(20 cards)
type of microorganisms
bacteria, alagae, protozoa, helminths and fungi
branch dealing with diseases in humans and animals
medical microbiology
microbial spread and control in communities
public health microbiology and epidemiology
substances and cells produced in response to infection
immunology
branch safeguards our food, water and biotechnology
industrial microbiology
microbes interacting with plants and animals
agricultural microbiology
microbes on earths diverse habitats
environmental microbiology
description of prokaryotic cell
ten times smaller, all microorganisms, single celled, lack organelles
single, circular chromosomes
70s ribosomes, no nucleus
description of eukaryotic cell
ten times larger, only some are microorganisms, contains organelles, single cell and multi celled
many, linear chromosomes
80s ribosomes, nucleus
created first microscope, earliest records of microbes, used household objects, plants, and animals
described cellular structure, use single lens microscope
robert hooke
made microscopes with 300x magnification
father of bacteriology and protozoology
observations over scrapings on teeth
Antoine Van Leeuwenhoek
found “scissors” inside bacteria known as enzymes
described by saying enzymes cut up DNA, can be harvested in labs
Nathans, Arber, and Smith
invented polymerase chain reaction
take tiny amount of DNA and amplify for quantities able to study
Kary Mullis
invented pasteurization,
discovered germ theory which was human diseases arise from infections
Louis Pasteur
culture growing, kock postulates
robert koch
Scientific/ binomial name how is it written
in italics or underlined, genus name then species name
genus name is capitalized
name the taxonomic hierarchy
domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
what are the three domains of life
bacteria and archea (pro) and Eukarya
deductive reasoning
using general principles to explain specific observations
inductive reasoning
discovering general principles by examination of specific cases
