Question
Chapter 7.5, Problem 3.2CC
Summary Introduction
Many microbes, survive and adapted themselves to different kinds of temperature. All microbes needs suitable temperature to grow and survive, yet the microbes can somewhat adjust to minor changes in the environmental temperature apart from their suitable temperature. Such temperature is called as cardinal temperature that relates three different temperature for the microbes, such temperature are minimum, optimum, and maximum.
