What environment has the most total bacteria?

The environment that has the most total bacteria are wet and warm environments. This is because these conditions are most favorable for growth and reproduction.


Why is the silt soil is most favorable for plant growth?

It is the most fertile


What conditions do bacteria reproduce in?

Bacteria form and reproduce in most cases in warm, moist sugar and organic matter rich environments. Bacteria growth is most effective in temperatures similar to body temperature and where oxygen is present. A neutral Ph is also effective for bacteria growth.


What conditions are most favorable for making methane hydrates?

cold


Explain why bacteria do not completely engulf the earth even though they reproduce rapidly enough to do so?

Bacterial growth is constrained by several parameters such as the level of nutrients around them, the temperature they grow at, pH and whether they grow in air or not just to name a few. No single bacteria can grow in all conditions so therefore bacteria can never engulf the earth. Most bacteria have fairly specific growth conditions.


What growth phase will gram - positive bacteria be most susceptible to penicillin?

Bacteria are most sensitive to antibiotics during the exponential stage (rapid growth).


What the most common way to grow bacteria is?

The most common way to grow bacteria is in an agar petri dish. The bacteria are usually placed by a swab into the petri dish and incubated for a predetermined period of time (The agar serves as a food source for the bacteria). Then, growth, or no growth, of bacteria will be observed.


What conditions promote bacterial growth?

Most bacteria will grow in dark, moist, warm areas with a neutral PH balance (ph7, water, sweat, most foods) and a source of food for the bacteria, such as sugars, and protein. All bacteria need to grow in conditions such as this is time. (And not very long, either. 4 hours on average) Sadly, the Human body is one of the most optimal places for bacterial growth. We have many nooks and crannies where sweat can gather in a dark place (such as under our clothing) and sit for long enough for bacteria to grow. This is why it's very important to keep clean.


What are the two most important factors to control the growth of bacteria?

Temperature and hygiene.


Why can't fungi and bacteria grow on your skin?

The skin is a surface barrier to most diseases. It is waterproof and it if it cut, the hole is sealed by a blood clot that then forms a scab to help protect you while it heals. It is very dry and acidic - conditions that prevent the growth of many bacteria and fungi.


are Antibiotics are useful for limiting the growth of most pathogenic bacteria?

no, many bacteria have become resistant due to improper use of antibiotics.


How long does it take for a bacteria for each generation to fully grow?

That depends on the bacteria, and the living conditions. In good conditions, most bacteria can create a new generation through binary fission every 20 minutes or so.
