specialized Disciplines in Microbiology   geomicrobiologists, marine microbiologists, Medical microbiologists, nurse epidemologists, astrobiologists  
🗑
genetic engineering   manipulating the genes of organisms to make new products  
🗑
bioremediation   using living organisms to remedy sn environmental problem  
🗑
biotechnology   production of foods, drugs, and vaccines using living organisms  
🗑
antonie van leeuwenhoek   first to observe living microbes  
🗑
Discovery of spores and sterilization   john tyndall and ferdinad Cohn  
🗑
Discovery of Aseptic techniques   human body is source of infection. -Dr.oliver Wendall -dr.Ignaz semmelweis -joseph lister  
🗑
traditional whittaker system of classification   5 kingdoms 2 cell types  
🗑
woese-fox system   propose three distinct cell lines -domain bacteria -domain archaea -domain eukarya  
🗑
The six I's   incubation, inoculation, isolation, inspection, information gathering, and identification  
🗑
Specimen collection   sample object of interest anything(body fluids, foods, water, soil, plants, and animals etc.)  
🗑
Inoculation   introduction of a sample into a container of media to produce a culture of observable growth  
🗑
Isolation   -seperating one species from another  
🗑
incubation   under conditions that allow growth  
🗑
Inspection   If a single species is growing in the container, you have a pure culture but if there are multiple species than you have a mixed culture  
🗑
Ways to Identify a Microbe:   -Cell and colony morphology or staining characteristics -DNA sequence -Biochemical tests to determine an organism’s chemical and metabolic characteristics -Immunological tests  
🗑
Chemical composition   synthetic and complex  
🗑
functional type   general purpose, enriched, selctive, differential, anarobic, transport, assay enumeration  
🗑
Physical States of Media   Liquid – broth; does not solidify Semisolid – contains solidifying agent Solid – firm surface for colony formation -Contains solidifying agent  
🗑
Transmission electron microscopes   transmit electrons through the specimen. Darker areas represent thicker, denser parts and lighter areas indicate more transparent, less dense parts.  
🗑
Scanning electron microscopes   provide detailed three-dimensional view. SEM bombards surface of a whole, metal-coated specimen with electrons while scanning back and forth over it.  
🗑
Differential stains   use a primary stain and a counterstain to distinguish cell types or parts (examples: Gram stain, acid-fast stain, and endospore stain)  
🗑
Simple stains   one dye is used; reveals shape, size, and arrangement  
🗑
Acidic dyes   anionic, negatively charged chromophore  
🗑
Nutrient broth   liquid medium containing beef extract and peptone  
🗑
Synthetic   – contains pure organic and inorganic compounds in an exact chemical formula  
🗑
Enriched media   – contains complex organic  
🗑
Complex or nonsynthetic   – contains at least one ingredient that is not chemically definable  
🗑
General purpose media –   grows a broad range of microbes, usually nonsynthetic  
🗑
Selective media   contains one or more agents that inhibit growth of some microbes and encourage growth of the desired microbes  
🗑
Differential media   allows growth of several types of microbes and displays vixible differences among those microbes  
🗑
reducing medium   contains a substance that absorbs oxygen or slows penetration of oxygen into the medium  
🗑
Characteristics of Cells and Life   Basic shape – spherical, cubical, cylindrical Internal content – cytoplasm, surrounded by a membrane DNA chromosome(s), ribosomes, metabolic capabilities  
🗑
Reproduction and heredity   genome composed of DNA packed in chromosomes; produce offspring sexually or asexually

🗑
Lophotrichous   small bunches emerging from the same site  
🗑
Amphitrichous   flagella at both ends of cell  
🗑
Peritrichous   flagella dispersed over surface of cell  
🗑
Fimbriae   Fine, proteinaceous, hairlike bristles emerging from the cell surface  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
