Bug? Food poison germs dying well inside their temperature range

[TheMule]

Hi, I've just noticed this, germs are dying fast in polluted water at 41.7C. Should I report this as bug or am I missing something?

 

there's nothing strange going on there, I'm about to fill a cooling loop with pwater:

I think the stated temperature range is just where food poisoning does not die instantly. For it to grow, you need to be below 40C, I think.

Well problem is it's dying fast.  2.1 cycles halflife is chlorine level germ killing.

Not really. Chlorine is 100% dead in 1 cycle.

For clean water, yes. Polluted water resists a little more. Anyway that was meant more as a hyperbole than an accurate statement. Besides I'm quite sure I had big pools of 40+ germy polluted water in my previous colonies.

sorry but that's wrong, both water and Pwater germs die at the same rate in chlorine.  The difference is outside of chlorine germs multiply in Pwater

Germs are dying in chlorine at rate 100%/cycle and it will be fair enough to clean water and polluted water within one cycle. But there is also dying-off mechanism where germs are dying at rate 367%/cycle or so when below some level. This makes sterilizing process even faster.
