What is the key difference between photoheterotrophs and photoautotrophs?

A biofilm in the reprocessor

Patients with indwelling catheters are susceptible to infections

Bc biofilms develop on catheters

The biosafety level (BSL) for most introductory microbiology laboratories is

Assume you inoculated 100 cells into 100ml of nutrient broth. You then inoculated 100 cells of the same species into 200 ml of nutrient broth. After incubation for 4 hours...

You should have the same number of cells in both.

A culture medium consisting of agar, peptone, and beef heart is

A complex medium

Agar is used as a solidifying agent in microbiological media since few bacteria can degrade it. T/F

True

Agar is used as a solidifying agent in microbiological media since few bacteria can degrade it. T/F

True

An experiment began with 4 cells and ended with 128 cells. How many generations did the cells go through?

5

Which of the following is the best definition of generation time?

The length of time needed for a cell to divide.

Which of the following is the best definition of generation time?

The length of time needed for a cell to divide.

Three cells with generation times of 60 minutes are inoculated into a culture medium. How many cells are there after 5 hours?

96

During which growth phase will gram-positive bacteria be most susceptible to penicillin?

Log phase

What results when a single bacterium reproduces?

Two genetically identical daughter cells.

If you begin with six cells, how many cells would you have after three rounds of division?

Forty-eight cells

Which of the following is not a step in bacterial cell division?

Disappearance of nuclear envelope

Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical daughter cells?

Replication of the bacterial chromosome

Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical daughter cells?

Replication of the bacterial chromosome

What enables the copied chromosome to separate during binary fission?

The chromosomes are attached to different parts of cell membrane, which elongates and thus separates the chromosomes.

How long does it take for the daughter cells from one round of replication to replicate themselves?

No time is required. They are ready to divide immediately after DNA replication and separation of the daughter cells is complete if conditions are right.

Put the following steps of bacterial replication in the correct order

3,1,2,4

What would happen if the septum did not form during binary fission?

The parent cell would now have two copies of the chromosomes.

Starting with three cells, how many cells would result from three rounds of replication?

24

Bacterial growth refers to an increase in the number of cells in a bacterial culture. T/F

True

Most bacteria reproduce by

Binary fission

Which of the following statements regarding infections involving biofilms is FALSE?

There is no way to prevent biofilms from developing on surfaces.

Microbes have very narrow optimum temperature ranges. Which of the following classifications of microbes are most likely to cause human disease, based on temp requirements ?

Mesophiles

Which level of biosafety is appropriate for handling organisms that present a moderate risk of infection?

BSL-2

Bacteria that can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen are called

Facultative anaerobes
