Kill 'em and Leave
Combining steam and pressure, this can be used at home in lieu of an autoclave
What is a pressure cooker
The ability to harm or kill pathogens without damaging the host
What is selective toxicity
This term describes the percentages of guanine and cytosine in the DNA
Produce trophozoites and often cysts
What is a protist
This term describes the need to acquire nutrients from substrates, dead or alive
What is heterotrophic
Used as one of the first disinfectants during surgery, these destroy plasma membranes and denatures proteins
What are Phenols and Phenolics
Often used to treat yeast infections, these cause cell leakage through binding ergosterol
What are Polyenes
While prokaryotic in general structure, evidence points to these being more similar to Eukarya
What are archaea
Determined by specific host attachment sites and cellular factors
What is host range
These are sexual spores that form externally on a pedestal
What are basidiospores
This form of microbial control works by heating water molecules and can kill vegetative cells, but leave behind endospores and has been linked to Trichinosis outbreaks
What is Microwave Radiation
These chemicals inhibit cross-linkage of NAM subunits
What are Beta-Lactam drugs
Often containing red or orange pigment these microorganisms are found in the dead sea
What are extreme halophiles
This cycle creates new viruses within a bacterial cell
What is the lytic cycle
This group's sexual reproduction stages have never been observed and have septated hyphae
What are Deuteromycetes
Used in a lab, this technique is used to determine resistance and susceptibility of microbes and killing agents
Used topically, this chemical works against Gram + and blocks NAG and NAM secretions
What is Bacitracin
Gram negative, these bacteria do not have the ability to synthesize their own ATP
What are Chlamydias
containing about 12,000 known species, this group is responsible for pinworms and threadworms
What are Metazoans
Utilizes both meiosis and mitosis, these account for 1/3 of the types of known
What are Ascomycota
Used along with chlorine, this can be highly reactive
What is ozone
Targeting the replication cycle, these interfere with enzymes
What are Viral Enzyme Inhibitors
These bacteria contain no cell wall and cannot be treated with penicilian
What are Mycoplasmas
One of obtaining genetic material, the envelope and cell membrane fuse, making a vesicle unnecessary
What is membrane fussion
Making up about 1%, these have mycelia that are well developed with aseptate hyphae
What is Division Zygomycota
