LESSON 6,7 BACTERIAL CLASSIFICATION AND STRUCTURE Flashcards
(97 cards)
-bacteria which gain energy from light.
PHOTOTROPHS
-bacteria uses
1.REDUCED INORGANIC COMPOUND as electron source.
ex. H2S
PHOTOLITHOTROPS
-bacteria uses
1.ORGANIC COMPOUND as electron source
ex. SUCCINATE
PHOTOORGANOTROPHS
-bacteria that gain energy from
1.CHEMICAL COMPOUND
2.cannot CARRY OUT PHOTOSYNTHESIS
as electron source
CHEMOTROPHS
-bacteria gain energy from : OXIDATION OF CHEMICAL COMPOUND & REDUCES INORGANIC COMPOUND
as electron source
ex. NH3
CHEMOLITHOTROPS
-bacteria gain energy from CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS &
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
ex. GLUCOSE & AMINO ACIDS
CHEMOORGANOTROPS
-bacteria that are NON-PATHOGENIC & FREE LIVING BACTERIA
-uses SOLAR ENERGY or CARBON DIOXIDE
AUTOTROPHS
-bacyteria that UTILIZES LIGHT to assimilate carbon dioxide
PHOTOAUTOTROPS
-bacteria that utilizes CHEMICAL ENERGY for assimilation of carbon dioxide.
CHEMOAUTOTROPS
-bacteria that uses ORGANIC COMPOUND AS CARBON SOURCE, but lack the ability to fix carbon dioxide.
HETEROTROPHS
-b. can grow at 0’c to 20’c
-optimum growth is 15’c below
-common contaminants in refrigerator
-contains POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
psychroPHILES
-a FACULTATIVE PSYCHROPHILES
-grow even 0’c to 30’c
-Optimum growth is 20-30’c
psychroTROPHS
-b. can grow between 25-40’c
-Optimum growth is 37’C
MESOPHILES
-this b. are capable og growing on MESOPHILIC RANGE
FACULTATIVE THERMOPHILES
-b. grow above 45’c
-contains SATURATED FATTY ACIDS in thier cell membrane -can survive PASTEURIZATION TEMPERATURE
THERMOPHILES
-true thermophies or stenothermpophile
OBLIGATE THERMOPHILES
-b. that have OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE of growth abpove 80’c
HYPERTHERMOPHILES
-b. grows best at acidic pH
ACIDOPHILES
-b. grows best at ALKALINE pH
ALKALIPHILES
-b. that grows best at neutral pH (6.5 TO 7.5)
NEUTROPHILES
-b. that require HIGH CONCENTRATION of (NaCl) for growth.
HALOPHILES
-b. that DOES NOT require NaCl, but can TOLERATE small concentration of NaCl in growth media.
HALOTOLERANT
-b. that REQUIRES & CANNOT GROW in the absence of oxygen.
OBLIGATE AEROBES
-b. that DO NOT REQUIRE oxygen, but can USE IF AVAILABLE.
FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES
