Algae
26
eukaryote,unicellular,non-motile and motile(flagella,cilia,pesudopodia)
Protozoans
27
obligate intracellular parasites,made of protein coat (capsid)and genetic material(DNAorRNA)
Viruses
28
developed aseptic technique following the idea of Luis Pasteur that airborne microorganisms can cause fermentatio
Joseph Lister
29
employed chemical method, using antiseptic chemicals such as phenol to disinfect air and wounds before, during, and after surgery which
decreased post-operation death rates by 30%
30
- father of Virology, coined the term virus – Latin word which translates to slimy liquid or poison - invented the enrichment culture technique to isolate bacterial cultures
Martinus Beijerinck
31
isolation of microorganisms in natural samples in a highly selective fashion by manipulating nutrient and incubation conditions
enrichment culture technique
32
developed the principle of chemolithotrophy
Sergei Winogradsky
33
type of metabolism where energy is obtained from the oxidation of inorganic compounds (sulfate, nitrogen gas, iron)
chemolithotrophy
34
“litho”- stone, “troph”- refers to the source of nourishment, thus “stone eaters”
Litotrophs
35
demonstrated the critical roles of microbes in the cycling of elements
biogeochemical cycling
