Chapter 6, Problem 1TBP

Just as with most living beings, bacteria require the proper conditions to grow and reproduce. Rarely are bacterial cells found alone; so, you could say they are social beings.

During your examination of the topics in this chapter, consider the following:

Do different bacteria prefer different temperatures?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the bacterial diversity prefer different temperatures.

Introduction: The ability of the microbes to grow under certain conditions is termed as microbial viability. The microbial growth refers to the increase in the number of cells and colonies. The requirements of cell growth, division, and maintenance are categorized as physical and chemical requirements.

Explanation of Solution

Temperature is a physical requirement of the bacteria. Different types of bacteria prefer different temperatures for growth. Depending on the range of temperature in which the growth of bacteria occurs, they are grouped as mesophiles, thermophiles, and psychrophiles. The mesophiles grow at moderate temperatures, thermophiles are heat-loving microbes, and psychrophiles thrive in cold temperatures.
