what are the 4 main conditions that influence the growth of microbes?
|
Temperature, gasses in atmosphere, PH and osmotic pressure
|
|
Temperature has a great ____ on microbes. some have a broad temp range like bacilius 8-53 degrees C.
|
inflence
|
|
The number of divisions per hour is called growth ___. this is greatest at the optimum growth termperature.
|
rate
|
|
The cardnial temeratures are
|
minimum, optimum and maximum
|
|
___- temperature is the best for growth
|
optimum
|
|
Cold loving. 0-20 degrees C. best 15-20 degrees C most marine microbes.
a. mesophiles b. thermaphiles c. psychrophiles |
c
|
|
Moderate temperature loving
a. mesophiles b. thermaphiles c. psychrophiles |
a.
|
|
Heat loving microbes. found in volcanoes compost heaps.
a. mesophiles b. thermaphiles c. psychrophiles |
b
|
|
some achaebacteria grow at temps above the boiling point of water?
|
true
|
|
Microbes require vayring amounts of o2, co2, n2 and methane based on o2
|
info
|
|
These microbes require o2 for growth, aire atmosphere of 21%, They acquire more energy from a available nutrients than do microbes that do not use O2.
|
aerobic
|
|
These microbes grow in air and also grown anaerobically. Do not require o2 but douse it for energy producing chemical reactions. Anaerobically they get energy from fementation.
|
Facultative microbes
|
|
These can not grown in air they are poisoned by O2
|
anaerobic microbes
|
|
These anaerobes are killed by brief exposure to O2
|
Strict
|
|
The toxicity of O2 is due to molecules that are produced during reactions involving O2 this is a _____ radical
|
superoxide
|
|
_____ radicals are very short lived very reactive- they can damage every kind of m olecule found in living cells- including genetic material
|
Hydroxyl
|
|
______ peroxide and ____ radicals both destroy vital cell components.
|
hydrogen and hyroxyl
|
|
some organisms have developed protection against hydrogen peroxide and hydoxyl radicles by production of an enzyme _____ dimutase. this eliminates superoxide radicals by rapidly converting them to hydrogen peroxide
|
superoxide
|
|
We must grow anaerobes in anaerobic chamber, this system is when you add chemicals that generate hydorgen and co2. The hydogrent reacts with o2 on the surface of the palladium catalyst forming H20 and anaerobic conditions.
|
gas pack system
|
|
An anaerobic indicater changes from blue to colorless in the absense of O2.
|
Methlyne Blue
|
|
These microbes use O2 for energy yeilding chemical reactions like o2 best at 1-15%.
|
microaerophilic microbes
|
|
This ph lies in the middle of the ph range over which growth will occur
|
optimum
|
|
To grow at an acidicor basic ph. the microbe must be able to maintain intracellular ph of __.
|
7.5
|
|
minimum ph for bacteria is _
maximum is _ optimum is __ |
4, 9, 6-8
|
|
Molds and yeasts Ph is __-__
protozoa pH ___-___ algae pH _-__ |
5-6
6.6-7.7 4-8.5 |
|
Pressure force that water moves thru cytoplasmic membrane from low concentration to high concentration.
a. osmotic b. hydorstatic |
osmotic pressure
|
|
No net flow of H20 cells grow normally
a. isotonic solution b. hypertonic solution c. hypotonic solution |
a
|
|
cell loses h2o growh is inhibited.
a. isotonic solution b. hypertonic solution c. hypotonic solution |
b.
|
|
water flws into cells and disrupts the cell.
a. isotonic solution b. hypertonic solution c. hypotonic solution |
c.
|
|
This is pressure exerted on cells by the weight of water on them.
a. osmotic b. hydorstatic |
b.
|
|
Pressure dependent microbes
|
barophiles
|
|
Reproduction.
have new cells produced that are identical to the orginal asexual sexual |
asexual
|
|
this reproduction is the exchange of genetic material creating unique offspring
asexual sexual |
sexual
|
|
asexual reproduction in bacteria is ____ fission. parent cell smply splits
|
binary
|
|
meiosis forms the gametes (process where cells are haploid) thus chromosomes number is constatn when zygote is formed.
|
sexual reproduction
|
|
3 phases of the interphase in a eucaryotic cell cycle
|
g1- cell growth and synthesizes protein(following mitosis)
S- dna synthesis cell growth and dna doubles g2- growth2 (following DNAsynthesis) cell growth reaches maximum |
|
This phase is when the nucleus undergoes mitosis. Karyokinesis is 2 equal daughter nuclei produces. Cytokinesis is when daugter cells are produced.
|
mitotic phase
|
|
Increasing in number of constituent cells
|
growth
|
|
Bacterial growth by binary fission. logarthimic increases 1 2 4 8 16
|
multiples by 2
|
|
Time required for one organism to divid into 2
|
Generation time
|
|
Growth curve in a closed system
When bacteria are inoculated into new media. do not grow right a way.. adjusting to evironment. Not mulitplying just growing in size a. stationary phase b. log phase c. death phase d. lag phase. |
d. lag phase
|
|
Period of most rapid reproduction- peak time physciological activign and efficient gernation time varies with species, available nutrients and temperature
a. stationary phase b. log phase c. death phase d. lag phase. |
b. log phase
|
|
Culture gorws older and approaches maxiumum population that can be suported. Rate of reproduction slows some die. hwen reproduction equals death rate- number of bacteria stay constant.
a. stationary phase b. log phase c. death phase d. lag phase. |
a. stationary phase
|
|
This is when reproduction has stopped. death rate accelerates- all cells die within in days to months.
a. stationary phase b. log phase c. death phase d. lag phase. |
Death phase
|
|
This is a culture that needs to keep growing. culture volume and cell concentration are kept constant.
|
continuous culture
|
|
This is when cells in microbial culture do not divide at the same time there is random cell division.
|
sychronous culture
|
|
synchronous cultures allows researchers to study microbial growth, ,organization and morphogenesis at particular stages of cell division cycle.
|
