1. It really depends on the microbe, some grow best at very warm temperatures (thermophiles) while others grow better at cool temperatures. But, generally speaking warm temperatures are better for microbial growth. Most of the time, when temperatures become cooler, the metabolism (its ability to maintain life functions and continue reproduction) of the microbes slows. When the temperature is too cold the microbes become dormant (a state of ceased metabolism) until the temperature rises again. This is why we refrigerate food items, the coolness of the refrigerator slows the growth of the microorganisms, but refrigeration does not kill all microbes which is why foods eventually spoil, even in the refrigerator.
What else can I help you with?
What nourishes bacteria?
moisture noruishes bacteria. the wet damp atmosphere is an ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. the temperature also has a rapid effect on bacteria, the warmer the climate, the more easily bacteria is grown.
Why does bacteria grow fastest at room temperature?
It is actually wrong. The bacteria grow fastest in incubators.
Does temp effect bacerial growth Explain?
Yes. The warmer/humid the temperature, the faster the bacteria growth. It best grows at 10* to 40*. I think 37* will grow the best.
Do caterpillars grow faster in cooler or warmer temperature?
Warmer because heat speeds up its metabolism
Where does bacteria grow better?
Jello.
Should food be room temperature before reheating?
It doesn't really matter. In fact it's better if the food doesn't sit out too long before reheating. When it gets warmer than 40F and still cooler than 140F it can start to grow harmful bacteria.
You are doing an experiment on bacteria on the petri dishes your classroom is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit and its been 2 days already your science project is due in 3 days Will the medium bacteria gro?
The growth of bacteria is influenced by temperature. With a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the growth of bacteria may be slower compared to warmer temperatures. It is possible for bacteria to grow in such conditions but at a slower rate than if the temperature were more conducive for growth.
Why do blue whales grow fatter in the summer?
Because water temperature is warmer, meaning that their food (plankton) has better conditions to grow in. This causes the plankton to increase, so the whale has more food to eat.
Will mold grow faster on wheat bread in the fridge or in a room temperature?
Mold thrives in warmer temperatures; therefore the mold will grow faster at room temperature.
Does temperature affect the bacteria growth in bread?
fungi can grow at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. they struggle to grow at temperatures of 4 degrees and below because it is too cold for them to be active and reproduce. Fungi can not grow at temperatures of 37 degrees Celsius and above either because it is too warm.
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.
Pathogenic bacteria grow best at body temperature?
4.6-7.5
