🗑
Food industry applications of microorganisms....   show
🗑
Pathogenic   show
🗑
show the first name used in scientific nomenclature assigned to each organism. It is always capitalized.  
🗑
Specific epithet (species)   show
🗑
Staphlo-   show
🗑
coccus   show
🗑
aureus   show
🗑
Escherichia coli is named after   show
🗑
show relatively simple, single-celled (unicellular) organisms. Cell wall contains a protein-carbohydrate complex called peptidoglycan; their genetic material is not enclosed in a special nuclear membrane.  
🗑
Prokaryotes   show
🗑
show appendages that allow many bacteria to "swim"  
🗑
show Consist of prokaryotic cells, if they have cell walls, the walls lack peptidoglycan; found in extreme environments. Consist of Methanogens, Halophiles, and Thermophiles  
🗑
show one of three archaea that live in extreme environments; they produce methane as a waste product from respiration. Not known to cause disease in humans.  
🗑
Extreme halophiles halo = salt; philic = loving   show
🗑
Extreme thermophiles therm = heat   show
🗑
show eukaryotic (contain distinct nucleus containing DNA), surrounded by nuclear membrane. May be unicellular or multicellular. Cell walls are composed primarily of chitin; can reproduce sexually or asexually.  
🗑
show unicellular eukaryotic microbes; reproduce sexually or asexually  
🗑
show photosynthetic eukaryotes with a wide variety of shapes and both sexual and asexual reproductive forms.  
🗑
Viruses   show
🗑
show parasitic worms (flatworms and roundworms); during some stage in their life cycle, they are microscopic in size.  
🗑
show all living things are composed of cells  
🗑
show a belief that some forms of life could arise spontaneously from nonliving matter  
🗑
show spontaneous generation; using a controlled experiment.  
🗑
show the claim that living cells can arise only from preexisting living cells  
🗑
show technique that prevents contamination by unwanted microorganisms  
🗑
show microorganisms called yeasts convert sugars to alcohol in the absence of air; discovered by Pasteur  
🗑
show the process of heating solution enough to kill most of the bacteria that causes spoilage and disease  
🗑
show the theory that microorganisms might cause disease  
🗑
Koch’s postulates   show
🗑
show protection from disease provided by vaccination or previous infection  
🗑
Chemotherapy   show
🗑
Antibiotics   show
🗑
show chemotherapeutic agents prepared from chemicals in the laboratory  
🗑
show the study of bacteria; includes Gram Positive (Staph, Strep, Bacillus,) Gram neg (E.coli, Salmonella,) Mycobacteria (TB and leprosy,) Spirochetes (Syphilis, Lyme disease,) and others (Rickettsia, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma)  
🗑
show the study of fungi; includes the study of Fungi, Yeast (single cell), and Multi-cellular (mushrooms and molds.) Used in medicine, agricultural, and ecological branches.  
🗑
Parasitology   show
🗑
show the study of viruses; Includes Acellular, DNA Viruses (Herpes, Pox viruses,) RNA Viruses (Polio, rabies, influenza,) and Prions (Mad Cow disease)  
🗑
Genomics   show
🗑
Immunology   show
🗑
show a form of artificial DNA that is created by combining sequences that would not normally occur together through the process of gene splicing; it can be used to mass produce desired proteins.  
🗑
show studies the mechanisms by which microorganisms inherit traits  
🗑
Microbial biology   show
🗑
show the process of using microbes to clean up pollutants and toxic wastes produced by various industrial processes.  
🗑
show the practical application of using microorganisms commercial to produce common foods and chemicals  
🗑
show inserting a missing gene or replacing a defective one in human cells  
🗑
show normal flora, cause no harm and in some cases can be beneficial  
🗑
show emerging infectious diseases; examples include: bird flu ('05), monkeypox ('03), SARS ('03), West Nile Fever ('01), Mad Cow Disease('96, Ebola (95),...HIV-AIDS ('78-'79)  
🗑
show Koch's postulates  
🗑
show a gelatinous substance derived from a polysaccharide that accumulates in the cell walls of agarophyte red algae  
🗑
show a polysaccharide found in the outer skeleton of insects, crabs, shrimps, and lobsters  
🗑
show the process in which genes are transferred from one bacterium to another as "naked" DNA solution.  
🗑
What are Biofilms   show
🗑
5 Disciplines of Microbiology   show
🗑
