Pediococcus acidilactici is a facultative anaerobe that grows well on de Man, Rogosa, Sharpe agar of an optimum pH of 6.2, with an overnight incubation at 37 and 45 °C (99 and 113 °F). It is also viable at higher temperatures up to 65 °C (149 °F). [3] This species is also acidophilic, and viable at very low pH.
Giardiasis is a parasitic disease caused by Giardia duodenalis (also known as G. lamblia and G. intestinalis). [3] Infected individuals who experience symptoms (about 10% have no symptoms) may have diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. [1]

Coliform bacteria are defined as either motile or non-motile Gram-negative non-spore forming bacilli that possess β-galactosidase to produce acids and gases under their optimal growth temperature of 35–37 °C. [1] They can be aerobes or facultative aerobes, and are a commonly used indicator of low sanitary quality of foods, milk, and water. [2]
The bacteria are mesophilic and grow best at temperatures between 35 and 37 °C. [ 1 ] H. influenzae was first described in 1893 [ 2 ] [ 3 ] by Richard Pfeiffer during an influenza pandemic [ 4 ] when he incorrectly identified it as the causative microbe, which is why the bacteria was given the name "influenzae".
