Explanation:
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: -Thermophiles and Hyperthermophiles Organisms that grow at optimum temperatures of 50 °C to a maximum of 80 °C are called thermophiles (“heat loving”).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
