| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do each temperature range consist of? | Minimum growth rate, optimal growth rate, maximum growth rate. |
| Cold loving | psychrophiles |
| psychrophile range? | -5 to 18 |
| mesophile range | 15-45 |
| Thermophile range | 40-80 |
| are able to grow below 10 but also in mesophilic range are called | Psychrotroph |
| Can grow above 80 C | Hyperthermophiles |
| types of metabolism | aerobic cellular respiration, anaerobic cellular respiration, fermentation |
| what uses O2 as a final e- acceptor in electron transport chain, | aerobic cellular respiration |
| what involves glycolysis, kebbs, and oxidative phosphorylation | aerobic cellular respiration |
| anaerobic cellular respiation includes which processes | glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain, uses molecule other than O2 as final e- acceptor |
| produces acid and sometimes gas products, anaerobic | Fermentation in glycolysis |
| What effect does O2 have | forms free radicals that may harm bacteria |
| What enzymes do bacteria have | superoxide dismutase, and catalase |
| What prevents obligate anaerobes from growing in O2 environments | enzymes that reduce O2 free radicals |
| Obligate Aerobe | Aerobic respiration, uses O2, has protection against toxic O2 |
| Obligate Anaerobe | anaerobic respiration, does not use O2, does not protect against toxic O2 |
| Facultative | all three types of metabolism, uses O2 ~ 20%, does have protection against toxic O2 |
| Aerotolerant | fermentation, does not use O2, has protection against toxic O2 |
| Microaerophile | aerobic respiration, does use oxygen ~2-10%, has some protection against toxic O2 |
| What experiment did we used to test oxygen requirement classes | BHI brain heart infusion agar |
| how well does bacteria grow in aerotolerant vials | equal gradient throughout |
| How well does bacteria grow in facultative vials | higher concentration at top to low concentration on bottom |
| How were BHI tubes inoculated | transferring two drops of bacteria into vials and mixing before being placed in ice and then incubated |
| What does the gas pack chamber include | a pouch that absorbs O2 to create anaerobic condition |
| Growth in aerobic and no growth in anaerobic | O2 class would be obligate aerobe Metabolism used would be aerobic respiration |
| No growth in aerobic and growth in anaerobic | O2 class would be obligate anaerobe Metabolism used would be anaerobic respiration and/or fermentation |
| Growth in aerobic and smaller amount of growth in anaerobic | O2 class would be facultative anaerobe Metabolism used would be aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration and/or fermentation |
| Equal amount of growth in aerobic and anaerobic | O2 class would be aerotolerant Metabolism used would be fermentation |

| Carbohydrate metabolism results in? | decrease in pH or increase in acidity |
| protein/amino acid metabolism results in | increase in pH or increase in basic |
| Phenol red | acidic: yellow neutral: red basic: hot pink or purple |
| Neutral red | acidic: pink neutral: maroon red no basic indicator |
| eosin and methylene blue | acidic: really strong: metallic green strong: pink neutral: maroon basic: none |

| What are all the components in BA | Sheep's blood, Agar, H2O, nutrients |
| Hemolysins that completely breakdown bacteria? what color is seen? | beta hemolysis no color or clear |
| hemolysins that partially breakdown blood? what color doe they produce | alpha hemolysis produce green or brownish color |
| no hemolysins are produced therefore no hemolysis takes place, what color change? | gamma hemolysis, no color change |
