Bacteria And Their Uses

Front 1

Aspergis Niger

Back 1

mold which produces citric acid and is used in beverages and candy

Front 2

Brevibacterium flavum

Back 2

produces lysine, an essential amino acid added to bread and animal feed

Front 3

Rhizopus nigricans

Back 3

fungi which produces steroids that supresses inflammation

Front 4

Picrophilus sp

Back 4

archae that grows at pH 0, found in mine waste and hot spring run off

Front 5

halomonis campisalis

Back 5

alkaliphile that is gram neg rod and grows in soap lake

Front 6

deinococcus radiodurans

Back 6

bacterium found in radioactive waste- very resistant to radioactivity

Front 7

thiobacillus

Back 7

chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. aerobic, gram negative. makes carbon from co2. makes energy from oxidation of sulfure. acidic ph

Front 8

desulfovibrio, desulfobulbos

Back 8

sulfite reducing bacteria. they are gram positive, anaerobic, convert sulfurio acid back to sulfite (back to solids)

Front 9

dehalococcoides

Back 9

in reductive dechlorination. they remove chorline atoms, reducings compounds to smaller ones

Front 10

cyanobacteria

Back 10

nitrogen fixing bacteria, lives independly in aerobic environment (has heterocyst)

Front 11

Nitrobacter

Back 11

nitrite oxidizer- converts nitrite to nitrate

Front 12

propionibacterium freudenre

Back 12

microbe added directly to feed

Front 13

bacillus thuringiensis

Back 13

bacterium that forms protein crystals that ulcerate the insect intestinal walls- kill catipillars- bacterial insecticide

Front 14

psuedomonas syringae

Back 14

normal protein(ice plus) causes frosting and crystal formation. now protein gene can be removed to make ice minus

Front 15

saccharomyces ceresviae

Back 15

In Bread- used to raise leavening
In Beer- fermenttion of malted cereal grains

Front 16

Sour dough bacteria

Back 16

lactobacillus species

Front 17

Wine Making Bacteria

Back 17

sacharomyces cerevisia, S ellipsoidus

Front 18

lactic acid bacteria

Back 18

produce acid that inhibit other bacteria. found in plant material. when combined with salt makes things like olives and surerkraut

Front 19

lactococcus lactis

Back 19

bacterium that in milk to solid. produces lactic acid which drops the milk which causes milk protein to precipitate

Front 20

aspergillus oryzae

Back 20

fungi that makes soy sauce and sake

Front 21

helicobactor pylori

Back 21

peptic ulcer disease
