History
What is Abiogenesis?
This is a flowchart that aids in identifying unknown bacteria, based off of results of tests performed and yes/no questions
What is a dichotomous key?
This flagella arrangement is categorized by having structures extending from all over the cell
What is Peritrichous?
This arrangement of comes from round bacteria that collect in chains
What is streptococci?
This complex polysaccharide is used as culture media and derived from sea kelp
What is Agar?
This scientist created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax and developed a food preservation technique commonly used today
Who is Louis Pasteur?
This classification system is based on rRNA sequencing
What is the Woese-Fox Classification?
What takes on color during a gram stain and can also be known as peptidoglycan
What is a cell well?
This is the machinery that translates mRNA into protein
What are Ribosomes?
What is binary fission?
Who is Robert Hooke?
This system places plants, animals, and fungi in equally related groups, with protists and monera as the foundation
What is the Whittaker System of Taxonomy?
Provides structure of flagella and contributes to the undulation motion
What is tubulin protein?
These bacterial types have a thick layer of peptidoglycan and contain teichoic acids
What are Gram-Positive Bacterial Cell Walls?
This type of plate distinguishes one microorganism from another, while growing on the same media
What is Differential?
This person introduced the beginning of what would evolve into modern aseptic surgical technique
Who is Joseph Lister?
This is the way a bacterial colony appears on a plate
What is colony morphology?
Have a thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer layer of phospholipids, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides
What are Gram-Negative Bacterial cells wells?
Also known as a 'slime layer,' this formation of polysaccharide fibers functions to protect and attach the cell
What is a Glycocalyx?
This requirement determines how long growth can proceed
What is a limiting nutrient?
This disease helped recognize that transfer of microbes could lead to death post surgery/procedure if safety measures are not taken
What is puerperal fever?
Circular DNA found in cytoplasm, which can be shared cell-to-cell via touching or pili
What are plasmids?
These are unique structures produced by some bacteria that are defensive strategies against unfavorable conditions
What are endospores?
This type of cell finds O2 deadly due to the irreparable damage cause by oxidation
What are obligate anaerobes?
This scientist developed techniques for simple staining, use of Petri dishes, use of steam to sterilize, and a set of postulates for isolating pathogens
Who is Robert Koch?
