plastic tray at front
used tubes
wire baskets in angle position (plastic tray noncontaminated tubes, metal tray contaminated tubes)
used Petri dishes
double plastic bags at front
observed on a culture plate using naked eye
colony morphology
observed using a microscope under 100X magnification, usually after cell staining
cell morphology
arises from a single cell after multiplication on medium following incubation
colony
combined characteristics of a colony
colony morphology
What is basic shape of the colony
form
What is cross sectional shape of colony
elevation
what is magnified shape of the edge of the colony
margin
how does the surface of the colony appear
surface
how much light does colony pass through
transparency
pigmentation?
color
ability of a microscope to show detail
resolution or resolving power
show that two points that are close together are actually separate
resolution/ resolving power
resolving power determined by
NA and wavelength of light
resolving power =
wavelength / (2XNA)
wavelength of visible light, usually
500-600nm
when objective lens is separated from the object by air, the NA cannot be greater than
1.0
oil has larger _________ than air, thus increasing
refractive index, NA
NA of immersion lens range
1.2-1.4
resolving power independent of ________
magnification
needed to enlarge resolved image so that it can be seen
magnification
further magnification that does not increase detail, only easier to see
empty magnification
focuses light on the specimen used for illumination
condenser lens system
condenser lens system often contains ________, which is adjusted so that the circle of the light passing through the condenser just fills the objective lens
iris diaphragm
shape of individual cells
cell morphology
clusters, pairs, chains, or singles
cell arrangement
round cell morphology
cocci
rod cell morphology
bacilli
budding and appendaged bacteria
hydra and stalk
reporting a gram stain
gram+/-, cell morphology, cell arrangment
gram positive observation
purple
gram negative observation
pink
Gram stain steps
1) crystal violet
2) wash water
3) Gram's Iodine
4) wash water
5) EtOH
6) wash water
7) Safranin
8) wash and dry
allows viewing of free unfixed microorganisms with good detail
phase contrast microscopy
phase contrast relies on ______ of light passing through the specimen
differential diffraction
acts like a glue in a phase contrast microscope, allows cover to stick to glass slide, motility still observed in liquid
petroleum jelly
vs true motility; jiggling of cells caused by water molecules hitting the cells
Brownian motion
better resolution than light microscopes, wavelength is much smaller than photons of visible light
Electron microscopy, EM
EM great for seeing ______
viruses
used to examine the surface features of intact stained cells or viruses, or to examine very thing slices of cells embedded in a resin, electron beam passes through stained specimen to a detector
transmission electron microscope
examines surface of intact specifmens, magnifies 1000 to 10000X, reflects off surface, used with thin gold to make it scatter more efficiently
scanning electron microscope
Gram positive, nonmotile rods
Mycobacterium
mycobacteria are ____________ because their cell wall contains waxy lipids called mycolic acids that make the cells impermeable to many chemicals and dyes
acid-fast bacilli
once __________ (red stain) penetrates the cell wall, cannot be removed by acidic organic solvents
carbolfuchsin
malachite green spore stain
Schaeffer-Fulton stain
resistant form for survival of the organism in non-optimal environmental conditions
endospore
two most studied bacteria that form endospores
Clostridium and Bacteria
water soluble, forced into spore by steam, low affinity for cell material
malachite green
malachite spore stain counterstain
safranin
external protein structures too thin to be resolved by light microscopy
flagella
stain to make flagella visible
deposition stain
stain precipitate accumulates around flagellum, increasing its apparent diameter and making it visible under light microscope
deposition stain
polymeric sustance, surrounds cell walls of many bacterial species, perform numerous functions, resistance and adhesion
capsule
materials are water soluble
capsule
staining bacteria and background more intensely than ______
capsule
capsule stain technique stains the area around the capsule with a ________ and a _______ stain will color the cell itself
negative acidic stain, basic
appears as a white halo between the cell and darker background
capsule
cells that are red with a green interior structure after malachite staining
cells with mature endospores
brownish red cells after malachite green stain
vegetative cells
