Agricultural Microbiology - ans- Deals with the relationships between microbes and domesticated plants and
animals

- Plant specialists focus on plant diseases, soil fertility, and nutritional interactions

- Animal specialists work with infectious diseases and other associations animals have with microorganisms

Algae - ans- Unicellular microorganisms

- Prokaryotic

- Food or water borne

- Reproduce Asexually

- Photosythetic

Assay media - ansUsed to test the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs

Bacteria - ans- Unicellular microorganisms

- Some cause human, animal, or plant diseases; others are beneficial.

- Prokaryotic

Bacteria and Archaea consist of what type of cells? - ansProkaryotic

Bergey's manual of ______________________ _______________________ is based on phenotypic
characteristics and is used in clinical, teaching, and research labs - ansDeterminative Bacteriology

,Bioremediation - ansIntroduction of microbes into the environment to restore stability or to clean up toxic
pollutants

Biotechnology - ansManipulation of microorganisms to make products in an industrial setting

Can a medium be classified as both selective and differential? - ansYes, some media can be both selective and
differential

Can antibiotics target viral infections? Explain your answer. - ansNo, because:

• Viruses mutate at a rapid rate

Describe the 3 different methods of isolating bacteria. - ans- Streak plate: a small droplet of culture or sample is
spread over the surface of the medium with an inoculating loop in a pattern that gradually thins out the sample
and separates the cells spatially over several sections of the plate

- Loop dilution: the sample is inoculated serially into a series of cooled but sill liquid agar tubes so as to dilute
the number of cells in each successive tube in the series.

- Spread plate: a small volume of liquid, diluted sample is pipetted onto the surface of the medium and spread
evenly by a sterile spreading tool

Describe the 3 physical states of media and the purpose of each - ans- Liquid: found in test tubes, termed
broths, milks, infusions

- Semi-solid: clot like, found in test tubes, determines motility of bacteria

- Solid: provide a firm surface on which cells can form discrete colonies
