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.

37 degress C by the way, and your not thick, I had to find that out

∙ 14y agomost bacteria thrive in a climate that equals human body tempatarture of 37°F althought there are variation on this. Thermophiles for instance thrive in temparatures around 50°F.

∙ 12y agoi'm pretty sure bacteria grows best in cold dark places because the sun and other bright hot objects kill the bacteria when exposed !!!

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.
Why switching off the torch would cause the worms to die faster than when the torch was switch on?
Some bacteria and worms grow faster and lives more due to the sufficient temperature available for their survival. When a torch is lit up, it generates light energy on conversion of electrical energy and it's a fact that heat energy is also produced by a body if it produces light energy. The Heat which is released increases the temperature of the area which led the bacteria to survive more. On switching it off, the chances are reduced as the source of heat has been switched off and slowly the temperature will return to normal. Hence on switching off the torch the survival chances of worms and bacteria is get reduced.
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.
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 many times does a bacteria cell reproduce in a day?
Over 16,000,000 daughter cells can be produced from one cell of bacteria in one day. In scientific notation, that reads as 2 to the 24th power.
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 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.
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
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.
Would you give me a sentence using the word binary fission?
Binary Fission is a simple cell division how bacteria reproduce.
What are the important reasons for bacteria?
There are too many to list. Off the top of my head I can think of two. Firstly, bacteria can reproduce asexually very quickly and this helps in medical and scientific research because we can test it on a much larger population in a much shorter time than would be possible on any complex organism. Secondly, there are bacteria in your colon that are the body's main source of vitamin K.-Akilae
