    Study Notes

    Microbiology Lecture Summary

    • Burt used chicken broth in a flask, heating it at low heat for a long time, then handled it with bare hands and set it on an unsterilized countertop
    • Lysogenic and lytic cycles of bacteriophage are depicted in figures and lecture slides, with key differences including viral DNA integration during lysogenic cycle
    • Escherichia coli can cause food poisoning and is named using binomial nomenclature, with false statement about the system being that there is only one type of organism of each species
    • Horizontal gene transfer involves DNA transfer to next generation of bacteria from a related cell, gaining a single new gene sequence from outside of the cell
    • Animal viruses need to be uncoated after penetration, unlike bacteriophage, as they insert DNA into the host cell genome and exit the host cell in the uncoating step
    • Bacteria cell walls differ from fungi in that only bacteria cell walls contain peptidoglycan
    • Not all viruses destroy their host cell during release
    • B. cereus and B. anthracis have different genotypes, leading to different phenotypes if these genes are expressed into proteins in B. anthracis
    • Microbes are important to human life on Earth for various reasons, including providing fundamental knowledge about life processes and being essential for life and supporting life processes
    • Helminths are unique compared to other microorganisms as they can be viewed without a microscope during part of their life cycle
    • Viruses are unable to reproduce outside of a host cell
    • Disadvantage of the lytic cycle for bacteriophage is that the host cell lyses

    Microbiology and Disease Summary

    • Transformation is the transfer of DNA from a donor to a recipient cell through naked DNA in solution.
    • An antibiotic targeting the 70S ribosome will have no effect on human ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
    • A cell undergoing transformation takes up foreign DNA and incorporates it into its genome.
    • The core of every virus particle always contains either DNA or RNA.
    • Conjugation differs from other means of horizontal gene transfer as it requires physical contact between bacteria cells by pili.
    • Fimbriae help bacteria attach and form biofilms.
    • Bacteria with plasmids are more likely to be resistant to antibiotics.
    • Viruses are unable to reproduce outside of a host cell.
    • Bacillus anthracis, a gram-positive bacteria, would appear purple and rod-shaped under a microscope.
    • Vibrio cholerae is a curved, Gram-negative microorganism with two plasma membranes and a peptidoglycan cell wall.
    • Clostridium difficile is a prokaryotic pathogen with a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.
    • A mutant strain of Serratia marcescens with an abnormal ribosome might affect biofilm formation, motility, and protein production.

    Microbiology Quiz Summary

    • The lysogenic and lytic cycles of bacteriophage are depicted in Figures 6.7 and 6.8.
    • Escherichia coli can cause food poisoning and follows binomial nomenclature.
    • Horizontal gene transfer involves DNA transfer to the next generation of bacteria from a related cell.
    • Animal viruses need to be uncoated, while bacteriophages do not.
    • Fungi and bacteria differ in their cell wall composition, with only bacteria containing peptidoglycan.
    • Not all viruses destroy their host cell during release.
    • Different genotypes of bacteria lead to different phenotypes if genes are expressed into proteins.
    • Microbes are important for human life due to various reasons, including bioremediation and food production.
    • The figure does not provide enough information to determine which cell envelope includes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules.
    • Helminths are unique compared to other microorganisms because they contain peptidoglycan in their cell walls.
    • Viruses are unable to reproduce outside of a host cell.

    Nutrition and Physical Activity Summary

    • "Thrifty gene" activity affects likelihood of being of normal weight
