Temperatures
• Minimum: “temperature below which bacterial growth will not take place”
• Optimum: “temperature at which organisms grow best”
• Maximum: “temperature above which bacterial growth will not take place”
![Page 9: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

pH
• Readings question two:
Describe the pH scale.
Acidophiles: bacteria that are remarkably tolerant of acidity
![Page 11: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Light
• Cyanobacteria: oxygen producing prokaryotes– thrive in the presence of light
• Yeasts and Molds– prefer dark areas
• Some bacteria are destroyed by ultraviolet light.
![Page 12: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Osmotic Pressure
• “pressure that develops when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane”
• microorganisms require water for growth and are made up of 80-90% water
• high osmotic pressure removes necessary water from a cell
• plasmolysis• hypertonic solutions
![Page 13: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Moisture
• maximum, optimum and minimum requirement for all microorganisms
• Pathogenic bacteria are usually found in the body’s tissues
• Fungal diseases are usually found on the body surface.

Chemical Requirements
• Readings question three:
Describe the differences between autotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria.
![Page 15: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Heterotrophic Bacteria
• 3 categories:– 1) strict (obligate) saprophyte– 2) strict (obligate) parasite– 3) facultative bacteria:• Facultative saprophyte: “prefers live organic matter as
a source of nutrition but can adapt to the use of dead organic matter under certain conditions”• Facultative parasite: capable of living and growing with
the nutrients that its host provides
![Page 16: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Carbon
• one of the most important requirements for microbial growth
• structural backbone of living matter• needed for all the organic compounds that
make up a living cell• ½ of the “dry weight” of a bacterial cell is
carbon
![Page 17: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorus
• needed by microorganisms for the synthesis of cellular material
• e.g. protein, DNA, RNA, ATP
![Page 18: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Trace Elements
• iron, copper, and zinc
• essential for the function of certain enzymes
![Page 19: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Oxygen
• Microbes that use molecular oxygen (aerobes) produce more energy from nutrients than microbes that do not use oxygen (anaerobes)
• Reading question four:Describe the difference between obligate
aerobes and obligate anaerobes.
![Page 20: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Microaerophilic Organisms
• “a microorganism that requires very little free oxygen”
• only grow in oxygen concentrations that are lower than those in air
• require about 2 – 10% free oxygen
![Page 21: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Facultative Organisms
• Facultative Aerobes: “a microorganism that prefers an environment devoid of oxygen but has adapted so that it can live and grow in the presence of oxygen”
• Facultative Anaerobes: “a microorganism that prefers an oxygen environment but is capable of living and growing in its absence”– E.g. Bacillus anthracis, Corneybacterium
diphtheriae, Escherichia coli
![Page 22: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Aerotolerant Organisms
• can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen– e.g. Streptococcus pyogenes
![Page 23: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Microbial Associations
• normal flora (microbiota)• transient microbiota• symbiotic relationship: “organisms live in close
nutritional relationships; required by one or both members”– distinguished by the degree to which the host
organism is harmed
![Page 24: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mutualism
• “a symbiotic relationship in which organisms of two different species live in close association to the mutual benefit of each”– e.g. E. coli in the human digestive tract
![Page 25: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Commensalism
• “the symbiotic relationship of two organisms of different species in which one gains some benefit such as protection or nourishment and the other is not harmed or benefited”– e.g. bacteria on skin surface; microorganisms
within the digestive tract
![Page 26: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Parasitism
• “an interactive relationship between two organisms in which one is harmed and the other benefits”
• many disease-causing bacteria are parasites• typically the host is macroscopic and the
parasite is microscopic• roundworms and flatworms are parasites that
are large multi-cellular organisms
![Page 27: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Readings question five:
What is the synergistic effect?
![Page 28: Physiology of Bacteria Bacterial Growth. Bacterial Colony “a visible group of bacteria growing on a solid medium, presumably arising from a single microorganism”](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72ff8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Antagonism
• “mutual opposition or contrary action. The inhibition of one microorganism by another.”
• Involves competition among microbes• normal microbiota protect the host against
colonization by potentially pathogenic microbes
• normal flora produce substances harmful to the invading microbes (pH, oxygen)
