Thermophile bacteria thrive at higher temperatures, between 45 and 80 °C and some even higher than that (hyperthermophile). No limit is known, and new species are discovered, but at 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. A variety of bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii 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.

∙ 10y agoIt varies with the location (or really the pressure).
On the surface it goes from about 160 [F] (where pasteurization would occur) up to just under boiling (100 Cent).
But under pressure (under water) it can go to at least 200 [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 heat loving bacteria?
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: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/11/981117080705.htm 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 are alkaline-loving bacteria called?
Alkaliphiles
Why do you keep cake in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria?
low temperature ti stops bacterial cell from dividing.Refrigerators dont kill bacteria like heat but it stop them from replicating avoiding the contamination.
Why must cooked food be kept hot or cold but never at room temperature?
because at hot temperature the bacteria and all that nasty stuff is killed because of the heat, at cold temperatures they can't breed or survive due to the lack of heat, but room temperature is just right for them
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.

What are three common and scientific names for archaebacteria?
Methanogens (Methanobrevibacter smithii) Halophiles (Haloferax volcanii) Thermophiles (Pyrococcus furiosus)
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.

How do you treat milk to stop it causes diseases?
You pasteurize it, which means heat it to a temperature that kills off most of the bacteria.
Why heat is used to preseve food?
Heat of itself does not spoil food. What spoil the food is the growth of bacteria in the food.At low temperatures (in a fridge) these bacteria only grow slowly but when the food warms up to room temperature the bacteria grow faster and the food will spoil. The reason for this is that for every 10oC rise in temperature the rate of chemical reactions (ie the metabolic rate of the bacteria) doubles. Obviously above a certain temperature (boiling point) the heat is so much that the bacteria are killed off.
