Just answer yes or no to the first question and reason to the second question. Thanks!!!

Can bacteria survive at 60 degrees or more? Why?
Yes.





There are bacteria that can survive in almost any conditions. They've adapted to their surroundings. Some bacteria thrive in temperatures over 100 F.
Reply:Yes. However you should have stated whether or not we were talking about Celsius or Fahrenheit. There is a big difference.





Bacteria are found virtually everywhere on the planet, including in deep thermal vents located on the bottom of the ocean. Temperatures there can exceed 500 deg C from the vents, yet life exists in them.





Now here is where your question gets tricky. Some bacteria are able to produce spores when they sense that they are in a condition where survival is not optimal. These spores have hard Calcium based outer membranes and can easily survive in temperatures above 100deg C and when conditions are right, the spores will begin to germinate, and become full blown bacteria again.





Hope this helps.
Reply:if 60 degrees farenheit, yes.


most bacteria live very well especially when at body temperature, 98.6 degrees farenheit.
