Bacteria typically thrive in warm, humid, and dark environments. This is a reason why the human body is an ideal breeding-ground for bacteria; the interior is the ideal temperature for bacteria, well-supplied with adequate moisture and nutrition, and usually dark. Additionally, some bacteria, extremophiles, are able to survive, even thrive, in extremely acidic, alkaline, or salty environments, or incredibly hot or cold environments, or incredibly wet or dry environments.

Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce?

Bacteria require adequate nutrients and conditions to thrive and reproduce. These vary depending on the type of bacteria. For example, there are both autotrophic bacteria, that require CO2 as their carbon source, and heterotrophic bacteria, that require one or more organic molecules for their carbon source. Because of this they usually live off of autotrophs. There are also bacteria that only thrive and reproduce in extreme conditions. These extremophiles may reside in high or low pH environments, very high heat (hot springs) or low temperatures (glaciers), very salty environments and other extremes.
