What do we give Koch credit for
Etiology, the germ theory, and pure cultures
What is the germ theory
The study of microorganisms causing disease. Looked at body fluids or sick animal and observe the tiny organisms
What is a pure culture
When he introduced organisms to healthy animals to see developing symptoms
Fungi kingdom
Eukaryotic, Chitin cell wall, major decomposer, fuzzy white appearance
Plants kingdom
Eukaryotic, cellulose cell wall, photosynthetic
Bacteria Kingdom
Prokaryotic, peptidoglycan cell wall, come have tails, some photosynthesize
Protists kingdom
Eukaryotic, Flexible cell wall, uni and multi cellular
Animal kingdom
Eukaryotic, no cell wall, multicellular
Virus kingdom
No living, parasitic, DNA or RNA
What is the scientific naming system
Created by Linneaus Consist go the genus and species Genus is always capitalized or underlined or italicized Species is lowercased LATIN OR GREEK
What is Normal microbiota
Bacteria and fungi we have on our body/in our body that protects us by leaving no attachment sites for foreign microbes
Describe the Vaccine
Jenner was the first recorded to give cowpox vaccine
Prepared from living virulent microorganisms or killed pathogens and recombinant DNA techniques
What are antibiotics
Substances produced naturally by bacteria and fungi that inhibit the growth of bacteria
Describe Archea and its parts
Prokaryotic cells that lack peptidoglycan
Methanogens, Halophiles and Thermophiles
What are methanogens
Archea that produce methane as a waste product
What are Halophiles
Archea that live in extremely salty environments
what are thermophiles
Archea that live in hot sulfurous water, hot springs
Gramstaining process
Developed by Gram to classify bacteria in gram +/- 1.primary stain: crystal violet BOTH PURPLE 2.Mordant: Iodine BOTH DARK PURPLE 3,Decolorizer: alcohol -:CLEAR +: PURPLE 4.Counterstain: Safranin -: RED +:PURPLE
