Across
- 5. HATE oxygen and die in its presence
- 7. cold loving microbes whose optimum temp is 15 degrees C or below
- 8. organism that must obtain carbon from organic molecules
- 10. contains carbon and hydrogen
- 13. derive carbon and energy from organic compounds
- 14. require a small amount of oxygen for metabolism
- 17. type of heterotroph that feeds on organic material from dead organisms
- 18. use C02 as carbon source, and instead of light use inorganic molecules to provide energy
- 19. microbes optimum temp greater than 45 degrees C, extreme between 80 and 121 C.
- 20. can survive short exposure to high temps, include heat resistant endospore formers
Down
- 1. use C02 as carbon source and light as energy
- 2. DON'T require oxygen for metabolism but can still use it, many gram-neg intestinal bacteria
- 3. organism that gets carbon from C02 and can make its own "food"
- 4. don't use oxygen but can survive and grow to some extent with it present
- 6. an organism that cannot grow without oxygen
- 9. microbes optimum temp between 15 and 30 degrees C
- 11. contains combos of atoms other than carbon and hydrogen
- 12. majority of medically significant microbes grow optimally at 20 to 40 degrees C
- 15. prefer high concentration of salt
- 16. grow best at higher C02 amounts than normally present in atmosphere
