10 Questions
What type of bacteria require oxygen for growth?
Obligate Aerobes
In the presence of oxygen, which type of bacteria would die?
Obligate Anaerobes
Which type of bacteria can grow well at temperatures between 20-40°C?
Mesophiles
Bacteria that require 3% NaCl or higher for growth are classified as:
Halophiles
Which type of bacteria prefer low salt concentrations below 3%?
Xerophile
Match the following bacteria classification with their corresponding descriptions:
Obligate Aerobes = Require oxygen for growth Obligate Anaerobes = Die in the presence of oxygen Facultative Anaerobes = Don't need oxygen, but aren't killed by it Mesophiles = Bacteria categorized based on temperature range of 20-40°C
Match the following bacteria with their temperature classification range:
Psychrophiles = Below 15-20°C Mesophiles = 20-40°C Thermophiles = 40-90°C Extreme Thermophiles = Grow well at greater than 10% NaCl
Match the following bacteria with their salt requirement classification:
Halophiles = Require 3% NaCl or higher for growth Extreme Halophiles = Grow well at greater than 10% NaCl Xerophile = Prefer low salt concentration below 3% Obligate Aerobes = Require oxygen for growth
Match the following bacteria with their pH classification:
Acidophiles = Thrive in acidic pH conditions Alkaliphiles = Prefer alkaline pH conditions Halophiles = Require 3% NaCl or higher for growth Xerophile = Prefer low salt concentration below 3%
Match the following bacteria with their specific species:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa = Example of Obligate Aerobes Clostridium sp. = Example of Obligate Anaerobes E.coli = Example of Facultative Anaerobes Bacillus stearothermophilus = Example of Thermophiles
Study Notes
Bacteria Classification
- Aerobic bacteria require oxygen for growth.
- Anaerobic bacteria would die in the presence of oxygen.
- Mesophilic bacteria grow well at temperatures between 20-40°C.
- Halophilic bacteria require 3% NaCl or higher for growth.
- Non-halophilic bacteria prefer low salt concentrations below 3%.
Bacteria Classification Matchups
- Psychrophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures below 20°C.
- Mesophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures between 20-40°C.
- Thermophilic bacteria: grow at temperatures above 40°C.
- Halophilic bacteria: require 3% NaCl or higher for growth.
- Non-halophilic bacteria: prefer low salt concentrations below 3%.
- Acidophilic bacteria: grow at pH below 7.
- Neutrophilic bacteria: grow at pH around 7.
- Alkaliphilic bacteria: grow at pH above 7.
- Specific species: examples include E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Test your knowledge on bacterial respiration and classification based on their gaseous requirements, including obligate aerobes, obligate anaerobes, and facultative anaerobes. Explore how bacteria can be categorized based on their temperature preferences.
