Only certain bacteria can grow on sugar (sucrose). In order for a bacteria to be able to grow on sugar a certain level of moisture must be present along with the ability to absorb sugar as a food/energy source.

What is an Osmotolerant bacteria?
A microorganism that can grow in the presence of high sugar concentration
How do different bacteria feed and grow?
you feed it sugar and water and bacteria will come and then it can double itself every 20 minutes
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
Does yeast grow faster or slower with more sugar?
Yeast is a bacteria that feeds on sugar, which causes the fermentation process. In the process of wine making, grapes have yeast in the skin and sugar in the flesh of the fruit, the yeast then feeds on the sugar in the flesh fermenting the juice and making the wine.
Why does bacteria doesn't grow in jam?
It depends on the amount of sugar in the jam. Honey is almost pure sugar and nothing grows on it. It has been found in tombs. It has lost it's water and it is in a crystal but with water added it is just like it was. The high sugar "sucks'" the water out of the bacteria and it dies.

Does sugar kill bacteria?
the concentration of sugar in the bacteria is low whereas that of the outside, where the sugar is, is high. to make the concentration balanced, water molecules have to leave the cells of the bacteria therefore causing the bacteria to shrink and eventually die. (sorry if the answer is too long) this process is called "hypertonic"
Does Bacteria grow on fat?
No, bacteria do not grow on fat
How does jam last for months?
Due to the high sugar content, the water activity is so low that bacteria will not grow. However, if given the opportunity, molds will grow on the surface.
Does yeast grow faster or slower with more sugar?

What is bacteria that grow and reproduce?
All bacteria grow and reproduce
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
What is the temperature grow in bacteria?
There are a few different temperatures that allow you to grow bacteria. Warm temperatures tend to grow bacteria rather well.

Why are jams and jellies not attacked by bacteria and fungi?
There is enough sugar in jams to dehydrate bacteria, so that it can't grow. Molds are not limited in this way. The sealing of jam helps to keep molds, as well as dirt and dust, away from the jam.
Why does bacteria grow fastest at room temperature?
It is actually wrong. The bacteria grow fastest in incubators.
