Bacterial spores are highly resistant to heat and can survive at temperatures as high as 250°F (121°C). However, the spores can be killed by prolonged exposure to temperatures above 250°F.
Ferdinand Cohn, a German biologist, is credited with the discovery of heat-resistant bacterial spores in the late 19th century. He identified these spores as being able to survive high temperatures and coined the term "endospore" to describe them.
Yes, olive oil can burn when used for cooking at high temperatures.
Yes, some bacteria can form spores when conditions are unfavorable for growth, such as dryness or low temperatures. These spores have a tough resistant wall that protects them from harsh conditions but they can be killed by boiling water due to the high temperature denaturing their essential proteins and enzymes.
A spore-forming bacteria, such as Bacillus anthracis or Clostridium botulinum, can survive harsh conditions due to their ability to form dormant, resistant spores. These spores are highly resilient and can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and desiccation. Additionally, certain extremophiles, such as Thermus aquaticus or Deinococcus radiodurans, have developed mechanisms to resist extreme environments like high temperatures, acidity, or radiation.
It depends on the temperature, but at high oven temperature some do, but the majority are killed.
I recommend using oils with high smoke points like avocado oil, peanut oil, or refined coconut oil for cooking at high temperatures.
Yes you can adjust the cooking temperature that this microwave will use.
Fungal spores can be killed and their growth prevented by using antifungal agents such as fungicides or by exposing them to high temperatures or UV light.
Yes, dry heat can kill spores at high temperatures over a period of time. Spores are more resistant to heat compared to other forms of microorganisms, so longer exposure to high heat is required for effective sterilization.
Yes, coconut oil is suitable for high heat cooking due to its high smoke point and stability at high temperatures.
