If you are referring to pathogenic bacteria, then you are looking for the upper and lower limits of the Temperature Danger Zone. Under the recent version of the FDA Model Food Code, those would be 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57.2 degrees C) and 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees C).

Those limits may vary depending upon the course you are taking or the legal authority under whose jurisdiction your business is in. Use their stated limits, unless the FDA Model Food Code's limits are the same.

What type of condition will support the rapid multiplication of bacteria?

A condition that provides an ideal environment for bacterial growth, such as warm temperatures, high humidity, and a plentiful nutrient supply, can support the rapid multiplication of bacteria. Additionally, conditions that inhibit or prevent the action of certain bacteria-killing agents, such as antibiotics or disinfectants, can also contribute to their rapid multiplication.


Can there more less or the same amount of growth on the expose plates when incubated at two different temperatures?

It is possible but not likely. The warmer temperature normally favors more rapid growth. Some bacteria or molds prefer cooler temperatures.


What type of food properties do not allow harmful bacteria to multiply rapidly?

Foods with low water activity, high acidity, or high salt/sugar concentrations tend to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria by creating an unfavorable environment for their proliferation. Additionally, processed or cooked foods that are stored properly can prevent rapid bacterial growth due to removal of nutrients and control of temperature.


What are the three different growth patterns of bacteria?

Diplo- is a prefix that refers to a paired arrangement of cell growth. The prefix Staphylo- describes an arrangement of cells that resemble grapes. Strepto- is a prefix that refers to an arrangement of chains of cells. ( hope this helps)


What are the conditions in which binary fision takes place?

Binary fission typically occurs in prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, under favorable conditions with abundant nutrients and optimal temperatures. The cell replicates its DNA and elongates before dividing into two genetically identical daughter cells. This process allows for rapid reproduction and population growth in favorable environments.

What growth phase will gram - positive bacteria be most susceptible to penicillin?

Bacteria are most sensitive to antibiotics during the exponential stage (rapid growth).


The warm temperatures and high humidity of rain forests contribute to the rapid breakdown of organic matter?

Yes, the warm temperatures and high humidity in rain forests create ideal conditions for the rapid growth of bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers which break down organic matter quickly. This process helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, supporting plant growth and overall biodiversity in the rainforest ecosystem.


How does the population growth curve of humans compare with that of bacteria on a petri dish?

The current population of humans is growing at a rapid rate and not indicating it is slowing down to a carrying capacity. Bacteria exhibit this type of growth when growing in a petri dish in a lab.

How sound effect bacterial growth?

Sound significantly slows bacterial growth. In an experiment conducted in my college biology class, 6 dishes full of nutrient agar (bacteria food) were swabbed with bacteria from a students mouth and then closed and left to grow with music playing next to it. The bacteria that had music grew much, much less bacteria in the allotted time.
