Temp: 70 works best
# of microbes: more microbs=longer it takes to eliminate
organic matter: feces, urine, pus has to be removes before disinfectant is applied

Microb characteristics: Prions are more resistant
P,E,M,C,V,G-,F,G+,V w/t, V w/

88
Q

What is pasteurization

A

Not a sterilizing process.
Increases the shelf life of milk, yogurt and ice cream
Uses heat to fluids to kill bacteria, but only the ones that will cause spoilage

89
Q

What is autoclaving

A

A method of sterilization
Steam under pressure
Will kill all organisms, but prions, under 15 minutes at 121 degrees

90
Q

What are the principles of effectivness

A
  • Concentration, should always be diluted as specified
  • Organic matter should be removed
  • Ph
  • Must be left on the surface for several hours
91
Q

What are the gene sequences

A

C with G

A with T but in RNA w/ U

92
Q

What are the indictable system

A

Way to control protien synthesis
Type of operon, lac operon, not functioning. Is normally off.
Genes are turned on only if the particular substrate is in the environment, Lactose
Glucose has to be absent
LAC PERMASE will only turn on if the only ting to eat is lactose

93
Q

What is the Repressible system

A

On repressor, protein is not stuck. Allows RNA polymers to bind to promoter and the transcription of structural genes

94
Q

What is Transformation

A

When genes are transferred from 1 bacterium to another as naked DNA, occurs only when there is some environmental challenge thats is killing the bacteria there.
Dying bacteria picks up genes in its environment, if they have recipes that will allow it to survive then it’ll keep it, as plasmids or recombine them to the host genome. When its no longer in danger it will clean house and discard any genes not used in a long time

95
Q

What is conjunction

A

Another mechanism where genes are transferred from one to another
Requires a cell to cell contact, referred to as bacterial sex
When challenged they spend energy to make a pilus between two cells, allowing F+ cells to share genes with F- cell
F+ is the one with fancy genes

96
Q

What is transduction

A

Involves a viral. Fancy genes by accident
SAME AS TRANSFORMATION BUT INVOLVES A VIRAL FIRST
1. Virus infects bacterial cell
2.Chops up host DNA
3.Utalizes the cell to make more viruses. If those fancy genes are in cell, it keeps them
4.When challenge disappears, gets rid of those genes

97
Q

What is a mutation

A 
A change in DNA
no change in protein or organism but also beneficial
-resistance
-pathogenicity
Caused by UV and Aflotoxin
98
Q

Base substitution

A

Instead of C being followed by C its followed by T

Can occur by random mutation or mutagen

99
Q

Nonsense mutation

A

When a stop is inserted due to loose mutation

100
Q

Frameshift mutation

A

When one base Is kicked out and everything is shifted over
Making a different amino acid=different charge
Protein will be shaped differently now being nonfunctional to enzyme

101
Q

DNA characteristics

A

A-T. G-C
Made of deoxyribose sugar
2 strands, double helix
During replication, A to T and G to C

102
Q

RNA characteristics

A 
A-U. G-C
Made of ribose sugar
3 types: mRNA, rRNA, tRNA
Single strand
During replication, A to U and G to C
103
Q

What is transcription

A

Making a close copy of DNA
Uses RNA polymerase: will bring in base pair and RNA nucleotides:
RNA and DNA bind at the promoter

104
Q

What is Translation

A

Involves decoding the language of nucleic acids

AAA=Phe AUG=Met

105
Q

How do you classify

A

Depends on their rDNA
If they’re P or E
Their transfer RNA
Bacteria, Archea:Extreme high temp salty, Eukarya: Fungi plants and animals

106
Q

Naming kindgom in order

A

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species

Smaller the higher the similarities between them

107
Q

What is Nucleic Acid Hybridization

A

The process of combining single complementary strands of DNA
If 2 species are similar/related a major portion of their nucleic sequence will also be similar, they’ll connect completely
Complete bind=are the same
Partial bind=may be related
no hybridization=not related, different DNA

108
Q

A

means of viral replication host cell will recover will not be destroyed.
