Thermophiles like temperatures above 45 °C. The bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii likes heat above 110°C and Strain 121 is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum. At 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. So, 45 to 100°C is the temperature that the thermophile bacteria like.

Previous answer:

Well one person says 800 degrees celsius, the other says 200, and the other says 500 degrees. I have done some amateur research and my guess is anywhere from 100 degrees to 800. It really depends on what bacteria it is! This web site:

Says that Heat-loving bacteria flourish at temperatures at and above the boiling point of water, which leads me to believe that they can live in any water that is above 100 degrees celsius.

What term describes heat thriving organisms?

Heat- loving bacteria are called thermophiles. They are heat thriving organisms.


What are heat loving bacteria?

A thermophile likes high temperature, and for bacteria it is 45-100 °C. Some bacteria even resist temperatures close to 121°C.The bacterialike archae Pyrolobus fumarii can grow in water at a maximum temperature of 113 °C and Strain 121 at 121°C, surviving at 130°C.


Do stars have bacteria on them?

No. Even the thermophilic (heat-loving) bacteria we know that endures the highest temperatures (well over the boiling point of water) on Earth would not be able to endure the temperature of stars (our Sun's photosphere is about 6000K) - and there would be other survival considerations (such as aquisition of food, etc).


What is the comfortable temperature for bacteria who like the heat?

Thermophile bacteria thrive at higher temperatures, between 45 and 80 °C and some even higher than that (hyperthermophile). The bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii likes heat above 110°C and Strain 121 is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum. At 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. So, 45 to 100°C is the temperature that the thermophile bacteria like.


What are three common and scientific names for archaebacteria?

Methanogens (Methanobrevibacter smithii) Halophiles (Haloferax volcanii) Thermophiles (Pyrococcus furiosus)


What should heat temperature be set to if it is 30 degrees outside?

The indoor temperature setting should be at a comfortable level for living in. The outside temperature should be an irrelevance.


Why did heat kill Griffith's S bacteria?

Heat killed S bacteria in Griffith's experiment was because of the temperature of the heat. The heat was high enough to kill many things like proteins and enzymes, so the bacteria could not create endospores to harm the immune system.


How does heat effect rotting?

Temperature effects the decomposing of everything.


What will happen to food poisoning bacteria at body heat?

Generally they just go dormant. To remove bacteria, they need to be killed off by heat at a minimum of 63 degrees.


Why is heat used to sterilize nonliving objects?

Because heat destroys bacteria. Heating an object to high temperature kills of harmful organisms.


Do salamanders need heat?

Salamanders are Poikilothermic. This means that their body temperature is determined by their environment.
