Microbial Physiology

Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.

Chemotaxis

The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.

Using the appropriate osmotic terms (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) describe what would happen to each organism in the following settings: A single-celled freshwater protist is placed into a beaker of salt water. A salt-water snail is mistakenly put into a freshwater tank. A head of lettuce is placed soaked in a sink of salt water. A carrot is soaked a sink of distilled, pure water.

Scientists let rice blast fungal infection cells attach to and attempt to penetrate six different polymer sheets for different lengths of time and in varying extracellular osmotic pressures (Figure 22.9). As the number of the sheet increases so does its hardness. Which of the following makes the most sense based on the data? 100- 60 40- 20- 192 incubation time (hr) 72 96 240 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- b-Oo 8 10 12 extracellular osmotic pressure, MPa Figure 22.9 Penetration as a function of incubation time (A) and extracellular osmotic pressure (B). Numbers 1 to 6 in both panels indicate the substrate, with lower numbers being softer substrates. Percent penetration goes down over time and as substrate hardness increases. If penetration of a substrate occurs at a particular external pressure, this indicates that internal pressure is high enough to allow penetration of the particular substrate. Harder substrates are more easily penetrated when extracellular osmotic pressures are low. The…

Imagine you are working in a microbiology lab. You perform an experiment where you take a culture of bacterial cells, transfer them to a new solution (Solution A), and then determine the number of living cells. You are surprised by the result: there are no living cells! Which of the following is a possible explanation for your observation? Solution A is hypertonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells. Solution A is isotonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells. Solution A is hypotonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of water out of the cells. Solution A is hypertonic for your bacterium, resulting in the diffusion of ions out of the cells.

i just answered a hw question that i was a little confused on. i answered it but am not fully sure if it's correct. so can you take a look at check if my answer is correct and if it's not, then a explaintion would be helpful. Would you expect water molecules to move faster when there is a HIGH concentration gradient or a LOW concentration gradient? Water molecules would move faster when there is a high concentration gradient because the pressure for the molecules in the high concentration to reach equilibrium increases since there are more molecules there than in the low concentration. So as the molecules move down the concentration gradient faster to equalize the concentration on both sides due to the increased pressure, the rate of diffusion increases.
Which property is illustrated in the following examples? A bacterium makes a copy of itself, increasing population numbers. _____________ A baby penguin changes as it ages, starting out as a fluffy bird and maturing into a sleek animal. ________________________ The body cools itself by sweating when its internal temperature rises. _______________ It’s cold, so I put on a sweater. _________________________
Why are salt and sugar used in the production of dried meat and dried fruits? Substances that maintain a highly hypertonic environment, like sugar and salt, are used in the production of dried meat, fruits or fish (for example, cod) because the material to be conserved is then dehydrated and the resulting dryness prevents the growth of populations of decomposer beings (since these beings also lose water and die).
