Microbes: Free living (cellular) Flashcards
Bacteria reproduced through
binary fission
Acid fast bacteria is used on
bacteria that stains both gram + and gram -
To grow, bacteria needs
moisture, nutrients, temperature, suitable atmosphere, ph
the pH bacteria prefers is
neutral to slightly alkaline (7.2-7.6)
spores are developed
for survival when moisture and nutrients are low
bacterial spores are called
endospores
a capsule is
a thick layer of polysaccharide that bacteria have
a slime layer is
an irregular and diffuse capsule
pili is mostly observed on
gram neg bacteria
pili is not associated with
mobility
two types of pilus are
bacterial attachment, sex pilus
is bacteria a prokaryote or a eukaryote
prokaryote
does bacteria have a cell wall
yes
do protozoa have a cell wall
no
the stages of protozoa development are
trophozoite and cyst
protozoa cause disease by
breaking down and absorbing nutrients of host
non motile protozoa is called
sporozoa
entamoibe histolytic
causes amoebas dysentery, and extra intestinal amoebic abscesses
saprophytic fungi
live on organic matter in water and soil
this polysaccharide is found in the walls of fungi
chitin
yeasts reproduce through
budding
classification of mycoses are
superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous, systemic
