Cards

Term
What are the 8 visible colony characteristics?
Definition
Shape, margin, elevation, size, texture, appearance, pigmentation, optical property
Term
What are the 6 types of culture media?
Definition

Defined (What a bacteria needs)

Complex (nutrition for multiple types)

Selective (allows for 1 trait to thrive)

Differential (Selective and color changes by characteristic)

Anaerobic

Transport

Term
What is the Generation Time Curve?
Definition

Lag phase (Cell prep for division)

Log phase (Log growth/division)

Stationary phase (growth and death in balance)

Death

Term
Nt = (N0)(2^n)
Definition

Nt = # of cells in the population at time T

N0 = original # of cells

n = The # of divisions

Term
What are the 6 types of enzymes?
Definition

Oxidoreductase

Transferase

Hydrolace

Lyase

Isomerase

Ligase

Term
What are the 3 energy periods of Glycolysis?
Definition

Energy Investment (2 ATP used)

Lysis (NAD and P groups)

Energy conservation (2 ATP generated)

Term
Colony Forming Units per Ml equation
Definition
CFU/ML * dilution factor = cfu/ml
Term
Solid sample colony forming units per ml (2nd equation for solids only)
Definition
CFU/ml*volume water/grams of sample
Term
Solve Nt = N0*2^n
Definition

x=2^n

Log(x)=Log(2^n)

Log(x)=nLog(2)

Log(x)/Log(2) = N
