Question

Bacteria with an optimum growth temperature of 37 degrees celsius are __________

Answer 1

Bacteria with an optimum growth temperature of 37 degrees celsius are called mesophiles.

What are mesophiles?

These are a group of organisms that grow at moderate temperatures. Their optimum growth temperature ranges from 20 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celcius.

This term generally only applies to microorganisms, especially bacteria. There are other groups of bacteria which grow at relatively high or low temperatures

Thermophiles are bacteria that grow at a relatively high temperature and psychrophiles are bacteria that grow at relatively low temperatures.

The optimum temperatures of these bacteria are different because of the expression of certain alleles which release certain enzymes which are only active at particular temperatures.
