Flagella Flashcards
Saprophytic
feed off of decaying matter
Streptomyces are + or -: and where are they found
Postive and are found in soil
monotrichous
One flagella
Amphitrichous
One flagellum at both ends
lophotrichous
many flagella at one end of the cell
peritrichous
flagella all over
two examples of organisms that have flagella
- E. Coli
- Staphylococcus Epidermis
obligate aerobes
need oxygen to survive
obligate anarobes
do not need oxygen
facultative anaerobes
can grow with or without oxygen
aerotolerant anerobes
use aerobic respiration but are not harmed by oxygen
microaerophilic bacteria, what is an example?
need oxygen but can only grow in low-oxygen environments, example would be campylobacter jejuni
acidophiles, and opitmal growth ph? were in the human body?
pH less than 5, optimal at level 3, found in the vagina
neutrophiles, an example would be?
pH level of 7, Heliobacter Pylori, found in the stomach
alkalphiles
pH of 8-10
