Q

Lysogenic phage

A

phage genome into host - prophage
host is now lysogen
excision and part of host genome is taken

CO2
30
Heterotroph
organic
31
Photroph
light
32
obligate aerobes
require oxygen
33
anaerobe
no o2
34
facultative anaerobes
use o2 but dont need it
35
tolerant anaerobes
grow in or without o2
36
obligate anaerobes
poisoned by O2
37
Respiration
glucose catabolism uses inorganic
38
fermentation
glucose catabolism uses by product of gc-ethanol or lactase
