Optimum - ANSWER The temperature at which the organism grows best over time is
___________________.
Minimum - ANSWER The temperature, below which the organism cannot grow is
called the __________________.
Maximum - ANSWER The temperature, above which the organism cannot grow is
called the _________________.
Turbidity - ANSWER The optimum temperature of growth may be observed in broth
cultures as measures of _____________________.
absorbance - ANSWER The turbidity is measured by ___________________.
spectrophotometer - ANSWER What tool is used to measure the turbidity?
proportional - ANSWER The higher the absorbance of light, the higher the growth, i.e.
they are ______________________.
Optical Density - ANSWER As cells grow, more light is absorbed, and the higher the
absorbance reading, this is also referred to as what?
Psychrophiles - ANSWER Organisms that grow only below 20 degrees C are classified
as _________________________.
1
, Psychrotrophs - ANSWER Organisms that live in the cold but can also grow up to 35
degrees C and slightly higher, are classified as _____________________.

degrees C are ___________________ _____________________.
thermoduric - ANSWER These bacteria generally are mesophiles that endure high
temperatures for short periods of time.
E. coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus - ANSWER What two bacterial cultures were
used for the Growth Factors Temperature Lab?
4, 25, 36, 55 - ANSWER What were the four temperatures the bacteria were kept at for
the Growth Factors Temperature lab?
absorbance - ANSWER The objective of the Growth Factors Temperature Lab is to
quantify the amount of turbidity and therefore the amount of bacterial growth by obtaining
an _______________________ value for each nutrient broth.
