillus cereus
Are thermoduric mesophiles responble for spoilage of improperly canned food?
Thermoduric mesophiles are often responsible for spoilage of improperly canned foods
What are human pathogens classified as?
A pathogen is term used to refer to any disease causing organism.
What does it means by mesophiles?
Mesophiles are moderate-temperature-loving microbes.
What would be the effect of storage of the storage of the mince meat for 5 days in the refrigerator before assaying on the ratio of psychrophiles to mesophiles?
The population of psychrophiles should increase compared to mesophiles.
Why are most pathogens mesophilic?
The body temperature is 37º C, which is best operating temperatures for mesophiles.
What is the optimal temperature for mesophiles?
A microorganism with a growth optimum around 20 to 45oC a minimum of 15 to 20oC and a maximum of about 45oC or lower.
What is the example of mesophiles?
A mesophile is an organism that grows good in moderate temperatures. They are mainly microorganisms. Examples of these are bacteria, fungi and some archaea.
How do mesophiles get into food?
Bacteria are everywhere, so they might be indigenous to the food or may have been carried to the food via some route of contamination.
Why do most human pathogens tend to be mesophiles?
Most pathogens are mesophilic because they thrive inside of the human body. Mesophilic pathogens grow at an optimum temperature of 35-37 degrees Celsius, which is the normal human body temperature.
