Unit 1: Microbial World Flashcards
Microbes
Need microscope in order to see them
Microbiology
Study of minute living organisms
Too small to be seen with the unaided eyes
Microorganisms & microbes
Major group of microorganisms
Bacteria
Fungi
Protozoa
Microscopic algae
Viruses
Study or parasites, their hosts and the relationship between them
Parasitology
Study that does not need microscope in order to see them
Parasitology
Difference between microbiology & parasitology is;
Needs microscope in order to see them while in parasitology
Majority of the parasites can be seen with the unaided eyes.
Ubiquitous
Can find everywhere
Pharmaceutical microbiology
Encompass the subject of sterilization and preservation against microbial spoilage and with the responsibility for the safe, hygienic manufacture and use of medicines
Includes study and knowledge of the manufacture, quality control, the mechanism of antibiotics
Pharmaceutical microbiology
Father of microbiology
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
First person that identifies cells
Robert Hooke
Observed thin slice of cork under;
A crude microscope
Smallest structural unit
Little boxes/cells
He saw individual cells in his compound microscope
Robert Hooke
All living things are composed of cells
Cell theory
He called the live microorganisms as animalcules
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Constructed the magnifying lens
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
What is live microorganisms called?
Animalcules
Spontaneous generation theory
AKA: ABIOGENESIS THEORY
Forms of life arising from non-living matter
Spontaneous Generation Theory
Life arising from non living matter
Living organisms are came from non-living organisms/matter
Disapproved the spontaneous generation theory
Francesco Redi
Living organisms would not arise from non living matter
Francesco redi
Flies emerging from manure
Maggots arise from decaying corpse
Spontaneous generation theory
Proponent of the spontaneous generation
John Needham
Criticize; John Needham
Lazarro Spallanzani
Did the same experiment of J.Needham but ;no development of microbes
Lazarro Spallanzani
Supporter of Sponta Generation Theory
John Needham
Claimed that the microbes developed spontaneously from fluids
John Needham
He responded by claiming that the vital force necessary for spontaneous generation had been destroyed by the heat
John Needham
Showed the importance of oxygen to life
Anton Laurent Lavoisier
Anton Laurent Lavoisier
Oxygen is needed in order to living organisms to survive
Vaccination
Edward Jenner
Vacca-cow

Edward Jenner
In the sense of antibiotics
