Cryophilic And Thermophilic Bacteria
Cryophilic bacteria, lovers of cold, can survive
at 14 degrees F. They can survive freezing in
meat. Thermophilic bacteria, lovers of heat,
in meat which has been baked at high
temperatures can remanifest within 2 hours
after the cooking has stopped. This survival in
extreme temperatures is one of many factors in
annual food poisoning fatalities from
meat and fish.
