Thermophile bacteria thrive at higher temperatures, between 45 and 80 °C and some even higher than that (hyperthermophile). The bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii likes heat above 110°C and Strain 121 is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum. At 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution.

So, 45 to 100°C is the temperature that the thermophile bacteria like.

Why did heat kill Griffith's S bacteria?

Heat killed S bacteria in Griffith's experiment was because of the temperature of the heat. The heat was high enough to kill many things like proteins and enzymes, so the bacteria could not create endospores to harm the immune system.


What are the best curtains to keep heat out and maintain a comfortable temperature in a room?

Thick, insulated curtains made of materials like thermal or blackout fabric are the best for keeping heat out and maintaining a comfortable temperature in a room. These curtains help block sunlight and insulate the room, keeping it cooler in hot weather.


Why do you keep cake in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria?

low temperature ti stops bacterial cell from dividing.Refrigerators dont kill bacteria like heat but it stop them from replicating avoiding the contamination.


What device might you use to heat a building?

You can use a furnace or a heating system like a boiler or a heat pump to heat a building. These devices are designed to generate and distribute heat throughout the building to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.


What is the comfortable temperature for heat loving bacteria?

Thermophiles like temperatures above 45 °C. The bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii likes heat above 110°C and Strain 121 is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum. At 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. So, 45 to 100°C is the temperature that the thermophile bacteria like. Previous answer: Well one person says 800 degrees celsius, the other says 200, and the other says 500 degrees. I have done some amateur research and my guess is anywhere from 100 degrees to 800. It really depends on what bacteria it is! This web site: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/11/981117080705.htm Says that Heat-loving bacteria flourish at temperatures at and above the boiling point of water, which leads me to believe that they can live in any water that is above 100 degrees celsius.

What is the difference between how the temperature feels like and the heat index?

The temperature feels like is the actual temperature that you perceive, while the heat index takes into account factors like humidity to calculate how hot it feels to your body.


Where does bacteria grow?

Bacteria can grow almost anywhere that provides them with enough moisture, nutrients, and a suitable temperature. Common places where bacteria grow include soil, water, and various surfaces like countertops, skin, and within the human body. Depending on the species, bacteria can thrive in a wide range of environments, from extreme heat to cold temperatures.


Does all bacteria have the same growth temperature?

No; like all life on Earth, different organisms colonise different ecological niches. Enterococcus bacteria like to grow at body temperature, around 37 degrees Celsius. However, Thermophila bacteria can survive in hot springs which are at over 90 degrees Celsius. For interest, 'entero' refers to the gastrointestinal tract whilst 'thermophila' means 'likes heat'.


How can I effectively insulate my roof rafter to improve energy efficiency and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature?

To effectively insulate your roof rafter, you can use materials like fiberglass, foam board, or spray foam insulation. Make sure to seal any gaps or cracks to prevent air leakage. This will help improve energy efficiency and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by reducing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.

Why does storing food in fridges help to preserve food?

Food spoilage is caused by bacteria multiplying. Bacteria thrive in room temperature, so refrigerators keep food at a temperature that bacteria do not like, which slows their ability to reproduce.
