Thermophiles like temperatures above 45 °C. The bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii likes heat above 110°C and Strain 121 is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum. At 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. So, 45 to 100°C is the temperature that the thermophile bacteria like.

Previous answer:

Well one person says 800 degrees celsius, the other says 200, and the other says 500 degrees. I have done some amateur research and my guess is anywhere from 100 degrees to 800. It really depends on what bacteria it is! This web site:

Says that Heat-loving bacteria flourish at temperatures at and above the boiling point of water, which leads me to believe that they can live in any water that is above 100 degrees celsius.

What is the temperature of heat loving bacteria?

Thermophile bacteria thrive at higher temperatures, between 45 and 80 °C and some even higher than that (hyperthermophile). No limit is known, and new species are discovered, but at 150°C the DNA is destroyed, so any imaginary bacteria that could resisting such temperature must have an unknown constitution. A variety of bacterialike Pyrolobus fumarii is found to reproduce at 121 °C and survive until 130 °C. Some genuine bacteria resist temperature above 100°C, and 121°C is needed to kill Clostridium botulinum.


Classification of bacteria based on temperature?

bacteria r of 3 types accd to temperaturepsychrophilicmesophilicthermophilicthey may b also gram + and gram -enzyme activity depends on the temperature of the environment, and microorganisms are classified in three groups according to their temperature preferences: psychrophilicorganisms (psychrophiles) prefer cold temperatures of about 0°C to 20°C; mesophilic organisms (mesophiles) prefer temperatures at 20°C to 40°C; thermophilic organisms (thermophiles) prefer temperatures higher than 40°C (Figure 1 ). A minimum and a maximum growth temperature range exist for each species. The temperature at which best growth occurs is the optimum growth temperature.

Comfortable temperature for heat-loving bacteria?

Between 5 and 63 Celsius. That's why we keep food in a fridge below 5 Celsius and cook at over 63 Celsius. The temperature bacteria grow fastest at is 37 Celsius which is also human body temperature.


Do stars have bacteria on them?

No. Even the thermophilic (heat-loving) bacteria we know that endures the highest temperatures (well over the boiling point of water) on Earth would not be able to endure the temperature of stars (our Sun's photosphere is about 6000K) - and there would be other survival considerations (such as aquisition of food, etc).

How do heat reflecting curtains help in maintaining a comfortable temperature in a room?

Heat reflecting curtains help maintain a comfortable temperature in a room by blocking out sunlight and preventing heat from entering through windows. The reflective material on the curtains bounces the heat back outside, keeping the room cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Why did heat kill Griffith's S bacteria?

Heat killed S bacteria in Griffith's experiment was because of the temperature of the heat. The heat was high enough to kill many things like proteins and enzymes, so the bacteria could not create endospores to harm the immune system.
