| What is a psychrophile? | loves the cold temp-10*C / 50*F close temperature to the refridgeorator food spoilage organism once they enter the body they will die |
| What is a Mesophille? | They like medium temperature 37* C/ 98.6*F they are disease causing Organisms |
| What is a Thermophile? | They like heat 60* C/ 120*F they are used in firmentation of food products |
| What is Pschotophs? | -They like to grow in the cold temperature but don't love the cold -They cause food borne pathogens Once they are placed in the refridgeorator they continue to grow -once they are consumed they continue to grow |
| What is an Acidophile? | -They like the acid conditions -They live in the stomach, vagina -used in food firmention |
| What is an Halophile? | -Love Salt -Some are present on the serface of the human body |
| What is an obligate aerobe? | -Must have oxygen -aerobic respiration -we are obligate aerobes |
| What is an Obligate anerobe? | -No oxygen -oxygen will kill them -gangrene causing organisms -they carry out firmintation reactions |
| What is facultive anerobe? | -they can have oxygen or not have oxygen they don't care -CO2 is okay also |
| What is aerotolerant anerobe? | -they tolerate the oxygen but they don't use it -they are used in firmentation or in anerobic respiration |
| What is an Microaerophile? | -they only need a little bit of oxygen -8/10% oxygen -use a condled jar in order to reduce the oxygen and allow the food source to grow |
| How much times is needed in order to grow the bacteria for lab testing? | 18-24 hours |
| How is microbial growth measured? | -serial dillution -filtration -direct microscopic count -turbidomentric assey |
| What is an colony? | dots on a petry dish each colony is one single bacterium |
| How is tider determined? | colony forming units/per millimeter |
| When is filtration used? | whenever you have a large sample size...ie: lake, pond, waterwell |
| How many hours is needed to allow bacteria to grow when using filtration? | 18-24 hours |
| How big is the sample size for filtration method? | 100 mL |
| How big is the sample size for serial dillution? | 1 mL |
| What is the method used to determine filtration? | pour sample through membrain filter and bacteria will not go through the holes thus lying on the top and growiing |
| When we are counting the sample size what are we counting? living or dead bacteria? | Living only |
| What is direct microscopic count? | use a microscope and a petry dish that has a grid on it. usually you count five squares and multiply. |

| Batch heat is used in what situation? | Mom and Pop businesses where a small amount is heated to 63*C for 30 Minutes |
| When is HTST used? | sometimes it is called "flash" heating where milk is run through tubes at 72* C for 15 seconds |
| When is UHT used? | When milk is run through a celing tube system for 3 seconds at a temperature of 74-140* C it burns the milk but allows it to be placed on the shelves without refridgeoration. Half and Half is pasturized this way. |
| Two other ways to control growth of microbes other than using heat? | Controling PH and The AW |
| What do you need to do to the PH of an item in order to control growth. | Microbes like neutral Ph so making it more acidic makes the microbes less likely to grow |
| What do you need to do to the Aw in order to control growth? | Microbes like water so removing the water makes microbes less likely to grow |
