Motility, Growth, Nutrition, Antimicrobial control, Bacterial Staining
4 Arrangements of Flagella
- Monotrichous
- Amphitrichous
- Lophotrichous
- Peritrichous
Monotrichous
1 Flagellum
Amphitrichous
2 Flagella, 1 on each end
Lophotrichous
Tuft of Flagella
Peritrichous
Flagella all over
3 Parts of Prokaryotic Flagella
- Filament
- Hook
- Basal Body
Filament (Prokaryotic Flagella)
- Long part
- Made of protein Flagellin
Hook
Connects filament and basal body at an angle
Basal Body
Embedded in a cell wall/plasma membrane. Motion is generated here.
Run and Tumble motility
Run- go in a direction
Tumble- stop and turn
- can* control how long the run is
- cannot* control the direction of the tumble
Counterclockwise flagellar rotation
Run
Clockwise flagellar rotation
Tumble
Brownian movement
Floating around
Eukaryotic v. Prokaryotic flagella
Prokaryotes- Flagellin
Eukaryotes- Microtubules, Dynien
Cillia
Short, lots of them
Flagella
Long, usually 1 or a few
Hanging Drop Slide
Indentation in slide to allow a drop of culture to be viewed. Best for showing motility
4 Stages of growth
- Lag Phase
- Log Phase
- Stationary Phase
- Death Phase
Lag Phase
In a new culture delay before growth starts
Log Phase
Max growth rate
Stationary Phase
Nutrients harder to find, growth stops because 1. No more nutrients 2. Inhibited by its own waste
Death Phase
It dies… duh.
Can’t be measured by spectrophotometry/OD600 because it can’t distinguish between living and dead cells
3 Ways to Measure Bacterial Numbers
- CFU
- Spectrophotometry
- OD600
CFU
Colony Forming Unit Spread sample, count colonies
Spectrophotometry
Measures Tubidity
- What % light goes through sample
OD600
- Absorbance/Scattering using 600 nm light
- Directly proportional to # of cells
What gives you actual # living bacteria?
CFU, the others also count dead bacteria.
10 Macronutrients
CHONPS Ca, Mg, K, Fe
Difference between macronutrient and micronutrient
Macro- Need to Survive
Micro- On the side
Leibig’s Law of the Minimum
Amount of growth is limited by least common nutrient or growth factor
Heterotroph
Cannot use CO2 as sole C source
Autotroph
Can use Co2 as sole carbon source
Phototroph
Gets energy from sun
Chemotroph
Gets energy from inorganic/organic compounds
Lithotroph
Gets electrons from inorganic source
Organotroph
Gets electrons from organic source
