3. bacteria

Question 3

classification:

Answer 3

domain-kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species (king Phillip came over for great spaghetti)

Question 4

ways to classify bacteria:

Answer 4

morphology(shape, size, flagella, etc), differential staining, biochemical tests

Question 5

serology

Answer 5

antibodies are produced against bacteria

antiserum-solution of antibodies

Question 6

slide agglutination test

Answer 6

unknown bacteria placed on slides, antiserum added to samples, bacteria will clump when with specific antibodies

Question 7

phage typing

Answer 7

method of classifying bacteria, which phages the bacteria is susceptible to

Question 8

flow cytometry

Answer 8

method of classification, cells pass through machine with laser, scatter of light can identify microbe

Question 9

nucleic acid amplification test

Answer 9

polymerase chain reaction amplifies DNA of microbe, identified using electrophoresis

Question 10

nucleic acid hybridization

Answer 10

measures ability of DNA from unknown to bind to DNA to form a known organism
