Thermoduric bacteria
Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called thermoduric bacteria!
You know how some bacteria can make you sick and cause you to feel yucky? Well, these bacteria are different. Thermoduric bacteria are a special type of bacteria that can survive in really hot temperatures, like when we cook or pasteurize food.
Thermoduric bacteria can exist in different types of food, like milk and cheese. But don't worry, not all thermoduric bacteria are harmful to us. In fact, some of them can even be helpful by helping to make certain types of food!
The reason that thermoduric bacteria are so special is because they have developed ways to protect themselves from the heat that we use to kill other types of bacteria. They create tough shells around themselves, like a suit of armor, which helps them survive even when the heat is turned up.
But don't let the name "thermoduric" scare you. These bacteria aren't invincible and can still be killed when we use the proper methods to store and prepare our food. So, make sure to always cook your food thoroughly and follow food safety guidelines to keep yourself healthy.
