What are microorganisms?
organisms that you can’t see with the unaided eye (< 0.1 mm) mainly single cell organisms (no differentatiion of cells)
• viruses are not microorganisms
yeast, algae and fungi are miros, but are eukarytes cells.
Hvilket gen er fyloginien baseret på hos prokaryote og hvilket er hos eukayoter?
16S rRNA prokaryote
18S rRna eukayoter
How differs prokaryotes and eukaryotes whit there nucleus whit cell membrane?
Eukaryotes have, Pro dos not.
How many chromosomes does prokaryotes and eukaryotes have?
prokaryotes 1 and eukaryotes 2 or more
Does prokaryotes and eukaryotes have mitosis?
Prokaryotes don’t and eukaryotes does.
Does prokaryotes and eukaryotes have secual reproduction:
prokaryotes Rare: only part of the genome involed, and eukaryotes gommen ; all chromosomes involved .
Does prokaryotes and eukaryotes have meiosis:
Prokaryotes no and eukaryotes yes
What is the advantage of being small?
Microbes process their nutrients 10 to 1000 times faster per gram than mammalian cells. High surface to volume ratio allows quick chemical exchange.
Hvad er nitrification?
NH4+ (ammonium) –> NO3 - nitrat
Hvad er denitrifikation?
NO3- (nitrat) –> N2 (kvælstof)
Hvad er N2 fiksation?
N2 + 8H+ –> NH3 (ammoniak) + H2
Hvilket bakterier laver N2 fikation aerobt?
Cyanobakterier og azotobacter
Hvilke bakterier laver N2 fikation anaerobt?
Clostridium
Hvad er Ammonifikation?
Org-N –> NH4 (ammonium)
Hvad er anamox?
NO2- + NH3 –> 2N
Hvilke bakterier laver anamox?
Brocodia
What are sterilization and withs methods do you know?
killing of all living cells and all spores
• not all methods are 100% effective -> reduction of germs (backteriea)
depending on material that needs to be sterilized different methods are used: o heat sterilization o Pasteurization o irradiation sterilization o sterile filtration o chemical sterilization
which heat sterilizations do you now?
Cooking
(100 °C for 15 min)
kills living cells but not all spores
Moist heat and pressure
(autoclave, 121 °C, 15 psi for 15 min) kills living cells and spores
Dry heat
(160-180 °C for 2-4 hours) kills living cells and spore
What are pasteurization? And how many microbial cells does it kill?
reduces microbial cells by 79-99%
- historical method: 63-66 °C for 30 min –
- modern method: 72 °C for 15 sek
What is Irradiation?
high energy radiation destroys cell components, especially DNA -> spores are quite tolerant to radiation
– UV radiation (approx. 260 nm)
– ionizing radiation (Gamma- and X-rays, < 10 nm)
how big is a sterile filter and why?
Bacterial and archaeal cells normally have a size of 0.5-1 μm
Membrane and nucleopore filters have pore sizes of 0.2 μm and stop nearly 100% of all cells
What is chemical sterilization?
many chemicals can kill prokaryotic microorganisms
organic compounds: e.g. ethanol, phenol, formaldehyde
halogens: e.g. iodine solution, chlorine bleach
heavy metals: e.g. mercuric chloride, silver nitrate
others: e.g. hydrogen peroxide, ozone
how many % of cell cell wight is water?
75 %
What is the cytoplasmic mebranes main function?
Permeability barrier
Protein anchor (anker)
Energy conservation
