Kulang san sa igbaw Flashcards
: bacteria which uses organic compound as carbon source and lack
the ability to fix carbon dioxide
Heterotrophs
: bacteria that can grow at below 0°C to 20°C but the optimum
temperature of growth is 15°C or below. It contains polyunsaturated fatty acids in
their cell membrane which allows it to not freeze even at lower temperature
hence it is a common contaminant in refrigerators
Psychrophiles
bacteria that can grow even
between 0°C to 30°C but optimum temperature for growth is 20-30°C.
Psychrotrophs (facultative psychrophiles)
: bacteria that can grow best between 25-40°C and optimum
temperature for growth is 37°C.
Mesophiles
bacteria that best grow above 45°C, contains saturated fattyacids
in their cell membrane so their cell membrane does not become too fluid even at
higher temperature, can survive pasteurization temperature.
Thermophiles
Type of thermopiles
a. facultative thermophiles
b. obligate thermophiles
: capable of growing in mesophilic range
facultative thermophiles
: true thermophiles or Stenothermophiles
obligate thermophiles
bacteria that have optimum temperature of growth above
80°C.
Hypethermophiles
: bacteria that grows best at acidic pH
Acidophiles
: bacteria that grows best at alkaline pH
Alkaliphiles
: bacteria that grows best at neutral pH (6.5-7.5)
Neutrophiles
: bacteria that require high concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) for
growth
Halophiles
: bacteria that does not require NaCl but can tolerate low
concentration of NaCl in growth media
Halotolerant
: bacteria that requires and cannot grow in the absence of
oxygen
Obligate aerobes
