| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| require O2 and have a respiratory metabolism | obligate aerobes |
| number of ATP produced in a respiratiory metabolism by 1 molecule of glucose | 36 ATP |
| require O2-free conditions | obligate anareobes |
| metabolism of obligate anaerobes | fermentative |
| number of ATP produced in fermentative metabolism by 1 molecule of glucose | 2 ATP |
| products of fermentative metabolism | short chain fatty acids gas products |
| the terminal e- acceptor in respirative metabolism | O2 |
| the terminal e- acceptor in fermentative metabolism | organic/inorganic compounds |
| can utilize either type of metabolism | facultative anaerobes |
| need 8-10% CO2 in atmosphere | canophilic bacteria |
| need 3-5% less O2 than is in atmosphere | microaerophilic bacteria |
| Temperature range for mesophilic bacteria | 25-40C |
| Bacteria that prefer 25-40C | mesophilic |
| Bacteria that prefer <20C | psychophilic |
| Bacteria that prefer 55-80C | thermophilic |
| Temperature range for thermophilic bacteria | 55-80C |
| preferred pH of pathogenic bacteria | 7.2-7.4 |
| can't metabolize carbs or glucose | asaccharolytic |
| can metabolize carbs and glucose | saccharolytic |
| Bacterial growth phase during which cells increase on size and metabolic activity, but show no detectable proliferation | lag phase |
| Bacterial growth phase during which cells divide and a linear relationship between log(# of cells) and time is observed | logarithmic phase |
| Bacterial growth phase during which call division decreases and finally stops | stationary phase |
| Bacterial growth phase during which the viable cell count decreases | decline phase |
