∙ 12y agoBacteria can grow, multiply in aproxx 20 mins, given the right conditions. They divide into 4 in 20 mins, then they keep dividing further. They're all around us.
So, then why isn't the earth fully covered with bacteria? this is because the conditions are rarely optimum.
Bacteria need culture medium with the necessary energy source, nutrients, pH, and temperature. (scientists alter these to grow them)

∙ 7y agoThe environment of the bacteria will limit their growth. There is competition from other bacteria, the amount of food, water and whatever else is in the area. Antibiotics affects them in different ways by slowing their growth or by actually killing them. Ask yourself, what limits the number of rabbits in the natural environment. The answer to that will be the same, except on a larger scale.

∙ 11y agowell to be honest i have no idea. But thank you for coming on this question to see what type of condition are bad for bacterial growth.

What are the conditions that contribute to bacterial growth?
they need oxygen and heat and moisture to live.
What conditions may have promoted bacterial growth?
warm , dark and moist conditions.
Why use isopropyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth?
Isopropyl alcohol is used to inhibit bacterial growth because it acts as a disinfectant. This kills the bacteria and prevent them from multiplying.
Discuss a bacterial growth curve and phases of bacterial growth?
The bacterial growth curve is usually exponential in shape just like most of the living organism.
Type of spore that can remain dormant until favorable conditions for growth arise?
A type of spore that can remain dominant until favorable conditions for growth arise is called an endospore. It refers to an asexual spore that develops inside some bacterial cells.
What are the conditions that contribute to bacterial growth?
they need oxygen and heat and moisture to live.
What conditions may have promoted bacterial growth?
warm , dark and moist conditions.
What is the difference between bacterial and anti bacterial hand wash?
Bacterial hand wash favors the growth of bacteria on the surface of the skin ( hands). On the other hand ( no pun intended) ANTI bacterial hand wash does not favor bacterial growth and in fact contains agents to prevent any bacterial growth on the hands.
Why use isopropyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth?
Isopropyl alcohol is used to inhibit bacterial growth because it acts as a disinfectant. This kills the bacteria and prevent them from multiplying.
Does covering food retard bacterial growth?
No, bacteria can thrive under anaerobic conditions.
What organ sequester iron and zinc during a fever to prevent bacterial growth?
liver and spleen
What conditions make food go off?
Dampness and warmth encourage bacterial growth and rotting.
What structures found in the skin help prevent water loss and inhibit bacterial growth on the surface of the skin?
oil gland
What skin structure act to prevent water loss as wellas inhibiting bacterial growth on the surface of the skin?
Sweat Glands
How does vacuum packing prevent bacterial growth?
it minimises the amount of bacteria in the immediate environment therefor slowing the process of contamination
Discuss a bacterial growth curve and phases of bacterial growth?
The bacterial growth curve is usually exponential in shape just like most of the living organism.
How do you stop bacteria from thriving in a food swevice environment?
Bacterial growth can be hindered using proper food storage and preparation methods. For example: to not cut vegetables on the same board used to cut raw chicken would prevent a lot of bacterial growth risks.
