Tortora All Chapters 1-28 correcte100% AIDs - A serious (often fatal) disease of the immune system transmitted through blood products especially by sexual contact or contaminated needles. Often called acquired immunodeficiency disease Alexander Fleming - Discovered penicillin. A contaminated culture had mold growth. The mold had a clear area where bacterial grown had been inhibited. Algae (sing: alga) - Eukaryotes, Cellulose cell walls. Use photosynthesis for energy. Produce molecular oxygen and organic compounds Antibiotics - Drugs that block the growth and reproduction of bacteria Anton Von Lewenhoek - First to create microscope Archaea - Prokaryotic single-celled organisms that lack peptidoglycan in their cells walls. Live in extreme environments. Divided into three subsets: Methanogens, Extreme Halophiles, Thermophiles. Aseptic techniques - Techniques that prevent contamination by unwanted microorganisms, which are now standard practice in laboratory and medical procedures Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty - DNA was established as the hereditary material in 1944. Bacteria (singular bacterium) - Simple, single-celled, prokaryotic organisms, have peptidoglycan cell walls, reproduce through binary fission. Make energy by use of organic and inorganic chemicals, and/or through photosynthesis Bacteriology - Study of bacteria Beadle and Tatum - Demonstrated the relations between genes and enzymes in 1941.
