Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the bacterial diversity prefer different temperatures.

Introduction: The ability of the microbes to grow under certain conditions is termed as microbial viability. The microbial growth refers to the increase in the number of cells and colonies. The requirements of cell growth, division, and maintenance are categorized as physical and chemical requirements.

Explanation of Solution

Temperature is a physical requirement of the bacteria. Different types of bacteria prefer different temperatures for growth. Depending on the range of temperature in which the growth of bacteria occurs, they are grouped as mesophiles, thermophiles, and psychrophiles. The mesophiles grow at moderate temperatures, thermophiles are heat-loving microbes, and psychrophiles thrive in cold temperatures.
