The Common Nutrient Requirements

• macroelements (macronutrients)– C, O, H, N, S, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe– required in relatively large amounts

• micronutrients (trace elements)– Mn, Zn, Co, Mo, Ni, and Cu– required in trace amounts– often supplied in water or in media

components

Requirements for Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen

• often satisfied together• autotrophs

– use carbon dioxide as their sole or principal carbon source

• heterotrophs– use organic molecules as carbon

sources

Uptake of Nutrients by the Cell

Most common mechanisms are:– facilitated diffusion– active transport– group translocation

Copyright © McGraw-Hill companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Active Transport

• energy-dependent process– ATP or proton motive force used

• moves molecules against the gradient

• concentrates molecules inside cell• involves carrier proteins (permeases)

– carrier saturation effect is observed

ABC transporters

• ATP-binding cassette transporters

• observed in bacteria, archaea, and eucaryotes

• molecules are modified as they are transported across the membrane

• energy-dependent process

Iron Uptake• ferric iron is very

insoluble so uptake is difficult

• microorganisms use siderophoresto aid uptake

• siderophore complexes with ferric ion

• complex is then transported into cell

Culture Media• preparations devised to support the

growth (reproduction) of microorganisms

• can be liquid or solid– solid media are usually solidified with

agar

• important to study of microorganisms

Synthetic or Defined Media

all components and their concentrations are known

I media sintetici hanno una composizione chimica nota e relativamente semplice. Utili per i FOTOAUTOTROFI, per selezionare mutanti nutrizionali e per usare radioisotopi.

Esempio: desiderate non selezionare organismi che possano ottenere tutto l'azoto dall’ N2 atmosferico ? Preparate il media sintetico senza fonte di N.

MEDIUM BG-11 A modification of this medium, BG-110 (nitrate omitted) isemployed for nitrogen-fixing strains after addition of a solution of filter-sterilized NaHCO3 (5 or 10 mM final concentration, as specifiedin the strain description).

Complex Media

• contain some ingredients of unknown composition and/or concentration

Copyright © McGraw-Hill companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Some media components• peptones

– protein hydrolysates prepared by partial digestion of various protein sources

• extracts– aqueous extracts, usually of beef or

yeast

• agar– sulfated polysaccharide used to solidify

liquid media

Types of Media

• general purpose media– support the growth of many

microorganisms– e.g., tryptic soy agar

• enriched media– general purpose media supplemented

by blood or other special nutrients– e.g., blood agar

Types of media…

• selective media– favor the growth of some

microorganisms and inhibit growth of others

– e.g., MacConkey agar• selects for gram-negative bacteria

Types of media…

• differential media– distinguish between different groups of

microorganisms based on their biological characteristics

– e.g., blood agar• hemolytic versus nonhemolytic bacteria

– e.g., MacConkey agar• lactose fermenters versus nonfermenters

Luria Broth

pH Conditions Adjust pH to 7.0 with 1N HCl

Remarks For solid media add 1.5% agar before sterilization

Tryptone 10 g

yeast extract 5 g

NaCl 5 g

water 1 l

Media Complessi: composizione non completamente nota.Spesso ricavati da materiali organici economici avanzi di carni (sottoposti a proteolisi

parziale: tryptone ecc.), avanzi di soie, lieviti (sorgente ricca di vitamine ad es), sangue animale, ecc.

I media standard usati in laboratorio sono di norma complessi

The basic growth media for bacteria is Nutrient Broth (NB), Nutrient Agar (NA), Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB), and TrypticSoy Agar (TSA). These preparations may be made in variousforms: broth, deep, slant or plates.

L’autoclave è attalmente lo strumento più usato in laboratorio per sterilizzare strumenti e terreni

Lavora ad una pressione di vapore di una atmosfera e 121°CTmin=15min routine ma in generale f(Vol da sterilizzare)->Altre forme di sterilizz. al calore

I terreni selettivi possono essere sintetici o complessi.

Esempio: i sali della bile inibiscono lo sviluppo della maggior parte dei batteri gram-positivi e di alcuni batteri gram-negativi, ma i batteri enterici crescono bene.Il terreno di MacConkey è un esempio molto importante di terreno seletivo

Il terreno di MacConkey è contemporaneamente un terreno differenziale.L' agar di MacConkey ha indicatore di pH che distingue la presenza di acido prodotto da

batteri che fermentano uno zucchero (che si coloreranno di rosa-rosso). I batteri che non possono fermentare lo stesso zucchero crescono ma rimangono bianchi.

MAC is selective:Gram negative organisms will grow, Gram positive organisms will not. This is due to the addition of bile salts and crystal violet.

MAC is differential:Lactose fermenters will appear pink, non-lactose fermenters will appearcolorless. This is due to the additionof the indicator, neutral red.

Enterobacter cloacaeGram Negative (growth)Lactose Fermenter (pink colonies)

Escherichia coliGram Negative: growthLactose Fermentation: positive: pink colonies

SalmonellatyphimuriumGramNegative: growthLactoseFermentation: negative (colorlesscolonies)

Notare alcuni patogeni si distinguono per questa caratteristica

Staphylococcus aureusGram Positive: did not growLactose fermentation: undetermined.

Fermentation for S. aureus or other gram positive organisms cannot be determined from this test since theydo not grow on MAC agar.

To determine lactose fermentationfor gram positive organisms, use the carbohydrate fermentation tests.
