| Important events in early stages of microbiology | 1. Spores and sterilization 2. Spontaneous Generation vs. Germ Theory of Disease 3. Ascptic techniques |
| viral particles | -not a cell (or noncellular) -passive -come by chance -type of infection particles that rely on cells to reproduce |
| Who was the first person to document microorganisms? | Antonie van Leeuwenhoek |
| What means the image will remain in focus when changing from a lower power objective lens to a higher-power lens? | parfocal |
| What is the type of microscope we use in lab? | compound light microscope |
| total magnification equals? | objective lens X(times) ocular lens |
| pathway of light on microscope | condenser lens to> objective lens to> ocular lens |
| resolution | -ability to show detail -shortest distance between two separate dots that can be "seen" as two discrete objects |
| working distance (of a lens) | -distance between the lens and microscope slide |
| light microscope max ___________ (#) | .2μm -i.e. any 2 dots closer than .2μm will be seen as one dot |
| 1 μm =_______(m) | 1 μm =10^(-6) m |
| 1 nm = _______(m) | 1 nm = 10^(-9) m |
| electron microscope max ________ (#) | .5nm |
| 1 μm =_______(nm) | 1000nm |
| smaller magnification value equals ________ resolution | lower |
| Indicate what about the following factors are useful:1. wave length 2. color of light 3.beam vs. light | 1. wave length: shorter wavelength the better the resolution 2. blue light is better than white light 3. electron beam is better than visible light |
| What collects and directs the light from the lamp to the slide being studied? | condenser |
| What moves up and down as you turn the main knob? | mechanic stage |
| There are three or more of these on a microscope Each one contains a different magnification Changes from low to> high power | objective lens |
| What do you look through to view the image on the microscope (its where you put your eyes and fixed at 10x) | ocular lens |
| microbiology | the study of microorganisms |
| most widely used specimen is darker than surrounding field | Bright-field |
| brightly illuminated specimens surrounded by | dark-field |
| transforms subtle changes in light waves passing through the specimen into differences in light intensity, best for observing structure intracellular certain light can lead and certain light added | phase-contrast |
| fluorescence microscope | -modified compound light microscope -very useful in medical diagnosis and cell biology Features: 1. dark background 2. dye binds specimen 3. emitted visible light magnified needs filter protect viewers eye 4. dye UV rays |
| electron microscope | -uses electron beam to form image rather than light rays -electrons travel wavelike pattern -wavelength is 100,000x shorter than the waves of visible light -electrons have tremendous resolving power and magnifying power |
| electron microscope: 1. resolving power 2. magnifying power | 1. 0.5 nm (vs. 0.2μm for light microscope) 2. 1,000,000x (vs. 1000x for light microscope) |
| eucaryotic cells | -bigger -has a nucleus -more complex |
| procaryotic cell | -simple cell -DNA is in cytosol -bacteria and archaea -unicellular |
| List 4 eucaryotic cells | 1. Algae 2. Protoxoa 3. Fungi (molds, yeasts, mushrooms, etc.) 4. helminths (tapeworms, flukes, nematodes, etc.) |
| algae and protozoa make up what group? and live in_________ and ___________ cellular | 1. protists 2. aquatic environment 3. unicellular |
| list 2 types of procaryotes | 1. Bacteria (such as E. coli) 2. Archaea (ancient "bacteria" such as methanogens) |
| yeast | -much bigger -eucaryote -fungi (category) -unicellular |
| amoeba | -cytoplasm proteins needle like or worm rounded -protozoa (category) -pseudopods help move around and eat food particles |
| E. coli | -round shaped bacteria |
| herpes simplex (EM) | -membrane takes from your cell takes pieces of cell membrane -virus |
| ascaris | -most common infection worm -nervous function different from other functions -adult bad |
| algae | reproduce, swim, survive |
| Size important in general | Eucaryotes > Procaryotes > Viruses > macromolecules > simple molecules |
| a system for organizing and classifying names | taxonomy |
| primary concerns of taxonomy are (3)_______ | 1. classification 2. nomenclature 3. identification |
| What is the most significant level of classification? | species |
| levels of classification | 1.Domain 2.Kingdom 3.Phylum or Division 4.Class 5.Order 6.Family 7.Genus 8.Species |
| Whittaker classification vs. Dr. Woese | Whittaker: 5-Kingdom classification System Woese: Domain>Kingdom>archaea more closly related then bacteria |
| true bacteria such as E. coli staphylococus aureus | eubacteria |
| eubacteria characteristic about cell wall | -cell wall macromolecules, peptidoglycan is only found in bacteria |
| archaea | odd "bacteria" that live in extreme environments, high salt, heat, etc. [such as methanology halobacteria] |
| have a nucleus and organelles such as molds, amoeba, algae | eukarya |
| Every time you name an organism what do you use? | Genus and Species -Genus named first and first letter capitalize -Species named second both italized |
| What does "sterile" mean? | "sterile" was introduced which meant completely eliminating all life forms from objects or materials, including endospores |
| Who identified spores? | John Tyndall and Ferdinand Cohn |
| disease-causing microorganisms | pathogens |
| Germ Theory of Disease | -many (infections) diseases are caused by the growth of microbes in the body and not by sins, bad character, or poverty, etc. |
| Who is associated with the Listerine method? | Joseph Lister |
| Who am I? -demonstrated what is now known as Germ Theory of Disease | Louis Pasteur |
| Who am I? -showed microbes caused fermentation | Louis Pasteur |
| Who am I? -identified cause of anthrax, TB, and cholera | Robert Koch |
| Who am I? -developed pasteurization | Louis Pasteur |
| Who am I? -established Koch's postulates | Robert Koch |
| Who am I? -disproved spontaneous generation of microorganisms | Louis Pasteur |
| Who am I? -developed pure culture methods | Robert Koch |
| Who am I? -developed a rabies vaccine | Louis Pasteur |
| methanococcus jannaschii | not bacteria rather it is archaea mold filamentous fungi |
| numerical aperture (NA) | can effect resolution mathematical expression showing efficiency of lens gathering light Na: 1.25 better than .1 Na=nsinθ (n-1, sinθ-shape of light come) the greater the angle the shorter the working distance the greater the NA value |
| Who introduced the aseptic technique? | Joseph Lister |
| microorganisms | organisims to small to see with the naked eye |
| mold | filimentus fungi |
| Can you increase resolution by increasing the n value in NA formula (NA=nsinθ) | yes Ex: increase n by using immersion oil n=1.5 [100x objective lens only] |
| What is definition of life? | distinguished by capacity to grow, metabolize, respond (to stimuli), adapt and reproduce |
| What is disinfecting the hands using chemicals prior to surgery and the use of heat for sterilization to prevent wound infections called? | aseptic technique |
