CONTROLING MICROBIAL GROWTH: IN VITRO Flashcards
In vitro
Occurrences that happen outside the body
in vivo
Occurrences that happen inside the body
Factors that affect Microbial growth
1.Availability of nutrients
2. Moisture
3.Temperature
4.pH
5. Osmotic Pressure and salinity
6. Barometric pressure
7. Gaseous atmosphere
complete drying process
desiccation
example of Thermophiles
Pyrolobus fumarri
organism that live in >100 deg.
Hyperthemophiles or extremethermophiles
an archaeon organism that live in 113 deg. Celsius
Pyrolobus fumarri
organism that grow in normal body temperature
mesophiles
A group pf psychrophiles that has an optimum growth of 4 deg.
psychotrophs
prefer warm temperatures but can tolerate very cold temperature
psychoduric organisms
bread molds
psychotrops
example of psychoduric organisms

types of pH affecting microbial growth
Acidophiles
Alkaliphiles
hydrogen ion of the solution
pH
ph 2-5
acidophile
ph >8.5 and example:
Alkaliphiles, intestine Vibrio cholerae
pressure on the cell membrane outside and inside the cell: where, pressure is equal.
osmotic pressure
The movement of solvent from low solute to high solute.
osmosis
equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell
isotonic
no cell movement water
isotonic
concentration of the solute outside the cell is GREATER than than inside.
HYPERTONIC
HYPERTONIC
RBC CRENATION
PLASMOLYSIS (BACTERIAL CELL)
Concentration of the solute is LOWER outside than inside
hemolysis RBC
plasmoptysis (bacterial cell)
