Abstract:
Temperature has a significant impact on bacterial growth and is a major factor in influencing the pace of metabolism, reproduction, and overall survival of bacteria. This study looks at how various temperature regimes affect the growth patterns of bacterial isolates of stem rot causing bacteria. Through the use of temperature ranges of 20±2 °C to 40±2 °C, we were able to observe different growth curves for seven different Klebsiella aerogenes bacterial isoaltes. It was discovered that 25±2 °C was the ideal growth temperature for each of the seven Klebsiella aerogenes isolates. The findings demonstrate the adaptive strategies used by bacteria to endure and multiply in a variety of thermal settings, including the synthesis of particular enzymes and structural proteins that are effective at their respective ideal temperatures. Comprehending these growth dynamics is important for several domains, such as agricultural field microbiology, biotechnology, and their habitat, where bacterial growth management is essential to prevent crop damage.
