The use/development of special lenses + lens systems to see what π«π
Culturing
πΆπ΅
Providing conditions that will allow the growth of microbes
Broth culture
A liquid culture that contains the nutrients the microbes need
Agar culture
A solid culture containing the nutrients the microbes need
Extremophiles
Organisms that live in extreme conditions
Endospore
βπͺ
A tough structure protecting the dormant bacteria/allows it to become freely living once external conditions are right
Normal flora
Microbes that live in or on a healthy living human body
Obligate aerobes
organisms that must have oxygen to survive
Obligate anaerobes
Organisms that cannot survive for long in the presence of oxygen
Facultative anaerobes
Organisms that can perform aerobic respiration but can switch to fermentation when little or no oxygen is present
Serology
The study of blood serum and immune responses
Strain
A subtype of Organism within the species grouping sometimes called a stereotype
Nitrogen fixation
Conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into a nitrogen containing molecule that organisms can use
Lytic cycle
repo. of vi. use host cell bio. res. in lysis of host cell to relese the
Reproduction of viruses using the host cells bio machinery resulting in lysis of the host cell to release the virons
Lysogenic cycle
vi nuc acid -> host genome =replu. as host replu
Viral nucleic acid is inserted into the host genome and replicates as the host replicates
You want to examine the entire organelle in a cell what would you use TEM or STM
TEM
Gram positive color
Blue
Gram negative color
red
What do you call it when you add a sample of bacteria to a culture
Inoculating
Difference between Archaea and bacteria
Archaea doesnβt have peptidoglycan
(pep-tide-oh-gly-kin)
Four groups of extremophiles
ππ€ππ½
Halophiles (salt- love) thermophiles (hightemp-love) acidophiles (acid-love) methanogens( methane-love)
Main method of reproduction among bacteria
Binary fission
Lactobacillus
Rod
Agrococcus
