Where do they grow? They can live in almost any condition such as hot water springs, cold water or soil, and salty water They can live in almost any condition such as hot water springs, cold water or soil, and salty water One type of Bacteria lives in water that drains from coal mines which is very acidic, and can have a pH of 1.
