Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria can live in hotter and colder temperatures than humans, but they do best in a warm, moist, protein-rich environment that is pH neutral or slightly acidic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Moisture – Bacteria need moisture in order to grow. This is why they grow on foods with high moisture content such as chicken. Foods that are dehydrated or freeze-dried can be stored for much longer as the moisture has been removed. Food – Food provides energy and nutrients for bacteria to grow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Municipal sewage, agriculture pollution, and storm water runoff are the main sources of these pathogens in natural waters [1, 32].
Detailed explanation-4: -Higher water activity substances tend to support more microorganisms; bacteria usually require water activity values of at least 0.91 and fungi at least 0.6. Every microorganism has a limit of water activity below which it will not grow.
