UTA Microbiology 2460 Exam #1
Microbiology - -Study of small organisms
- Miasma Theory - -Ancient Greeks blamed diseases on "bad air"
- German physician, establish method for connecting pathogens with a
specific disease, Koch's - -Father of western medicine, said diseases was not
caused by supernatural forces, Hippocratic corpus and oath used today
- Thucydides - -Father of science history, Athenian plague, early concept of
immunity
- Marcus Terentius Varro - -Proposed that things we cannot see could cause
disease, Res. Rusticae is his book over minute creatures in water/air, animals
minute (microbes)
- Antoine Van Leeuwenhoek - -Used magnifying lens to observe
"animalcules" in rain drop, "father of microbiology"
- Who are the 2 Golden Age of Microbiology scientists? - -Louis Pasteur and
Robert Koch
- Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch - -Made a lot of contributions and
developments which advanced microbiology, competition between the 2
propelled the study of microbiology
- Louis Pasteur - -Fermentation and spoilage caused by microbes,
pasteurization, vaccines (rabies)
- Robert Koch - -German physician, establish method for connecting
pathogens with a
specific disease, Koch's postulates, anthrax, cholera, tuberculosis
- Carolus Linnaeus - -Developed new way to categorize plants and animals
- Ernst Haeckel - -Wrote general morphology of organisms, proposed 4
kingdoms (animals, plants, protists, and monera)
- Robert Whittaker - -Proposed adding 5th kingdom of fungi
- Woese and Fix - -Scientists who implemented molecular techniques to
phylogenetic analysis instead of just observable traits
- Prokaryotes - -Bacteria and archaea
, - Eukaryotes - -Algae, fungi, protozoa, and helminths
- Acellular microbes - -Viruses and prions
- Bacterial common shapes: Coccus - -Spherical
- Bacterial common shapes: Bacillus - -Rod shaped
- Bacterial common shapes: Vibrio - -Slightly curved
- Bacterial common shapes: Coccobacillus - -Part sphere, part rod
- Bacterial common shapes: Spirillum - -Curve/wave
- Bacterial common shapes: Spirichete - -Twisted, spiral
- Archae - -Unicellular, psuedopeptidoglycan cell wall, live in extreme
environments
- Protists: Algae + Protozoa - -Unicellular eukaryotes with no cell wall
- Algae - -Photosynthetic, unicellular or multicellular, important in
ecosystems and consumer products, cellulose cell wall
- Protozoa - -Diverse, motility via cilia and flagella, pseudopod, unicellular,
no cell wall, no photosynthesis
- Fungi - -Eukaryotic, no photosynthesis, multicellular or unicellular (yeasts),
chitin cell walls, molds
- Helminths - -Eukaryotic, no cell wall, no photosynthesis, multicellular
parasitic worms, microscopic eggs and larvae
- Viruses and prions - -Acellular, require hosts to reproduce
- Prion - -Proteins would disease causing agent
- Light - -Behaves as electromagnetic waves and has same properties as
waves
- Light/Wave Properties - -Wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
- Wavelength - -Length between peaks
- Amplitude - -Height of peaks
