Detailed explanation-1: -These bacteria can grow at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C, which is known as the temperature danger zone. The fastest rate of growth is at around 37°C, the temperature of the human body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some bacteria thrive in extreme heat or cold, while others can survive under highly acidic or extremely salty conditions. Most bacteria that cause disease grow fastest in the temperature range between 41 and 135 degrees F, which is known as THE DANGER ZONE.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under the proper conditions (usually 37 degrees Celsius), the bacteria will consume the agar as food and grow into colonies called colony forming units (CFU’s). The Revolutionary Science Incufridge is a chilling incubator that can be used as a standard bacterial incubator for growing bacterial colonies on petri plates.
Detailed explanation-4: -On the other hand, in industrial and hospital settings, the temperature for incubation is set higher (37°C) to produce faster results (e.g. diagnosis, genetically-modified organism generation).
