Microbial Growth
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| when bacteria dan replicates it | replicates the chromosome in opposite directions until the terminus us reached |
| microbes are this type of repoductive organism | asexual |
| how do they have genetiv recombination | horizontal gene transfer |
| their chromosomes are | single circular chromosomes |
| most common for of bacteral reproductions is | binary fission |
| four steps of binary fission | growth of cell size, replicate DNA, cell division, daughter cell seperate |
| cytokenisis is directed by | FtsZ protein |
| ftsz protien divides cell by | creating a z ring to form divisiome, divisiome activates cell wall of peptidoglycan and septum |
| cell wall is made of | peptidoglycan and septum |
| the z ring is anchored by | binding protiens |
| during cell division, enzymes | break monomers of cell walls and allow addition of new subunits |
| the amount of time bacteria takes to reproduce is referred to as | generation time, or double time |
| generation time, or double time | is the amount of time it takes the population to double in size |
| eukaryotes, human cells take | 25 years for generation time |
| e.coli takes this amount of time to reproduce | 20 mins |
| leoprsy takes this many days to double | 14 days |
| tuberculosis takes ____ to double | 15-20 hrs. |
| the formula to predict any population is | Nn=N02n |
| culture density | the number of cells divided by unit volume |
| closed cultures have | finite resources |
| growth curve in closed cultures | lag phase, log phase, stationary phase, and death phase |
| lag phase | inoculum cells added and adjust to culture medium, no change in population |
| log phase | binary fission occures, cell replication is greater than cell death |
| stationary phase | resources become depleted cell replication equals cell death |
| death phase | endospores can form cell replication is less than cell death |
