It actually depends on the kind of bacteria. Based on their temperature requirements (temperatures at which they grow) bacteria are classified as psychrophiles (very low temperatures... even below zero).. mesophiles (above zero to say 20-30 on an average...).. thermophiles (above 50).. extreme thermophiles (very extreme temperatures such as hot springs.. may be in hundreds...).
