MBio

2. count, measures the cells in the culture that are capable of reproducing
4. an attached polysaccharide matrix containing embedded bacterial cells.
5. phase; exponential but in most cases, it is slower than that of exponential growth.
10. growth that they grow attached to a surface, no movement.
11. similar to selective media but designed to increase numbers of desired microbes to detectable levels.
12. differentiation of colonies of desired microbes from others
15. media that nutrient solutions used to grow microorganisms in the laboratory
16. media that employ digests of microbial, animal, or plant products
20. growth that during cell division one cell becomes two
23. chemical as energy source for feeding the microbe
24. continuous culture device
25. density, quantitative measure of light scattering by a liquid culture.
26. mature biofilm
29. organic chemicals
30. phase; seemingly “growth”; cells dormant but physiologically active

1. COUNTING CHAMBER
3. forms a new daughter cell, with the mother cell retaining its original identity.
6. media that adding precise amount of highly purified organic/inorganic chemicals to distilled water
7. a time when one cell separates to form two cells
8. light as energy source for feeding the microbe
9. growth which cellular constituents increase proportionally
13. growth that suspended lifestyle
14. suppression of unwanted microbes; encouraging desired microbes; salmonella shigella agar
17. phase; no net increase/decrease in cell number; slow metabolic activity; excessive accumulation of toxic wastes; depletion of nutrients; cells are smaller than those in log and do not have constant composition.
18. milk protein in media
19. defined as an increase in the number of cells
21. cytoplasmic extension
22. growth of obligate anaerobes
27. inorganic chemicals
28. phase; most intense cell division; only the organism itself influences its growth; cell nearly uniform
