BIOL 2051 : Biol 2051 Brinstool Control Of Microbe Growth Study Guide
Document Summary
The eclipse begins as soon as infectious particles are removed from the environment by absorbing to host cells: maturation begins as the newly synthesized nucleic acid molecules become packaged inside protein coats. Still, not detected in the medium: because newly synthesized virons have not yet appeared outside the cell, the eclipse and maturation periods together are called the latent period, describe rna interference. What type (animal, prokaryotic, dna, rna, etc. ) of virus is this effective against: rnai (rna interference)- a major mechanism for protection against infection by rna viruses, found only in eukaryotes. Bacteriocidal agents kill the cell, but the dead ells are not destroyed; and total cell numbers remain constant: bacteriolytic- kills cells by lysis; antibiotics (penicillin) that inhibit cell wall synthesis. Big ideas from chapter 26: microbial growth control: sterilization is the killing of all organisms and viruses, and heat is the most widely used method of sterilization.
