| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| prokaryotic | single cell, no nucleus or membrane bound organelles |
| eukaryotic | multicellular, nucleus present and has membrane bound organelles |
| pathogen | disease causing |
| asexual reproduction | one parent only, produces identical offspring |
| binary fission | asexual reproduction in bacteria. chromosome replicates, cell elongates, chromosomes move to either end, cell splits into two identical daughter cells |
| endospore | tough wall spore that is capable of surviving harsh conditions |
| autotrophic | bacteria that make their own food |
| heterotrophic | bacteria that get food from outside themselves |
| antibiotic | A chemical substance produced by one microorganism to prevent the growth of another microorganism |
| bioprocessing | Bioprocessing is when Enzyme-controlled reactions are used to produce products such as yoghurts, cheeses, artificial sweeteners, vitamins and alcohol products |
| bioreacter | A vessel in which biological reactions take place |
| batch culture | A fixed amount of nutrient and bacteria are placed in a bioreactor in the beginning |
| continuous flow culture | Nutrients are constantly added to the bioreactor throughout processing and products are constantly removed |
| the lag phase | bacteria is adapting, little multiplication |
| the log phase | plenty of nutrients, oxygen and space - multiply rapidly |
| the stationary phase | death and production rates are equal, number of live bacteria remains constant |
| the decline phase | death rate is increasing, lack of nutrients, oxygen and space |
| the survival phase | only some bacteria survive |
| saprophytic bacteria | feeds on dead and decaying matter |
