It varies depending on the bacterium. Archaeoglobus can also be found in high-temperature oil fields where they may contribute to oil field souring. Optimal growth of these organisms occurs at approximately 83 deg C. Sporolactobacillus, a genus of anaerobic endospore-forming Gram-positive motile rod-shaped lactic acid bacteria, grows optimally at temperatures around 35 deg C.

Why do scientists not classify viruses as living things?
Viruses have no self metabolism nor ability to reproduce autonomously, but bacteria can reproduce, grow and metabolize without the help of another cell. An easy way to think about it is this: If all life in the Universe were to die, but bacteria were left in tact (alive), they would survive and continue to live and reproduce. If bacteria were wiped out as well as all other life, but viruses were unaffected (left in tact), they would all disintegrate/decay (fall apart) fairly quickly and there is no conceivable way they could reproduce. This is because the virus isn't alive, it is just a collection of molecules that living things will "copy" (reproduce) if they come into contact with them, due to the particular interactions the living cell has with those viral molecules.
In which organisms could evolution occur most rapidly?
Evolution depends upon genetic variations selected by natural selection each generation, so the species which reproduce the fastest generally evolve the fastest - those would be germs, viruses and other microscopic lifeforms. Cancer cells evolve pretty fast too, unfortunately. Luckily their adaptations are not cumulative, since they cannot reproduce outside of the patients' body and go on evolving for hundreds of years.
What would happen if things living did not reproduce?
We would die out of age. And everything will come to a end.
Do fallen leaves decay very slowly in the rainforest?
Fallen leaves would decay very rapidly in the rainforest because of its favourable temperature and abundance of microorganisms. In contrast, fallen leaves would decay very slowly in regions that are cold and sparsely populated by even bacteria such as the tundra.
What would be a really cool science project?
Something about bacteria.
Why are bacteria able to produce large number in such a short period of time?
Bacteria use binary fission( splitting into two identical bacteria) to reproduce, They do this at such a high rate and short time that can grow in number very fast. They reproduce so quickly so they can survive because if they did not have the numbers they had they would be killed much more quickly.
Which would breed the most bacteria?
The amount of bacteria that could breed in a given time would depend on several factors. Bacteria require a source of nutrients, a warm environment, an energy source such as oxygen, and pH to grow and reproduce quickly.
How many bacteria would you have if you started with one?
Bacteria multiply by cell division, i.e. they can reproduce from one organism. How many bacteria you would have depends on a large number of factors, the main one being the time period! Other factors include type of bacteria and temperature.
How quickly do bacteria reproduce. Show this pattern as a graph?
Bacteria can reproduce rapidly, with some species being able to double their population every 20 minutes under ideal conditions. This exponential growth pattern is typically represented as a J-shaped curve on a graph, where population size increases slowly at first and then rapidly accelerates. The graph would show a steep upward curve as the population expands.
Why you use Fluid Thioglycollate medium for bacterial contamination checking?
Fluid Thioglycollate is a medium used to grow and observe all manner of aerotolerance in bacteria. Therefore if you were to place a sample in it to see if it contained bacteria or not, given the correct temperature needed, the bacteria would be able to be observed fairly quickly as they would grow exponentially in this nutrient rich environment.
Farmers looking to grow large quantities of food quickly would utilize plants that reproduce?
asexually
What factors can you control that would slow down the reproduction of the bacteria?
One of the factors that can you control that would slow down the reproduction of bacteria is the temperature and the humidity. Many bacteria grow best in a warm, humid environment similar to human body temperature.
What is the characteristic of bacteria?
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus and organelles. They have a cell wall and reproduce through binary fission. Bacteria can be beneficial or harmful to humans and other organisms.
Will freezing a germ kill it?
the answer is yes. this is because the decreasing temperature would cause most of the bacteria cells to die and eventually the bacteria would die.
What happens to bacteria in frozen food?
The bacteria in frozen food die. This is because bacteria need food, water, and a warm temperature in order to survive.
Would you give me a sentence using the word binary fission?
Binary Fission is a simple cell division how bacteria reproduce.
How many times does a bacteria cell reproduce in a day?
The rate at which a bacteria cell reproduces can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions. Some bacteria can replicate every 20 minutes under optimal conditions, while others may have longer replication times. In general, bacteria can reproduce multiple times in a day if conditions are favorable.
