Study Notes
Multiple Choice Questions
- Domains of Life: Bacteria, archaea, and eukarya
- Pili: Also called fimbriae.
- Flagella: Used for movement; present in bacteria; have a hook (at the end of the filament, anchored to the basal body).
- Infectious Agents: Viroids — infectious agents without nucleic acid genome; Prions; Virusoids
- Prokaryotic Organisms with cell walls but without peptidoglycan: Archaea
- Antibodies: Produced by plasma cells.
- Synergism: Phenomenon where two antibiotics together increase their therapeutic effect.
- Bacterial Growth Curve calculations: Doubling time calculated in the log phase.
- Biosafety levels: Number of these levels (1-4).
- Koch's Postulates (not complete but an important concept): A set of criteria for proving a microorganism causes a disease. Criteria include presence of microbe in diseased, but not healthy, animals; isolating microbe from diseased animal; causing same disease in healthy animal when exposed to microbe; and reisolating the same microbe from experimental animal.
- Microbial communities Colonies, biofilms, and biospheres.
