      It depends on the bacteria, especially where it originally came from as it will often be adapted to those conditions. Many species grow quite quickly at between 30-37 degrees as it is warm enough for there to be plenty of energy to help the bacteria use their enzymes to digest food and grow. But this could be too cold or warm for certain microbes!
