BIOL 1202 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Primary Nutritional Groups, Polysaccharide, Singlet Oxygen
Document Summary
This chapter describes the basic nature of microbial growth. Several methods for the measurement of microbial growth are described, as are different systems for studying microbial growth. The influence of various environmental factors on the growth of microorganisms is discussed and the chapter ends with a consideration of microbial growth in natural environments. This chapter describes the basic nutritional requirements of microorganisms. Cells must have a supply of raw materials and energy in order to construct new cellular components. It also describes the processes by which microorganisms acquire nutrients and provides information about the cultivation of microorganisms. Psychrophiles can grow well at 0 c, have optimal growth at 15 c or lower, and usually will not grow above 20 c. Interdomain communication: communication between domains, rhizobium interacting with a legume, laboratory culture of cellular microbes, a culture medium is a solid or liquid preparation used to grow, transport, and store microorganisms, chemical and physical types of culture media.
