DECKS Flashcards
Who discovered 1st microbes?
Van Leeuweuhoek
Who is Neeham
Believed in spontaneous generationdid chicken broth exp-failed
What did Spallan Zani do?
Heated sealed flask= no bacteriapeps said he cut out life source
Louis Pasteur?
Heated medium flask that had an arm coming off it, stayed pure
Koch’s Postulates?
- Disease found in sick, not in healthy2. prepared/ maintained in a pure culture3. Capable of producing original infection, even after gens of culturing4. Retrievable from a inoculated animal & cultured again
1857 Pasteur’s Theory?
Theory of Disease
1867 Joseph Lister
used phenol on wounds & surgery
Why milkmaids no get small pox
They contract cow-pox
Athenuation?
Exposed to dead culture, then survives when exposed to livePasteur
Who discovered penicillin?
Alex Fleming, 1929
Who is Carl Woese?
Proposed 3 domain system
3 Domains?
- Bacteria2. Eukaryotes3. Archaebacteria
Norm Pace?
Used PCR 16s RNA to discover new phyla of archea
Archaeal Genomes- Similarities to bacteria?
Circular genomehas operonssmall
Archaeal Genomes- Similarities to eukaryotes?
has intronsRNA polumerase, TBP, TFBhas histones
Archaea Phylas?
- Thaumarchaeota2. Nanoarchaeota3. Korarchaeota4. Crenarchaeota5. Euryarchaeota
Thaumarchaehota
archaealive at psychrophilic tempsice and seawater in AntarcticaAll have Type 1 topoisomerase, like euksalso live at mesophilies
Crenarchaeota
archaeaextremely thermophilicacidophiliessulfur dependentstrict anaerobes
Korarchaeota
archaeaearliest linage branch from universal treenot cultured yethyperthermophilic
Nanoarchaeota
archaeaparasites of Crenarcheotasmallest cell size and genomenot cultured yet
Euryarchaeota
- Methanogens2. Halobacteria3. Thermoplams4. Extremely thremophilic S- metabolizers5. Sulfate Reducers
