Week 2 read 5.1-.5.14 Y Flashcards
What is microbial growth
Increase in population
Types to grow culture and what they are
1.Batch culture - Isolate in dish with 4 methods: Lag adapts to environment, Log cells grow, Stationary both rates the same Death, more cells die
- Continuous growth -Open system - nutrients supplied and waste removed
- Diauxic growth - uses two energy sources, uses up one THEN the other
Name 3 main methods to monitor growth + adv/dis
Direct measurement - Count with chambers, quick but don’t know if cells are dead or alive
- Viable count Spread on petri dish to incubate, accurate but time consuming
- Dry weight, Precise but time consuming
- Turbudity Change in light uses spectrophotometer, quick bet measures ALL cells
Main factors in growth
Nutrients temp moisutre stress ph pressure atmosphere
Necessary enzymes
SOD- super oxide dismutase, catalase
Chemoautotrophs
makes energy
Chemoheterotrophs
Finds energy
Binary fission
Cell replicates: Chromosome replicated, cell elongates, wall in middle,splits
Difference in binary fission and mitosis
BF in procaryotes/ bactieria Mitosis in eukaryotes
BF less complicated
BF in cytoplasm Mitosis in Nucleus
Chemostat
Culture device to grow bacteria
Cardinal temp
Max min and opt temperature for organism
Extremophiles
high heat
Thermophiles
high heat but lower
Hyperthermophile
X treme
Mesophiles
mid
