Document Summary

Draw the curve and label each phase: lag: no cell division occurs. Bacteria adapt to the environment: log (exponential) phase: exponential growth of the population, stationary phase:: number of dying cells equals the number of progeny cells, death phase: accumulaten of waste products and scarcity of nutrients. Be able to label each of them to their corresponding growth patterns in thioglycolate tubes: obligate aerobes: require oxygen to grow. Describe the mechanism of action of acyclovir: compounds that are structurally similar to normal nucleotides. Give one example of each: commensalism: one organism benefit which the host is neither helped or harmed, mutualism: both organisms benefit from their interaction, parasitism: one organism benefits while harming the host, differentiate between endosymbionts and ectosymbionts. 50% of test subjects: lesser the id the more pathogenic (disease causing, ld50: amount of microbial agent that will kill 50% of test subjects lesser the. Example: bacillus anthracis has a ld50 of 100 cfu/ml.
