25
Storage granules in bacteria is Composed of
glycogen, sulfur, or polyphosphates
26
Caused by increased osmoic condiions
Single membrane bound vesicles
27
Rapid lose of water causes
the Plasma membrane to pull away from | cell wall which allows the membrane to have a smoother appearance.
28
Cytoplasmic membrane Made of
phospholipids with proteins embedded
29
Cytoplasmic membrane function
It maintains the selecive permeability of the cell ( gate for in and out things)
30
During cell division the chromosome is linked to cell membrane at a site called
mesosomes
31
Semi-rigid structure which gives cell its’ shape
Cell Wall
32
what is the Cell Wall | Funcions ?
Functions to protect the cell from Osmotic pressure and serves as an attachment point for flagella
33
peptidoglycan is only found in the
cell walls of bacteria
34
Cell Wall Contains porin for what?
To transport of low molecular weight substances.
35
What is the diference between gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria?
Gram positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer and no outer lipid membrane, whilst Gram negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer and have an outer lipid membrane
36
have antigenic properies and can be used to identify Gram posiive bacteria by serological tests
Teichoic acids
37
endotoxin in Gram Negative
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
38
Outer membrane of Gram Negative is composed of
phospholipids and lipopolysaccharide
39
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) determines
determines antigenicity (O antigen) and pathogenicity
40
Gram Negative | Consists of an
outer cell membrane and the periplasmic space
41
Periplasmic space in Gram Negative | contains
lipoprotein and peptidoglycan layer
42
✅❌ Fruits and Vegetables have natural micro-flora on their surface and can become contaminated with foodborne pathogens
43
Examples of natural micro-lora on their surface
Bell peppers > Listeria Corn > Enterococcus Garlic > Leuconostoc Cucumber Lactobacillus Grapes > Leuconostoc
44
Examples about Fruits and Vegetables can become contaminated with foodborne pathogens
``` Sprouts > Salmonella Letuce > Listeria monocytogenes Apples > E. coli O157:H7 Cantaloupe > Salmonella Cabbage > Listeria monocytogenes ```
45
Air can contain Molds,viruses and bacteria | Levels in the air depend on:
1. Humidity ( high more Microorganisms) 2. Size and level of dust paricles 3. Temperature (opimum and minimum) 4. Resistance to drying
46
is rich source of microorganisms
Soil
47
Bacteria spore formers
Clostridium, Bacillus
48
fungal spores produced by
Aspergillus
49
(soil speciic)
Enterobacter
50
Water can be contaminated with
Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Vibrio, E. coli
51
Wash water (municipal water) may contain
103 psychrotroph /ml | are known contaminates of dairy product
52
Bacteria that are found in the intesinal tract
E. coli
53
Animal hides, skin & hair contain
Staphylococcus
54
How can Shellish bed contaminaion ?
1. Improperly treated sewage | 2. Pathogens naturally found in waters such as Vibrios
55
life cycle of biofilms
``` 1-reversible atachment 2-Irreversible atachment 3-Early development of biofilm formaion 4-Maturation 5-Dispersion ```
56
Bacterial cells are released from biofilms into the surrounding environment.
Dispersion
57
Maturation the biofilm
the biofilm develops into an organized resistant structure to chemicals and disinfectants.
58
Initial reversible attachment Biofilms formation starts with the
attachment of bacteria to solid surfaces mainly due to van der Waals and electrostaic forces.
59
Irreversible attachment
The biofilm grows through cell division and irreversible atachment with producion of extracellular polymers substance (EPS) .
60
The EPS layer strengthens the structure between bacterial cells and atachment surface.
Early development of biofilm formation
61
what is the Biofilms ?
as a community of bacteria enclosed in a self-produced | exopolysaccharide matrix that adheres to a biotic or abiotic surface.
62
is the physical movement or transfer of harmful | bacteria from one person, object or place to another
Cross contamination
63
Cause miscarriage in pregnant women.
Listeria monocytogenes
64
Thermophilic 🦠bacteria
are those that can grow at high temperatures | which are normally found in hot springs.
65
Psychrotrophic bacteria 🧫
are those that can grow at refrigeraion temperatures and lead to the spoilage of product.
