MLS 341 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Facultative Anaerobic Organism, Aerotolerant Anaerobe, Insertion Sequence
Document Summary
Upon completion of this lesson, the student will be able to: Describe the phenotypic or genotypic characterization of bacteria for each of the following: Cellular growth phases in vitro (lag, log, stationary and exponential) and in vivo (incubation, prodromal, acute and convalescent) stages of infection. Anaerobic: phenotypic you can see growth at bottom genotypic: electron transport other than oxygen. Aerobic: phenotypic you can see growth on top. Genotypic: organism that grows in presence of air or requires oxygen for. Does not require oxygen and produces various end products. including: alcohols, acids, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. pg:15 nutrition (fastidious organisms) Describe the basic structure and organization of prokaryotic (bacterial) chromosomes including number, relative size, and cellular location. Bidirectional, circular, 1-3 micro meters, no membrane organelles, the chromosomes are all bunched together within cytoplasm, bacteria have single chromosome. Outline the basic processes and essential components required for genetic information transfer in replication, transcription, translation and regulatory mechanisms.
