Identify some possible effects of the following factors on
microbial growth: pH, osmotic pressure, chemical requirements such
as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen
Influence of environmental factors on growth of microbes: osmotic
pressure, pH, temperature, oxygen, pressure, radiation—what are the
key evolutionary adaptations that microbes have made to thrive in
these extreme environments (give specific, complete examples)
Select 3 of the factors that affect microbial growth and
discuss. (USLO 4.1)
Discuss microbial growth patterns. (USLO 4.2)
Discuss the different culture methods used in microbiology.
(USLO 4.3)
Identify 2 growth control mechanisms used to control microbial
growth. Explain how each works. (USLO 4.4)
Correlate aseptic technique in healthcare and microbiology.
(USLO 4.5)
Which of the following solutions has the highest osmotic pressure?
(a) 100 g of a polymer with MW=1,000 g/mol in 1 L of water. (b) 30 g of glucose (MW=180 g/mol) in 1 L of water. (c) 6 g of NaCl (MW=58 g/mol) in 1 L of water. (d) 3 g of Ethanol (MW=46 g/mol) in 1 L of water.
Microbial Growth Control- Bacteriology
-Briefly describe factors affecting optimal growth
temperatures
-Compare & contrast ways in which microbial cells are
enumerated.
-Describe/define both LD and MIC
Which microbial growth control methods (physical and
chemical) kill by these mechanisms?
Denaturation of proteins
Damage to nucleic acids
Damage to cell membrane
