not necessarily- temperature below the bacteria functioning temperature will already retard them- just anywhere lower than its average temp. Take yourself as a comparison. If you were in a colder temperature than your body temperature (and normally a lot lower, will the temp make you shiver and slower you down, ven your thinking

What is the danger zone for bacterial growth?

The "danger zone" for bacterial growth are temperatures between 5 and 60 degrees


What Fahrenheit temperature is best to retard or inhibit bacterial growth?

Bacteria can theoretically grow at all temperatures between the freezing point of water (32 degrees F) and the temperature at which protein or protoplasm coagulates. Temperatures below the freezing point slow their growth, but it will not kill them. Heat treatments of 158 degrees F for 15 seconds will kill many of them, but spore-forming organisms require live steam (212 degrees F) for 30 minutes.


What is the best temperature range for medical bacterial growth?

It depends on what the bacteria is. If it is a bacteria that infects humans, then a temperature of 36-38 degrees C. Some bacteria like cold temperatures and some will grow in hot springs.


What two temperatures will prevent the rapid growth of bacteria?

If you are referring to pathogenic bacteria, then you are looking for the upper and lower limits of the Temperature Danger Zone. Under the recent version of the FDA Model Food Code, those would be 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57.2 degrees C) and 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees C). Those limits may vary depending upon the course you are taking or the legal authority under whose jurisdiction your business is in. Use their stated limits, unless the FDA Model Food Code's limits are the same.

What is the temperature for bacterial growth?

The best temperature for bacterial growth is around the same temperature as the human body, 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C).

Does Bacterial growth affect temperature?

Yes. Bacterial growth increases with temperature or humidity. Lower temperatures will inhibit or completely stop bacterial growth, but not kill bacteria. The best temperature for fastest growth of some bacterial strains (such as E. coli) is the human body temperature at 37°C. However, most species cannot survive in extreme temperatures. One way to kill common bacterial pathogens using heat is by boiling, a common sterilization technique.


What temperature does bacterial spore growth commence at?

63 degrees celsius


How cold has a refrigerator to be?

Temperature should be above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the colder the better. 40 degrees is a good setting. At 40, things will be very cold, inhibiting bacterial growth, but in no danger of freezing, which would be fatal to some fruits and vegetables.
