do a bit of research to find a microbe that also has odd growth requirements (i.e. it can break down odd substances in order to meet its nutritional needs). Tell us what the microbe uses, how it accesses these nutrients (special enzymes, does it get help from other organisms, etc), as well as the potential utility of microbe to aid in Earth or human health.

2) You contract an infection from an unknown pathogenic organism. Your doctor conducts a biochemical analysis of the pathogen and discovers that it contains chitin. The pathogen is most likely a   Group of answer choices bacterium susceptible to antibiotics protist fungus bacterium resistant to antibiotics tapeworm

What microbial structures are the most resilient forms of life?   Bacterial endospores Enveloped viruses Fungal spores Gram-positive bacteria

We use salting and freezing to preserve our food against bacteria. Explain why is food preserved this way? Be specific for each method.

Micro-organisms can be found in almost any environment and on many objects. Name two objects or products you use that likely contain micro-organisms. Why do you think they do?

Refrigerated milk can spoil due to microbial growth. Do these microbes typically cause disease in humans? Consider the environment in your body and the environment in which the microbes are growing.

Growth medium: You are running different experiments on microbes and need to make sure you choose the correct medium. Need to growa wide range of bacteria and fungi from the environment [ Choose ] [Choose ] Need to select for the growth of fungi Sabouraud-Dextrose Agar (SDA) (yeasts & molds) MacConkey Agar (Mac) Need to grow fastidious baterial pathogens SCC Agar (SCCA) of humans MSA Need to differentiate bacteria based on Tryptic Soy (TS broth or TSA) hemolysis O'Dougals Agar (ODA) Blood Agar (BA) Need to select for salt tolerant bacteria Sacto Agar (SA) EMB Need to select for members of genus TChoose ] Staphylococcus_ in pus from an abscess Need to şelect for members of bacterial [ Choose ] family Enterbacteriaceae. e.g E.coli, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia, Klebsiella, Proteus Need to differentiate between lactose [ Choose ] fermenting and non-lactose ferementing enterics

You are studying the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria. You have isolated the components of their cell walls and run a chemical analysis of what you have isolated. What component listed below would be toxic to eukaryotic cells such as human cells? the peptidoglycan NAG the protein the lignin the cellulose the lipopolysaccharides

An endospore is a part of certain types of bacteria. What does an endospore do for a cell - there may be more than one answer to this one.       Acts as a seed or  hibernating thing so that the bacteria can wait for better conditions.     Makes the cell less infectious.     Allows the bacteria to survive dry conditions.     Allows the bacteria to survive high temperatures.
