Heat-loving; -- applied especially to microorganisms such as certain bacteria, fungi and algae, which grow best at temperatures above 40° C (e.g. between 50° and 60°), and in some cases at temperatures that would kill ordinary microorganisms. They are found in naturally hot locations, such as at hot springs or the thermal vents at the ocean bottom.
(Gr.--Heat loving) Heat-loving; -- applied especially to certain bacteria requiring high temperatures for normal development.
Favoring higher temperatures ranging from 113°-155°F (45°-68°C). Thermophilic microorganisms thrive when the compost pile heats up.
heat loving,†or surviving well in high temperatures. In the composting process, heat-loving microorganisms break down food scraps and yard trimmings into a crumbly, soil-like substance.
Heat-loving bacteria that exist in a temperature range between 104° and 200°F. Ideal range is 122° - 131°F.
A Type of bacteria that thrives in very high temperatures.
relating to organisms growing at high temperatures (40¡C-60¡C). A stage in composting.
Characterized by having an affinity for high temperatures (above 40.50C or 1050F), or for being able to generate high temperatures.
Organisms such as bacteria that require a high temperature environment for normal development.
An organism that lives in an environment warmer than body temperature, like bacteria in hot water pipes.
Heat loving. Thermophilic bacteria are bacteria that thrives at unusually high temperatures.
temperature range of 125 to 135 °F where certain methanogenic bacteria are most active, the greatest pathogen destruction occurs in this temperature range
Literally, "heat loving." Thermophilic organisms have an optimum temperature for growth above 45 °C. Many thermophilic bacteria exist at high temperatures (greater than 80 °C) and many of their enzymes, which possess high thermal stability, are of great commercial interest.
