- Bacterial growth depends on many environmental factors, including the temperature of the environment. Since microbes can survive in a certain range of temperatures and will thrive at a temperature, understanding these variables allows for control of their growth. This understanding can be used, for example, to preserve certain foods or to treat infections. This lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution a) In your own words give an introduction to the microbial growth and the effect tempature has. b) In your own words explain the importance of the spectrophotometer in regards to microbial growth. c) In your own words give a hypothesis on how bacteria will react to different temperatures.arrow_forwardA potato cube is placed in a solution. The volume of the potato increases. which statement below is the correct interpretation of this result? a) The potato is in an isotonic solution b) The potato is is in a hypotonic solution c) water is moving equally in and out of the potato d) The potato is in a hypertonic solutionarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about endospores? O 1) Spores are resistant to heat, radiation, cold, and dessication. O 2) One endospore germinates into one vegetative cell. O 3) They are a method of reproduction for bacterial cells when growth conditions are inhospitable. O 4) Endospores are clinically significant in causing disease. O 5) The endospore has a thick spore coat that protects it.arrow_forward
- In microbiology, the term growth in a culture usually refers to an increase in O 1) the number and size of microbial cells. O 2) the amount of ATP consumed. O 3) a microbe's size. O 4) the number of microbial cells. 5) the amount of ATP produced.arrow_forwardIn a biological production process, bacteria with spore-forming ability are immobilized on a support surface. Once a batch of production is done, these cells along with their support material are separated from the medium, and then sterilization is performed in a furnace for safe disposal of material into the environment. An important issue here is to ensure ALL bacteria, including any spores that may form and those that are located at the center of the spherical support material, are killed with heat. For this purpose, the temperature at the center of the spherical support material must reach the designated killing temperature. The support material is a sphere with 3 cm diameter and a heat capacity of 4.0 kJ/kg*K, a density of 800 kg/m³, a thermal conductivity of 0.7 W/m*K. The heat transfer coefficient of the surrounding air is 14 W/m2*K. If the initial temperature inside the furnace prior to the start of sterilization is 15 °C, how long should the procedure last to obtain sterile…arrow_forwardIn the diagram below, identify the structures of a cyanobacterial cell based on the following descriptions: a) Outer cellular covering which includes: Mucilaginous layer – outermost layer covering the cell wall; protects the cell from harmful factors of the environment Cell wall – found just below the mucilaginous layer; 2 or 3-layered, the inner layer lies in between the outer wall layer and plasma membrane; the outer layer is made of peptidoglycan Innermost plasma membrane – selectively permeable membrane enclosing the cytoplasm b) Cytoplasm – found below the plasma membrane; the protoplasm which contains structures of different shapes and functions. Lamellae, which contain pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenes, xanthophylls, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, are located in the peripheral region of cytoplasm. Ribosomes may also be found scattered in the cytoplasm. c) Nucleic material – the nucleoplasm that is centrally located in the cell and contains chromatin in the form…arrow_forward
- Biofilms represent an important environmental niche. A) How does growth on a surface differ from growth in a suspended laboratory culture? (In other words: How do biofilm-forming cultures differ from planktonic cultures) B) Describe the stages of biofilm development including cellular and extracellular components? C) What processes regulate might regulate biofilm formation? Is quorum sensing involved and if so, how common is it? D) Why would biofilms promote the formation of genetic variants? What are the mechanisms by which this might occur? These questions are all related.arrow_forwardIn August 2021, there was a multi-state outbreak of melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, thought to arise from imported products. Burkholderia pseudomallei can be grown in culture. In terms of human health, why might it be critical to grow a pure culture of bacteria?arrow_forwardBacterial growth depends on many environmental factors, including the temperature of the environment. Since microbes can survive in a certain range of temperatures and will thrive at a temperature, understanding these variables allows for control of their growth. This understanding can be used, for example, to preserve certain foods or to treat infections. This lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution. Microbial populations grow at different rates based on temperature. One way to measure growth is by turbidity measurements. When bacteria multiply in a broth culture they turn the clear solution cloudy, or turbid. a) in your own words explain the proper steps to Inoculate 5°C sterile broth tube using aseptic techniquearrow_forward
- In the exponential phase of microbial growth, Log cell numbers Time O a) net cell growth is equal to net cell death. Ob) net cell growth is greater than net cell death. c) waste accumulates, cell death is greater than cell growth. d) the cells stop growing.arrow_forwardDiseases that involve biofilm-producing bacteria are of serious concern. They are not as easily treated compared with those involving free-floating (or planktonic) bacteria. Explain three reasons why biofilms can be more pathogenic.arrow_forwardYou perform a Gram staining technique on two bacterial species and observe that one is stained purple while the other is stained pink. Which of the following is consistent with this observation? a) The purple one is likely more resistant to penicillin b) Both bacteria have a cell wall made of mycolic acid c) Their peptidoglycan layers have the same thickness d) They differ in the number of phospholipid membranes e) One has a monolayer of phospholipids while the other has a bilayer of phospholipidsarrow_forward
