General Microbiology

2. A type of relationship where the parasite is dependent and benefits; the host is harmed
8. These organisms use organic compounds for both energy and carbon
9. Growing microbes under proper conditions
10. Organisms able to grow best in environments with limited oxygen
13. The rate of cell growth equals the rate of cell death caused by depleted nutrients
15. Members cooperate to produce a result that none of them could do alone
20. These organism that gains energy through photosynthesis
22. Must obtain carbon in an organic form made by other living organisms such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids
23. free-living microorganisms that feed on organic detritus from dead organisms
24. Organisms live in close nutritional relationships; required by one or both members
25. A type of transport mechanism that does not require energy

1. Organisms capable of growing in environments containing high levels of salt
3. A type of bacteria that will not grow from a small inocula unless oxygen is absent
4. A type of endocytosis that ingests substances or cells
5. Warm-loving organisms and grow best at warm temperatures (between 45 and 60 degrees C)
6. Use of data, correlation, to ID organism to exact species
7. Organisms that grow best in acidic environments
11. Cold-loving organisms that grow best at cold temperatures (between –5 and 20 degrees C)
12. Observation of characteristics (data)
14. At this phase the limiting factors intensify, and cells die exponentially
16. Producing a pure culture
17. Colony on media, one kind of microbe, pure culture
18. Actions of one organism affect the success or survival of others in the same community (competition)
19. A transport that requires energy and carrier proteins
21. A period of maximum growth in the bacterial growth curve
24. This stain colors transparent Gram-negative cells pink
25. Organisms using light energy and inorganic compounds for carbon
