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.
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.
Do EMB plate dyes inhibit growth of Gram-positive or negative bac?
The dyes (eosin Y and methylene blue) inhibit the growth of gram- positive bacteria.
What are the conditions that contribute to bacterial growth?
they need oxygen and heat and moisture to live.
Agent that slows or stops the growth of bacteria?
Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria.
What is the function of pyrogens?

Why salted fish can be stored for 3 months?

Can too much sodium chloride inhibit bacterial growth?
Yes it can. Before refrigeration was invented, people exploited this by "salt curing" meat.
Do dimes have more bacteria than pennies?
Actually copper, nickel and silver help to inhibit bacterial growth, therefore coins are far less likely to carry numerous bacterial colonies.

What is antibiotics produced by?
Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infections. They are produced in nature by soil bacteria and fungi.
Are medications that are capable of inhibiting the growth of or killing pathogenic bacterial microorganisms?
Yes there is a medication that stops pathogenic bacterial microorganism, it is called antibiotics. It is widely used today to prevent and inhibit infectious diseases.
