Front 17

Infection Control

Back 17

Front 18

Microbial Metabolism

Back 18

the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce

Front 19

Microbial genetics

Back 19

It studies the genetics of very small
(micro organisms.) This involves the study of the genotype of microbial species and also the expression system in the form of phenotypes.It also involves the study of genetic processes taking place in these micro organisms i.e., recombination etc.

Hint 19

This involves the study of the genotype of microbial species and also the expression system in the form of phenotypes.It also involves the study of genetic processes taking place in these micro organisms i.e., recombination etc.

Front 20

Microbial ecology

Back 20

is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment.

Hint 20

It concerns the three major domains of life — Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria — as well as viruses.

Beneficial Applications
Why study microbiology

Back 22

Normal flora
Beneficial metabolic functions
Antagonistic effect - prevents invasion pathogens, over growth of
potential pathogens

Hint 22

Normal flora vs. identification pathogen

Front 23

two basic cell types
(all living cells)

Back 23

Eukaryotic (true nucleus)
more complex
Prokaryotic (pre nucleus)
simpler smaller

Front 24

Eukaryotic cells

Back 24

1 Possess a true Nucleus
Nuclear material surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
Nuclear material organized into paired chromosomes.
Nuclear membrane (DNA) associated with proteins called histones form the
chromosomes
Nucleus contains nucleolus the sites of ribosome synthesis

Front 25

Eukaryotic cells

Back 25

2.Internal structure more complex - contains organelles - each have a specific function.

Front 26

Eukaryotic cells

Back 26

3. Cytoplasmic streaming - continuous movement of the cytoplasm.
4.Cell membranes contain complex lipids - sterols (cholesterol).

Front 27

Eukaryotic cells

Back 27

5.Cell walls
Occur only on plant cells, fungi
Composed of cellulose, chitin.

Front 28

Eukaryotic cells

Back 28

Division occurs by mitosis, meiosis.

Front 29

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

Back 29

No “true”nucleus nucleoid
No nuclear membrane.
No paired chromosomes.
No histones.
No nucleolus.
No organelles.
No cytoplasmic streaming

Front 30

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

Back 30

Cell membrane contains no sterols.
Cell walls
All typical prokaryotic cells possess cell wall
Composed of peptidoglycan (murein).

Front 31

PROKARYOTIC CELLS

Back 31

Division - binary fission.
