Step 1: Bacillus subtilis is a gram positive, motile, rod shaped, and facultative aerobe that is widely used to produce antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus is another gram-positive bacterium that is round in shape and found mostly in the upper respiratory tract. Step 2: Thermal death time is defined as the time taken to kill a microbe (usually a bacterium) at a specific temperature. This method was initially used in food canning and later found applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals The thermal death time for the bacterium Bacillus subtilis at 100 degree Celsius is approximately greater than 40 minutes. The thermal death time for the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus at 100 degree Celsius is approximately two minutes.
