Most microbes, including bacteria and fungi, enter a dormant state when exposed to freezing temperatures, as the low temperatures inhibit their metabolic processes. While freezing can effectively halt their growth and reproduction, it does not necessarily kill all microbes; some can survive and reactivate when thawed. However, certain types of bacteria, particularly those with protective mechanisms, may withstand freezing better than others. Overall, freezing is a useful method for preserving microbial samples and food products by limiting microbial activity.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to microbes in the freezer?
Most microbes will become dormant or slow down their metabolic activity in the freezer due to the cold temperature. Freezing can damage the cell membranes of some microbes, leading to their death, while others may survive and become active again once thawed.
What happens to ice when it stays in the freezer for a long time and why?
It evaporates because the humidity in the freezer is so low.
What kingdom is most bacteria apart of?
Microbes
What happens to the water molecules in an ice cube when it is removed from a freezer?

What happens when you place a liquid in the freezer?
When liquids are placed in the freezer, most of them freeze over and become solids. There are exceptions to this like alcohol.
What happens to microbes when things that they live on die?
The microbes eat it up, it is called decomposition
What happens when you drink water with microbes in it?
What happens when you drink water with microbes in it varies depending on the type of microbes. In some cases, you can become very sick and even die from ingesting this water. Sometimes microbes will give a person diarrhea or cause them to vomit.
What happens when a cup of water goes in the freezer?
I think you need to try this. Put water in the freezer and see what happens.

Water becomes ice cubes in a freezer.
What happens when frost builds up in the freezer?
Your food starts to get a freezer burn
What happens if you put a battery in the freezer?
it charges
Are most microbes are harmless?
no
What happens to ice when it stays in the freezer for a long time and why?

What happens if you put yeast in the freezer?
It would still be like normal, only frozen.If you have a GOOD freezer
What happens when gravy is put in a freezer?
