Just as with most living beings, bacteria require the proper conditions to grow and reproduce. Rarely are bacterial cells found alone; so, you could say they are social beings.
During your examination of the topics in this chapter, consider the following:
Do different bacteria prefer different temperatures?
To determine: Whether the bacterial diversity prefer different temperatures.
Introduction: The ability of the microbes to grow under certain conditions is termed as microbial viability. The microbial growth refers to the increase in the number of cells and colonies. The requirements of cell growth, division, and maintenance are categorized as physical and chemical requirements.
Explanation of Solution
Temperature is a physical requirement of the bacteria. Different types of bacteria prefer different temperatures for growth. Depending on the range of temperature in which the growth of bacteria occurs, they are grouped as mesophiles, thermophiles, and psychrophiles. The mesophiles grow at moderate temperatures, thermophiles are heat-loving microbes, and psychrophiles thrive in cold temperatures.

- We are a product of our genes, so they say; however, we are also populated by microbes. Some we cannot do without, but others wait around until our defenses are down and then they strike. During your examination of the topics in this chapter, consider the following: How do bacteria get around?arrow_forwardMy professor instructed me to make presentation on this topic "Periodontal microbes interaction with FISH". I have to make 4 power point slides regarding this topic. Can you give some information about the topic which i can use in the slides? Also provide some necessary relevant diagram or image regarding the topic. Please answer at your own easy words. If you do so i will rate you positive, Thank you.arrow_forwardI need help with the following question: After graduating from university you decide to celebrate your success with a trip to Thailand during the summer. You rent a moped to visit an archeological site on the outskirts of Bangkok. On the way there you hit a patch of gravel and wipe out, badly scraping your leg. Lurking in the dirt embedded in the scrape on your leg is Burkholderia pseudomallei, a soil bacterium endemic in Southeast Asia but not present in North America. Describe the cellular and molecular processes necessary for the activation of a primary adaptive immune response and the effector mechanisms produced to clear the infection. Be specific in terms of receptors and effector molecules specific to the type of pathogen.arrow_forward
- Provide evidence in supporting or refuting the following statement: The cell, or cytoplasmic membrane, is a nonessential structure in bacteria because its function is replaced by the cell wall in these microbes. please provide minimum of 400 of words. Thank you!arrow_forwardHello, Can you please help me with the next question? (I would apreciate a short answer). Based on the shape and arrangement of this bacterium, how would you categorize it (what terms would you use to describe the bacteria)? Thank tou un advance!arrow_forwardHelp me, please! I wish I have a lot of time to do it by myself ... This is the article link and a microbiology open Stax book link for chapter 16 terms. Please help me to find answers. https://piercemil.instructure.com/courses/2180982/assignments/24927088 https://openstax.org/books/microbiology/pages/15-2-how-pathogens-cause-disease#OSC_Microbio_15_02_Invasion Questions: If possible please write the pg of an article with related Answers; it will be easier for me to describe in detail. Thank You for Helping me. Using the terms found in the “Patterns of Incidence” subsection in Chapter 16, what pattern of incidence best matches the outbreak described in the article? Using the terms found in the “Pioneers of Epidemiology” subsection in Chapter 16, which discusses “spread”, what type of spread of the pathogen best matches the outbreak described in the article? Be specific. What type of epidemiological study was used to identify the source of the pathogen in the article? Be specific.…arrow_forward

- Numerous mechanisms are used by the different eukaryotic microbes for cellular locomotion. Please discuss at least 4 of these mechanisms for locomotion utilized by these cells for movement through their microenvironments. Be sure to state the specific organism (name drop please) that you are referring to and how this locomotion mechanism is used by the cell and by microbiologist for classifying microbial cells.arrow_forwardHello, please read the attached Microbiology question and answer the question correctly. Please aim for about 3-4 sentences max (enough to fit within the lines given) *If you correctly answer the question, I will provide a Thumbs Up to you. Thank you.arrow_forwardAfter having studied Circulation/Respiration and Digestion, it will be very important for us to look at and put into practice one important aspect of the thread that ties these three aspects in terms of one of the elements known as the DIVERSITY OF MICROBES. =>>>As you prepare to complete this lab and ready to write your final report, ensure that you are able to answer the following questions and incorporate your answers/responses in the specific sections of your written lab report, (1) What is aseptic technique? (2) What are microbes? (3) What media is being used in the lab? (4) What inoculum is used in the lab? (5) Why was a control used for this experiment? (6) How will you store your agar plates?arrow_forward
