Question

Can a mesophile be forced to grow at obligate thermophilic temperatures? Can a mesophile be forced to grow at obligate thermophilic temperatures? yes, given enough cells to start with No, the enzymes will not work at such high temperatures. yes, given enough time yes, on the correct medium

Answer 1

Answer: No, the enzymes will not work at such high temperatures

Explanation: Mesophile are organism that grows or thrive well when the temperature is moderate. They do not grow or do well when the temprature is too hot or cold. They can be found in cheese and yoghurt and are useful during fermentation process.

Human pathogen are mesophils they do well at normal body temperature.

Thermophiles are organims that grows at high temperature. Mesophile cannot be forces to grow at thermophile temperature because the enzyme will be inactive at high temperature they can only be active at normal tempertaure
