Answer:

understand with an example of potato

Explanation:

Clostridium botulinum spores on the skin of a potato can survive in a foilwrapped baked potato. If the potato is eaten immediately, the spores can’t

germinate. If the still-wrapped potato cools at room temperature, the spores can

germinate in the anaerobic environment of the foil, and the bacteria will produce

their deadly toxin. Don’t eat the room-cooled potato, or make sure it is unwrapped

before cooling.
