Microorganisms have the capability to survive and grow at different temperatures at which food is either maintained or processed. They exist from the coldest of salty ponds in the frozen wasters of the polar regions to the boiling water of hot springs. Bacteria which are growing actively can occur at temperatures over 100°C in thermal volcanic vents at the bottom of the oceans, in mines acid wastes or in soda lakes alkaline waters.  Which states that, irrespective of the environment, microorganisms could find a way for adaption, survival, and multiplying at different temperatures, and they exist in a similar manner on food.
