🗑
show form the basis of the food chain in oceans, lakes, and rivers  
🗑
Soil microbes function to....   show
🗑
What is photosynthesis?   show
🗑

🗑
Medical commercial application of microorganisms..   show
🗑

🗑
show producing vinegar, sauerkraut, pickles, alcoholic beverages, green olives, soy sauce, buttermilk, cheese, yogurt, and bread.  
🗑
Pathogenic   show
🗑
Genus (plural: genera)   show
🗑
show the second name used in scientific nomenclature assigned to each organism. It is not capitalized.  
🗑
Staphlo-   show
🗑
coccus   show
🗑
aureus   show
🗑
show Honors Theodor Escherich whom discovered this bacteria. The specific epithet, coli, reminds us that E. coli live in the colon, or large intestines.  
🗑
show relatively simple, single-celled (unicellular) organisms. Cell wall contains a protein-carbohydrate complex called peptidoglycan; their genetic material is not enclosed in a special nuclear membrane.  
🗑
Prokaryotes   show
🗑
Flagella   show
🗑
show Consist of prokaryotic cells, if they have cell walls, the walls lack peptidoglycan; found in extreme environments. Consist of Methanogens, Halophiles, and Thermophiles  
🗑
show one of three archaea that live in extreme environments; they produce methane as a waste product from respiration. Not known to cause disease in humans.  
🗑
Extreme halophiles halo = salt; philic = loving   show
🗑
show one of three archaea that live in extreme hot sulfurous water, such as hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. Not known to cause disease in humans.  
🗑
Fungi (singular: fungus)   show
🗑
show unicellular eukaryotic microbes; reproduce sexually or asexually  
🗑
Algae (singular: alga)   show
🗑
Viruses   show
🗑
Helminths   show
🗑
show all living things are composed of cells  
🗑
show a belief that some forms of life could arise spontaneously from nonliving matter  
🗑
show spontaneous generation; using a controlled experiment.  
🗑
show the claim that living cells can arise only from preexisting living cells  
🗑
Aseptic techniques   show
🗑
Fermentation   show
🗑
show the process of heating solution enough to kill most of the bacteria that causes spoilage and disease  
🗑
Germ theory of disease   show
🗑
Koch’s postulates   show
🗑
Immunity   show
🗑
show the treatment of disease by using chemical substances  
🗑
show chemicals produced naturally by bacteria and fungi to act against other microorganisms  
🗑
Synthetic drugs   show

🗑
Virology   show
🗑
show the study of all of an organism’s genes  
🗑
Immunology   show
🗑
show a form of artificial DNA that is created by combining sequences that would not normally occur together through the process of gene splicing; it can be used to mass produce desired proteins.  
🗑
Microbial genetics   show
🗑
Microbial biology   show
🗑
show the process of using microbes to clean up pollutants and toxic wastes produced by various industrial processes.

What does EID stand for?   show
🗑
show Koch's postulates  
🗑
Agar   show
🗑
Chitin   show
🗑
show the process in which genes are transferred from one bacterium to another as "naked" DNA solution.
