orderly INCREASE in the sum of all the compounds of an organism
GROWTH
what mode of reproduction is the BINARY FISSION
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
process of binary fission
- DNA replication
- cytoplasm elongate
- start of split
- split
- 2 identical daughter cells
how many is the product of binary fission
2 idential daughter cells
an increase in the number of SINGLE BACTERIA making up a population
CULTURE
is an increase in the size a growth among microorganisms
AN INCREASE IN THE SIZE IS NOT A TRUE GROWTH AMONG MICROORGANISMS
AVERAGE TIME required for the population, or biomass, to DOUBLE
GENERATION TIME / DOUBLING TIME
generation time / doubling time is _________ in every microorganism
NOT CONSTANT
BACTERIAS are said to undergo ________
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH / LOGARITHMIC GROWTH
PHASES of bacterial growth curve in order
LAG PHASE
LOG / EXPONENTIAL PHASE
STATIONARY PHASE
DEATH / DECLINE PHASE
a period where cells are DEPLETED of metabolites and enzymes as the result of the UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS
LAG PHASE
- cells ADAPT to their new environment
- enzymes & intermediates are FORMED
- NO DIVISION happening but still active
- preparing themselves to divide
- bacteria undergo INTENSE METABOLIC ACTIVITY
LAG PHASE
during this phase, the cells are in a STEADY STATE. new cell is being synthesized at a CONSTANT RATE
LOG / EXPONENTIAL PHASE
the EXHAUSTION OF NUTRIENTS or the ACCUMULATION OF TOXIC PRODUCTS causes the growth to CEASE COMPLETELY
STATIONARY PHASE
- cells are now DIVIDING
- cells are in STEADY STATE & grow
- the stage where most bacterial cells are MOST METABOLICALLY ACTIVE
LOG / EXPONENTIAL PHASE
- period of EQUILBIRIUM
- # of deaths = # of new cells
- slow loss of cells through death and balanced by the formation of new cells
STATIONARY PHASE
cell viability begins to DECREASE at a DEFINED RATE
DEATH / DECLINE PHASE
GROWTH RATE:
lag phase
0
GROWTH RATE:
log / exponential phase
constant
GROWTH RATE:
stationary phase
0
GROWTH RATE:
death / decline phase
negative
stationary phase is also called
PLATEU
3 major mechanisms for generating metabolic energy
FERMENTATION
RESPIRATION
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
characterized by substrate phosphorylation
FERMENTATION
analogous to the COUPLING of an ENERGY-DEPENDENT process to the discharge of a battery
RESPIRATION
like respiration but the REDUCTION OF NA OXIDANT via a specific series of ELECTRON CARRIERS establishes the PROTON MOTIVE FORCE
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
- process of PROPAGATING microorganisms by providing the PROPER environmental conditions
CULTIVATION
NUTRITIONAL BACKBONE for every microorganism
CARBON
organisms that DO NOT REQUIRE organic nutrients for growth. these are CAPABLE of MAKING THEIR OWN FOOD
AUTROTROPHS
organisms that use an INORGANIC SUSBTRATE
CHEMOLITHOTROPHS
REQUIRE organic carbon for growth, and it must be in the form that can be assimilated
HETEROTROPHS
major component of PROTEINS, NUCLEIC ACID, and other compounds
NITROGEN
- key component in plants for PHOTOSYNTHESIS
- a property UNIQUE to PROKARYOTES
NITROGEN FIXATION
increase in the population/number of cells
TRUE GROWTH
refers to the INCREASE in the NUMBER OF CELLS, not the size of the cell
MICROBIAL GROWTH
division time of E. coli
15 mins
the time when microorganism is ACQUIRED until the appearance of FIRST SYMPTOMS
INCUBATION PERIOD
