Why are the plates used in the skin microbiology experiment incubated at 37 °C?

a) The temperature of the human body is 37 °C and bacteria on our skin will grow well at body temperature

b) The temperature of the human body is-37 °C and bacteria on our skin will grow poorly at body temperature

c) Bacteria isolated from the human body would be non-pathogenic if grown at body temperature

d) Bacteria isolated from the human body would only be non-pathogenic if they are grown at lower temperatures such as - 20 °C

e) Bacteria isolated from the human body are all pathogenic and must be grown at - 37 °C so they remain pathogenic

Judy · Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The plates used in the skin microbiology experiment incubated at 37-degree celsius due to the microbes grow best at human body temperature which is 37-degree celsius. these bacteria are mesophiles.

The skin microbiology experiments requires conditions as the human skin to perform and study the living and healthy bacteria and some cases fungi.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
