Micro lecture 20 Flashcards
Microbial hyperthermophiles grow above 80 degress C True or false
true
what are aquificota and thermotogota ?
these are phylums that hypertheromophiles
produce water as by product
aquifex
Chemlithotrophs that acapture energy by oxidizing hydrogen, thiosulfatre and sulfur with oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor
aquifex
what genus are able to grow in marine hydrothermal systems and terrrestrial mineral springs and have outer sheathlike envelope ?
Thermotoga
Chemoorganotrophs ?
organism that obtains energy from the oxidation of reduced organic compounds
what are the two families that belong to the phylum Deinococcota?
Dienococcaceae and thermaceace
Profile for Deinococcus
Spherical/rod shape
nonmotile
tertrads
Extremophiles
Which nonproteo gram negative bacteria is notable for resistance to radio activity ?
Deinococcaceace
what nonproteobacteria can eat nuclear waste and survive in a vacuum of space ?
Dienococcaceace
Contaims T.aquatics
Thermales
Which gram negative nonproteobacteria can carry out oxygenic photosynthesis ?
Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria have the ability to use water as an electron donor, but are unable to fix carbon to generate oxygen?
False they can do both
Chloroplast are cyanobacteria? t or f
true
Cyanobacteria are unable to enagage in symbiotic relationships with fungi and cannot fix nitrogen? t or false
false
they fix nitrogen
and can have symbiotic relationships
Cyanobacteria use chlorophyll,carotenoids, phycobilin and contain thylakoids
true
What type of nonproteobacteria contain carboxysomes?
cyanobacteria
what are carboxysomes?
they are particularly found in cyanobacteria and are comparts that store carbonic anhydrase and Rubisco
What nonproteobacteria employ CO2-concentration mechansims to facilitate high rates of carbon fixation?
cyanobacteria
Heterocysts profile
specialized cells for Nitrogen fixation
produced when organism is nitrogen is deprived
what is unique about heterocysts cell wall?
it prevents the O2 to diffuse into the cell that woul inactivate nitrogenase
