Aseptic
adjective
a: preventing infectionb: free or freed from pathogenic microorganisms
Things cleaned specifically in a way that prevents infection were first described as "aseptic" in the late 19th century. The word combines the prefix "a-," meaning "not," and "septic," from Greek "sēptikos," meaning "putrifying."
"Aseptic" was preceded by more than a century by "antiseptic" (from "anti-," meaning "opposing,").

Appertization
Term of French origin for the process of destroying all the micro-organisms of significance in food, i.e. ‘commercial sterility’; a few organisms remain alive but quiescent. Named after Nicholas Appert (1752–1841), a Paris confectioner who invented the process of canning; he opened the first vacuum-bottling factory in 1804.

Fomite
A fomite is an inanimate object, such as a keyboard, that might have microorganisms on it that can be picked up by someone.
"Fomite" is a Latin word for “tinder”. – Much like tinder is a catalyst of fire, a fomite can
kindle disease.

BENEFITS OF MICROORGANISMS
Decompose organic wastes Are producers in the ecosystem by photosynthesis (algae,
cyanobacteria, etc) Produce industrial chemicals such as ethanol and acetone Produce fermented foods such as vinegar, cheese, bread,
beer, wine. Fermentation also produces useful products such as solvents to dissolve substances. To be “probiotic” means to add microbes to your diet.
Produce products used in manufacturing (e.g. cellulose) and treatment of diseases (e.g. E coli can make insulin).

Number of Bacteria
You have more bacterial cells living in and on your body than you have human cells!
If you judge based on cell count or DNA diversity your physical being is more bacteria than human. (If you go based on weight, human cells still predominate.)

NAMING AND CLASSIFYING MICROORGANISMS
The first letter of the genus name is always capitalized, but never the first letter of the species name.
The genus may be abbreviated with the first letter, and the species is written out.
The genus and species of an organism is always either underlined OR italicized: E. coli or E. coli are both acceptable.

NAMING AND CLASSIFYING MICROORGANISMS
Escherichia coli is the name of a common bacterium normally found in the large intestine of all humans and animals. If E. coli gets out of that location and into the small intestine or elsewhere, it can cause disease.
Staphylococcus aureus is the name of a common bacterium that is found on human skin. If S. aureus gets inside of an open wound, it can cause disease.

VIRUSES
Vaccines can prevent some viral infections, but antibiotics are ineffective for treatment after infection.
Antibiotics work by interfering with cell wall synthesis or metabolism; since viruses don’t have these things, they are not effective.
There are medicines that treat but don’t cure viruses, such as acyclovir for Herpes Simplex 1.24

FUNGI– Eukaryotes: have a nucleus in the cell– Cell walls made of chitin or cellulose– Although mushrooms look like plants, they are
not because they do not use photosynthesis for food. Fungi are not phototrophic.
– They are heterotrophic: Use organic chemicals for energy, not photosynthethesis.
– Not as diverse as bacteria– Two types:
Yeasts: unicellular, no mycelia– Saccharomyces (Baker’s and Brewer’s yeast)– Candida albicans (vaginal yeast infections)
Molds and mushrooms: multicellular, consisting of masses of mycelia which are composed of filaments called hyphae.

own food)– They have roots, stems, and leaves (unlike
algae)– They do not cause many microbiological

FOOD
Probiotics: Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. These are bacteria added to milk, yogurt, and other foods.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as the most common microbes used.
– provides the characteristic sour taste of fermented dairy foods
– acts as a preservative, by lowering the pH and creating fewer opportunities for spoilage organisms to grow.

BIOTECHNOLOGY: Genetic Engineering
Restriction enzymes cut the DNA strands of any organism at precise points.
This is how the sequence of a person’s DNA can be determined.
A specific gene can be removed from one bacterium and inserted it into another using restriction enzymes.

BIOTECHNOLOGY: Recombinant DNA Technology
Transgenic bacteria (bacteria to which a gene from a different species has been transferred)
Example: A human gene which codes for a hormone is transferred to Escherichia coli bacteria.
Escherichia coli produces this human hormone along with their own normal chemical compounds.

RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Recombinant DNA is a form of artificial DNA which is engineered through the combination or insertion of one or more DNA strands, thereby combining DNA sequences which would not normally occur together.
It is produced through the addition of DNA into an existing organism’s genes to alter traits for a specific purpose, such as immunity.
Bacteria can also be used to produce large quantities of human insulin.

NORMAL MICROBIOTA
There are approximately 10 times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body.
Three pounds of E. coli live in our intestines, helping to digest food that we cannot digest.
These microbes produce folic acid, biotin, and vitamin K, substances we need to survive but cannot make ourselves.
Useful microbes compete for nutrients in our body, keeping out harmful bacteria.

WHY WE HAVE MICROBIAL DISEASES
Mutation leads to evolution of bacteria Antibiotic use causes resistance and
evolution of bacteria Travel exposes us to microbes we are not
used to Deforestation (removal of trees, especially in
the tropics, Africa, Central America) destroys the ecosystem and disturbs natural balance of microbes

Lab Soil Project
This Thursday, bring a soil sample to lab. Don’t use really fertile soil…dry is better, but not in an area where no
plants are growing. It is best to get soil close to roots of nearby plants, and dig down about 2 inches first.
Fill a 15 ml test tube all the way up with soil. Record the place of collection, temperature, and any of the below data
you can collect
LOCATION Location Latitude Longitude
