There are many kinds of bacteria that can grow on a water fountain, such as Pseudomonas and Coliform.

However, there are things you can do to prevent bacteria growth. Filter systems, chemical coatings and ultra-violet light systems are available on many modern water fountains to inhibit bacteria growth.

Does bacteria grow regardless of environment?

No, bacteria must have certain things to survive such as food and a certain temperature, which would explain why boiling water purifies it of bacteria; most bacteria can't survive it. Also, bacteria can't grow in some deserts nor at the North and South poles; not enough food, awful temperatures. But...bacteria is very resourceful stuff, and you can find one species of it or another surviving *almost* anywhere.
