23
Q
  • resting stage of bacteria;

highly resistant to extreme conditions

A

Endospore

24
Q

• The structure that forms inside bacteria

Common or routine stains cannot penetrate it

A

Endospore

25
Q

Endospore

The ability to resist stain may be attributed to its chemical composition:

A

Calcium
dipicolinic acid
peptidoglycan complex

26
Q

• substance making spore highly resistant to physical and chemical antimicrobial agents

A

Calcium, dipicolinic acid, peptidoglycan complex

27
Q

> not synthesized by vegetative cell only synthesized during spore formation

A

• dipicolinic acid

28
Q

• Only one is formed from a single bacterium
• Not a process for multiplication but formed as a defense mechanism

A

Spore

29
Q

Spore found at the tip of bacterium -*

A

terminal

30
Q

Spore found near the tip of bacterium -›

A

subterminal

31
Q

• Spore at the middle of bacterium -›

A

central

32
Q

CAPSULES
• Example:

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae

33
Q

• GLYCOCALYX or SUGAR COAT

A

Capsules

34
Q

-> A general term used for substances surrounding the cell
- a gelatinous substance that the cell secretes externally

A

GLYCOCALYX or SUGAR COAT

35
Q
  • The formation is dependent on where the bacteria grew
  • help in determining treatment for a disease
A

GLYCOCALYX or SUGAR COAT

36
Q

Glycocalyx/ sugar coat
-> made up of_______ or _____ or _____

A

polysaccharide or polypeptide or both

37
Q

2 types of glycocalyx

A

Capsule
Slime layer

38
Q

› firmly attached to the cell wall of bacteria;

responsible for protecting pathogenic bacteria from phagocytosis

A

capsule

39
Q

-› used for adhesion

A

slime layer

40
Q

The background will be____; the capsule appears as a____ zone

A

stained

clear

41
Q

GRANULE
Example:

A

Corynebacterium diphtheria

42
Q

-> store carbohydrates (stain brown with iodine)
- “iogen” granules

A

Granule

43
Q

• Referred to as inclusion bodies

• Demonstrated by staining and other chemical means

A

Granules

44
Q

Granules are formed when

A

abundant nutrients from the environment are being deposited on reserves in the cell -> granules/inclusion podies

45
Q

“Little whips”
• Thin processes usually longer than the bacteria they originate from

A

FLAGELLA

46
Q

› fibers come together to make up
flagella;
It undergo expansions and contractions; contractile (same with the concept of actin and myosin)

A

Flagellim

47
Q

Types of flagella arrangement

A

Monotrichous
Lophotrichous
Amphitrichous
Peritrichous

48
Q

LABORATORY PREPARATION AND EXAMINATION FOR MOTILITY AND MORPHOLOGY

A. WET MOUNT
• Bacteria examined must be___

A

alive

49
Q

Wet mount

Process:
- Bacterial sample (from broth or agar) is placed on a drop on____ or ____ on the slide
-› Cover with a coverslip. Examine under microscope

A

NSS or deionized water

50
Q

HANGING DROP PREPARATION
• Bacteria examined must be___
• Make use of a glass slide with a____ on it (can be made from paraffin wax) or use commercially prepared slides

A

alive

ring

51
Q

Hanging drop preparation

• Process:
- Coverslip is added with a drop of____
-> The glass slide is allowed to stick with the coverslip
- Drop that was placed on the coverslip is “hanging” if glass slide is added and placed under the microscope

A

bacteria

52
Q

FIXED STAINED SMEAR
• There is a need to____ the bacteria
• The____ procedure will render bacteria immobile

A

kill

staining

53
Q

• Bacteria examined must be alive
• Make use of a glass slide with a ring on it (can be made from paraffin wax) or use commercially prepared slides

A

HANGING DROP PREPARATION

54
Q

• There is a need to kill the bacteria
• The staining procedure will render bacteria immobile

A

FIXED STAINED SMEAR

55
Q

-> is a type of preparation that bacteriologists use to start the determination of bacterial identity

A

• Bacterial Smear

56
Q

• Bacterial Smear

  • bacteria is heated to be fixed on the slide; heat fixing must be done___
    ->_____ coagulate which will make visualization on the slide better
    -> cells will become distorted to some extent
A

rapidly

cytoplasmic proteins
