Conditions are most favorable for bacterial growth

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Danger Zone for bacterial growth is from 41°-135° F (-18°-5° C). Given the right conditions, bacteria may double every 15-20 minutes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Let the abbreviation OGT means the middle of the optimal growth temperature range. The considered OGTs range from 2 to 52.5°C in plastid species, from 22.5 to 114°C in archaea, and from 7 to 85°C in bacteria (ref. to the Supplementary Spreadsheet) ().
Detailed explanation-4: -In general, the higher the temperature, the more easily microorganisms can grow up to a certain point. Very high and low temperatures both obstruct the enzyme processes microorganisms depend on to survive.
