Chapter 1 Micro.

Micro

QuestionAnswer
What did Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek do? Began making small microscopes made one for each specimen
By the end of the 19th century what happened? The organisms known as(beasties) became known as microorganism; today known as microbes.
What did Carlous Linnaeus do? He made the taxonomic system for grouping similar organisms together
What are the six categories did Leeuwenhoek put his Microorganisms in? Bacteria,Archera,Fungi, Algae,Protozoa: Viruses or multicellular animals.(All can be eukaryotes)
What are Eukaryotes? are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus, compose an genetic material surrounded by a distant membrane.
What are prokaryotes? are unicellular microbes that lack a true nucleus.
What does Bacteria have? Unicellular and lack a nucleus, there smaller then eukaryotes , some cause diseases and some lack cell wall. Cell wall contain peptidoglycan.
What does Archera have? they are single prokaryotes whose cell walls lack peptidoglycan and instead are composed of other polymers.
What does Fungi have? are relatively large microscopic eukaryotes and include multicellular molds and single-celled yeasts. These organisms obtain their food from other organisms and have cell walls.
What does Protozoa have? are single-celled eukaryotes that are similar to animals in their nutritional needs and cellular structure. Most are capable of locomotion, and some cause disease.
What does Algae have? are plantlike eukaryotes that are photosynthetic; that is, they make their own food from carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight. The algae include multicellular and unicellular organisms.
What does viruses have? are microbes so small that they were hidden from microbiologists until the invention of the electron microscope in 1932. All are acellular obligatory parasites.
What is Spontaneous Generation? proposes that living organisms can arise from nonliving matter
What is the history on spontaneous generation? it was proposed by Aristotle and was widley excepted for over 2000 years,until experiments by Francesco Redi, British scientist John T. Needham (1713–1781) conducted experiments suggesting that perhaps spontaneous generation of microscopic life was indeed
The debate over spontaneous generation led in part to the development of a generalized,, scientific method
he mid-19th century also saw the birth of the field of industrial microbiology (or biotechnology), in which microbes are intentionally manipulated to manufacture products.
Pasteur’s investigations into the cause of fermentation led to the discovery.. that yeast can grow with or without oxygen, and that bacteria ferment grape juice to produce acids, whereas yeast cells ferment grape juice to produce alcohol. These discoveries suggested a method to prevent the spoilage of wine by heating the grape juice
What is Pasteurization? the use of heat to kill pathogens and reduce the number of spoilage microorganisms in food and beverages,
In 1897, experiments by the German scientist Eduard Buchner (1860–1917) demonstrated.. the presence of enzymes, cell-produced proteins that promote chemical reactions such as fermentation.
Edwurd work began ? the field of biochemistry and the study of metabolism, a term that refers to the sum of all chemical reactions in an organism.
Pasteur’s discovery that bacteria are responsible for spoiling wine led to his hypothesis in 1857 that microorganisms are also responsible for diseases, an idea that came to be known as the germ theory of disease
Microorganisms that cause specific diseases are called pathogens ( Today we know that diseases are also caused by genetics, environmental toxins, and allergic reactions; thus, the germ theory applies only to infectious disease)
the study of the causation of disease, etiology
He and his colleagues were responsible for developing techniques to isolate bacteria, stain cells, estimate population size, sterilize growth media, and transfer bacteria between media. They also achieved the first photomicrograph of bacteria Koch
Koch greatest achievement was the elaboration, in his publications on tuberculosis, of a set of steps that must be taken to prove the cause of any infectious disease.
Koch’s postulates: The suspected causative agent must be found in every case of the disease and be absent from healthy hosts,The agent must be isolated and grown outside the host,When the agent is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host, the host must get the disease,Th
In 1884, Danish scientist Christian Gram (1853–1938) developed a staining technique involv- ing application of a series of dyes that leave some microbes purple and others pink. The Gram stain
noticed that women whose births were attended by medical students died at a rate 20 times higher than those whose births were attended by midwives in an adjoining wing of the same hospital Ignaz Semmelweis
advanced the idea of anti- sepsis in health care settings, reducing deaths among his patients by two-thirds with the use of phenol Joseph Lister
the founder of modern nursing, introduced antiseptic techniques that saved the lives of innumerable soldiers during the Crimean War of 1854–1856 Florence Nightingale
the study of the occurrence, distribution, and spread of disease in humans. infection control and epidemiology
immunology the study of the body’s specific defenses against pathogens
English physician Edward Jenner showed that vaccination with pus collected from cowpox lesions prevented smallpox. Pasteur later capitalized on Jenner’s work to develop successful vaccines against fowl cholera, anthrax, and rabies.
The field of chemotherapy is a branch of medical microbiology in which chemicals are studied for their potential to destroy pathogenic microorganisms
Biochemistry is the study of metabolism.
extra It began with Pasteur’s work on fermentation and Buchner’s discovery of enzymes, but was greatly advanced by the proposition of microbiolo- gists Albert Kluyver (1888–1956) and C. B. van Niel (1897–1985) that biochemical reactions are
extra are shared by all living things, are few in number, and involve the transfer of electrons and hy- drogen ions.
Microbial genetics is the study of inheritance in microorganisms.
Molecular biology combines aspects of biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics to explain cell function at the molecular level. It is particularly concerned with genome sequencing.
Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes in microbes, plants, and animals for practical applications, such as the development of pest-resistant crops and the treatment of disease.
Gene Therapy is the use of recombinant DNA (DNA composed of genes from more than one organism) to insert a missing gene or repair a defective gene in human cells.
Environmental microbiology studies the role microorganisms play in their natural environ- ment. Microbial communities play an essential role, for example, in the decay of dead organ- isms and the recycling of chemicals such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.
Serology is the study of blood serum, the liquid that remains after blood coagulates and that carries disease-fighting chemicals.
