MICROBIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Flashcards
(21 cards)
It is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself.
Virus
They can be spherical, rod, spiral, lobed, rectangular or irregular in shape that lives in salty pools and at high pressures, salt concentrations or temperatures.
Archaea
They thrive on moisture and reproduce through lightweight spores that travel through the air.
Molds
a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single- celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, & sporozoans.
Protozoa
Are a type of biological cells that are too tiny to be seen by the naked eye, they can cause similar symptoms and are often spread in the same way.
Bacteria
Single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
Yeast
These are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis.
Algae
Single-celled microorganisms with structure similar to bacteria.
Archaea
are found worldwide in soils and on plant surfaces and are especially abundant in sugary mediums such as flowers, nectar and fruits.
Yeast
Known as good/ friendly bateria. It is arod shaped bacteria, used in food industry in producing foods such as yogurt, cheese, and vinegar.
Lactobacillus
have an important role in
the production of alcoholic beverages, (wine making)
Yeast
It is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
Virus
Serves as organic solvents and ammonia oxidation in the
environment
Archaea
It is a type of fungus. These are small organisms that could be black, white, orange, green, or purple and live almost anywhere indoors and outside.
Molds
Serves as a biocatalyst in food and feed, pharmaceutical, textile, detergent and
beverage industries,
Archaea
•Are employed to produce ingredients such as enzymes like amylase used in making bread or citric acid used in soft drinks.
Molds
Play an important role in mineralizing nutrients, making them available for use by plants and other soil organisms.
Protozoa
They can exist as single, microscopic cells; they
can be macroscopic and multicellular; live in colonies; or take on a leafy appearance.
Algae
There are approximately 10 times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body.
Bacteria
Are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen by naked eve
Microorganisms
Application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by microorganisms
Microbial Biotechnology
