Log
This enzyme breaks down H2O2 to O2 & H2O
Catalase
most bacteria (in terms of pH) are
neutrophiles
this group of bacteria would most likely spoil your open, unrefrigerated slaw
psychrotrophs
this cardinal group of bacteria spoil food in the freezer
psychrophiles or psychotrops
phase of growth with maximal rate of cell increase
log phase
environment in which cell membranes shrink away from cell walls due to water loss from the cytoplasm
hypertonic
phase of bacteria growth where endospores may form
stationary phase
this cardinal group must have oxygen to live
obligate aerobe
mixed microbial communities not pure can be very harmful
biofilm
a relationship in which one partner receives benefits while its partner is neither harmed nor benefited
commensalistic

superoxide dismutase
optimal temp for mesophiles
35-40 degrees C
phase of bacteria growth in which cells are least homogeneous
stationary phase
the phase of growth in which the bacteria are adapting to new medium or other conditions
