-  Thermoduric: Microbes, which do not grow at high temperatures but can survive in it.

-  Mesophillic: Microorganisms, which  require optimum temperature of 20-50ºC for growth and multiplication.

-  Psychrophillic: Microorganisms requiring less than 20ºC as optimal temperature for growth.

-  Psychroduric: Microorganisms, which do not grow at low temperature but can survive.
