Intro to Bacteriology Flashcards
2 Types of energy production
CATABOLIC REACTIONS
DEGRADATIVE REACTIONS
2 Types of energy utilization
ANABOLIC REACTIONS
BIOSYNTHETIC REACTIONS
Considered the utilization of metabolic pathways involved in the acquisition of nutrients from the environment, production of precursor metabolites, and energy production
Fueling
Endoenzyme
gram (-) bacteria
Exoenzyme
gram (+) bacteria
Always produced by the cell, independent of the composition at which it is grown
Constitutive
produced by cell in response to a particular substrate
Adaptive
Metabolic differences are used as ____________
in identification of bacteria
Phenotypic Markers
complete oxidation of glucose
Respiration
most efficient in terms of energy generation
Oxidation
3 stages of oxidation
Glycolysis
Kreb’s cycle
Electron transport chain
anaerobic process/ partial oxidation
of glucose
Fermentation
Simple diffusion
water, O2, CO2
active transport
sugars, amino acids,
organic acids, and many inorganic ions
group
translocation
sugars, purines, pyrimidines, and fatty
acid
