🗑
What "part of speech" is the specific epithet (species)?   Adjective - the genus is a noun.  
🗑
Eukaryotic species is taxonomically defined as?   A group of closely related organism that can interbreed.  
🗑
A genus consists of a species that __.   differ from each other in certain ways but are related by descent.  
🗑
Related species make up a __.   genus  
🗑
Related genera make up a __.   family  
🗑
Similar families constitute an __.   order  
🗑
Group of similar orders makes up a __.   class  
🗑
Related classes make up a __.   phylum  
🗑
Each species belongs to __.   a genus, family, order, class, & phylum  
🗑
In a pure culture, the microbes are __.   clones - population of cells derrived from a single parent cell.  
🗑
Non identical pure cultures are called __.   a strain  
🗑
Protists are being divided into groups called __.   clades - genetically related groups.  
🗑
Fungi develop from __.   spores or from fragments of hyphae  
🗑
hyphae   thin tube cells joined together - fungi  
🗑
What kingdom do mosses belong to?   plantae  
🗑
Which kingdom do sponges belong to?   anamalia  
🗑
Morphological characteristics are?   Structured - size, intracellular, structures, endospores, & flagella.  
🗑
What types of test are widely used to differentiate bacteria?   Gram stain & enzymatic activities  
🗑
Serology   Science that studies serum & immune responses that are evident in serum.  
🗑
Antigenic   Microorganism that enter an animal's body stimulate it to form antibodies.  
🗑
Antiserum   A blood-derived fluid containing antibodies.  
🗑
Slide agglutination test   Samples of unknown bacterium placed on slide & antiserum added to induce agglutination (clumping).  
🗑
Agglutination results when bacteria are mixed __.   with antiserum (antibodies)  
🗑
Serological testing can differentiate __.   microbial species & strains within species.  
🗑
Strains with different antigens are called __.   serotypes, serovars, or biovars  
🗑
Enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).   Antibodies placed in a microplate & an unknown type of bacterium is added - reaction provides ID of bacteria.  
🗑
How are the slide agglutination test & ELISA test similar?   Both use antibodies to test unknown bacterium.  
🗑
Western blotting   Used to ID antibodies in patient's serum - known proteins removed from bacterium/virus by electrophores - blotted into filter & then patient's serum washed over filter - if they have antibodies, they will cling.  
🗑
phage typing   Test for determining which phages a bacteria is susceptible to - looks for similarities among bacteria.  
🗑

🗑
What is being identified in phage typing?   Wherever the pages are able to infect & lyse the bacterial cells, clearings in the bacterial growth (called plaques) appear.  
🗑
What is FAME?   Fatty acid methyl ester - fatty acid profile that tests for which fatty acid a bacteria metabolizes.  
🗑
Flow cytometry   A moving fluid containing bacteria is forced through a small opening - test for electrical conductivity - or light skattering.  
🗑
DNA base composition   Percent of guanine plus cytosine (G + C).  
🗑
The base composition of a single species is theoretically __.   a fixed property  
🗑

🗑
A 40% GC bacteria & a 60% bacterium are __.   probably not related  
🗑
What comprises DNA fingerprints?   A comparison of the number & sizes of restriction fragments (RFLPs).  
🗑
What is an RFLP?   Restriction fragments produced when DNA subjected to a restriction enzyme.  
🗑
Nucleic acid hybridization   2 single strands of DNA are cooled & bind to each other through complementary base pairing - the greater the degree of hybridization, the greater the degree of relatedness.  
🗑
Nucleic acid hybridization reactions are the basis of what techniques?   Southern Blotting, DNA chip, ribotyping & ribosomal RNA sequencing, & FISH.  
🗑
Southern Blotting   Uses DNA probes to detect the pretense of specific DNA in restriction fragments separate by electrophoresis.
