Study Notes
Louis Pasteur's Experiment
- Louis Pasteur used s-necked tubes to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation.
- The s-necked tubes allowed air to enter but prevented dust and microbes from entering the broth.
Viral Particles
- A complete virion is the fully assembled infectious viral particle.
- A complete virion contains a nucleic acid genome (DNA or RNA), a capsid (protein coat), and possibly an envelope.
Spoiled Milk
- Lactose is a sugar found in milk.
- Spoiled milk is caused by bacteria that break down lactose.
Sulfur Dioxide in Winemaking
- Treating grapes with sulfur dioxide during winemaking prevents the contamination of other species of microorganisms.
Sweet Wine Production
- Sweet wines have a low alcohol content.
Penicillin
- Penicillin is a type of antibiotic.
Fermentors
- Fermentors are used to grow microbial cultures in controlled environments.
- Fermentors allow for control of temperature, pH, aeration, and other factors that affect microbial growth.
Secondary Metabolites
- Secondary metabolites are produced during the stationary phase of microbial growth.
- Secondary metabolites are not essential for the growth of the microbial organism, but they can have important biological activities.
