Given a choice between functionally equivalent designs, the simplest design should be selected.
Ockham’s Razor
- treatable, contagious bacterial disease
- contracted from armadillos
- incubation period = 18 years
- respiratory transmission
Leprosy
yeast fermentation
wine
- first to report cells (cork)
- responsible for the Cell Theory
Robert Hooke
first to observe the life of microorganisms
Antone Van Leeuwenhoek
Father of microbiology
Louis Pasteur
- discovered fermentation
- disproved spontaneous generation
- pasteurization
Louis Pasteur
created germ theory of disease
Robert Koch
Pasteur demonstrated that microbes are responsible for ____ which lead to the connection between microbes and ____
food spoilage / diseases
Pasteur provided the bases for ___ ___ which prevent microbial contamination
aseptic techniques
1) pour meat broth into flask – watch
2) pour meat broth into flask, bend neck — watch
3) pour meat broth into flask, boil – watch
Louis Pasteur’s Experiment steps
what will happen if you fail to bend the neck of the flask in Pasteur’s experiment?
original microbes will boil out and new ones will enter through the top and contaminate culture
When the broth was being heated in the Pasteur experiment, not all organisms were ____
What could have formed in the flask but did not?
killed
endospores formed that are not fueled by boiling / he was lucky that there were no endospores in meat broth
- The same pathogen must be present in every case of the disease.
- The pathogen must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture.
- The pathogen from the pure culture must cause the disease when it is inoculated into a healthy, susceptible laboratory animal.
- The pathogen must be isolated from the inoculated animal and must be shown to be the original organism.
robert koch’s 4 postulates
according to koch’s postulates, a specific infectious disease is caused by a specific ____
microbe
koch’s postulates help scientists identify the first step in ___ and ___ of the disease
treatment / prevention
Treponema pallidum
HIV
exceptions to Koch’s postulate
- causes syphilis
- cannot be grown in pure culture
Treponema pallidum
- causes AIDS
- can be injected but will not show any signs of disease in the test animals
HIV
first pasteurization of grape juice in 1869

usually singular, circular, and haploid
always made of double-stranded DNA
Nucleoid / bacterial chromosomes
usually for storage
inclusion
used for conjugation in certain species
pilus
used for attachment

plasmid
used for motility
flagellum
A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
- “guts” of the cell
cytoplasm
site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
70s ribosomes
Ribosomes in prokaryotic cells
80S ribosomes
larger ribosomes found in eukaryotes
many antibiotics affect ____ ribosomes
70s
- ACTIVE barrier that separates inside of cell from outside
- made of proteins and lipids
- more liquid than solid
cell membrane
