cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator on a lab benchtop on the shelf of a 37 incubateor and on the shelf of a 50 c incubator after incubation there was not growth at 37 c or 50 c, slight growth out on the bench top and abundant growth at refrigeration. What term could be used for this species?A. HalophileB. MesophileC. AnaerobeD. PsychrophileE. Capnophile

Explanation:

D. Psychrophiles

Psychrophiles are cold loving extremophiles, which prefer very low temperatures between  −20 °C and around 10 °C. Typically found at consistently cold arctic regions, they have very little tolerance for temperatures above their optimal range. Thus, room temperature may be just above their optimum, while the refrigerator may be within −20 °C and 10 °C.

Further Explanation:

The growth cycle of bacteria is primarily influenced by temperature. More specifically, the temperature of their environment, along with the species-specific temperature requirements have major impacts on bacterial growth.

Psychrophilic bacteria usually grow more quickly at very low environmental temperatures. However, extreme temperatures (beyond their maximum and minimum) can slow growth. This determines their corresponding growth cycle and most species have a specific range of temperature:

  • An optimal temperature- for the best possible growth
  • A Minimum temperature- (or basal temp) the lowest temperature capable of triggering growth
  • A Maximum temperature- the highest tolerable temperature capable of triggering growth
