Can bacteria grow/incubate in 70 degrees Fahrenheit?
There are millions of different types of bacteria, so it depends on which bacteria you are trying to grow. 70°Fis approximately 21°C psychophilic (cold-loving) bacteria will grow anywhere from -10 to 20°C therophilic (heat-loving) bacteria will grow anywhere from 45 and 80 °C mesophilic bacteria will grow anywhere from 15 and 40°C Also, there are extreme thermophiles (that live in extremely hot places like volcanoes) and extreme psychrophiles (that live in ice). So its hard to find a place in this world where some sort of bacteria won’t grow. Every species of bacteria has an optimal temperature (a temperature that they grow the best in). So you need to figure out which types of bacteria you are trying to grow. More than likely, since this is a science experiment, you are trying to grow organisms that might cause disease or live in the human body. In this case, try to grow the bacteria at 37°C (98°F) because that’s body temperature. If this isn’t possible, then 21°C (70°F), about room t
