∙ 13y ago
Microbes are organisms that are composed of only one solitary cell or a cell which lives in a colony with other cells.
Thermophilic microbes are organisms that prefer to live in areas with a temperature that is higher than the normal.Mesophilic are these microbes that prefer areas with moderate temperature.

Advantages of thermophilic enzymes than mesophilic enzymes?
Thermophilic enzymes are stable (they grow and thrive) at temperatures between 60-80 degrees Celsius. This makes them easier to study. This is because mesophilic enzymes will denature at these temperatures, and unlike mesophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes will not denature at room temp (25 degrees Celsius, making it easier for scientist to work with thermophilic enzymes. In other words, in biotechnology thermoenzymes have thermo stablity that mesophilic enzymes do not, making them much better use under certain conditions ( where mesophilic enzymes would denature).
Why do you incubated bacteria dished at 30 degrees and not higher ot lower?
bacteria are divided in three type acording to temperature tolerance thermophilic bacteria that grow in extremlly termall gaizers. mesophilic bacteria that grow 20 and 45 °C (68 and 113 °F) psychophile macteria that growth −15°C to +10°C. most of bacteria are mesophilic that it doesent meaan thay grow from 20 to 45 °C (68 and 113 °F)
Does heating yogurt kill the good bacteria?
It can--if you heat it enough. But for yogurt, it really depends on the type of yogurt - mesophiic or thermophiic. With thermophlic bacteria, the dairy liquid is heated to as high as 125 degrees F to allow the bacteria to multiply. Mesophilic bacteria multiply well at room temperature - around 72 degrees F, so the higher thermophilic temperatures would tend to kill them off. Most of the commercially available yogurts found in the USA are thermophilic where mesphilic yogurts are available overseas. Examples of mesohhilic yogurts - Villi, Piima, and Matsoi.
What organisms are not killed during pasteurization?
Thermophilic organisms are not killed by pasteurization.
What is the optimum temperature of enzymes of thermophilic bacteria?
55 to 65 degree Celsius

How do microbes help reduce waste?
Some microbes can make us ill and give us a cold or upper respiratory viral infection (viruses like Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses), and some can kill us like meningitis and other serious bacterial infections. Some are good because they help break down foods in the digestive tract and our gastrointestinal systems have developed to work together with these "good bacteria" for our proper nutrition.

Is it possible for thermophilic organisms to induce infections in warmblooded animals?
Is it possible for thermophilic prganisms to induce infections in warm blooded animals
What living thing is found in a compost heap?
Macro- and micro-organisms are the living things that are found in compost heaps. Micro-organisms include actinomycetes, mesophilic, psychrophilic and thermophilic bacteria as well as many- and single-celled fungi. Macro-organisms range from earthworms to feather-winged, ground and rove beetles, millipedes, slugs, snails, sow bugs and springtails.
What does thermophilic mean?
"Philic" means "strongly attracted to or strong affinity for something".Thermophilic, would thus mean, a strong affinity for heat.
What are some examples of mesophilic microoganisms?
E.coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus
What grows rapidly in the danger zone?
Pathogens and other mesophilic bacteria.

What organisms are not killed during pasteurization?
Thermophilic organisms are not killed by pasteurization.
What is the difference between thermophilic and thermoduric bacteria?
Thermophilic bacteria have growth temperatures that range from 45C to 85C, with an optimum temperature of about 60C. Thermoduric organisms can survive at extreme temperatures, e.g. pasteurization, but cannot grow.
Why are most pathogens mesophilic?
The body temperature is 37º C, which is best operating temperatures for mesophiles.
