death. Along with tainted meat‚ the bacterium can normally be found within the human gastrointestinal tract‚ fecal matter‚ and soil. Its endospores can lie dormant for long periods of time until the right conditions present itself to begin its germination process. Whether or not careful food handling was present during its preparation‚ C. perfringens endospores can survive in proper cooking conditions and can withstand boiling temperatures for up to an hour 2. Due to its ability to germinate so rapidly

MICROBIOLOGY STUDY QUESTI0NS - EXAM 1 1. Briefly discuss the theory of spontaneous generation. What scientific evidence was presented to disprove the theory? Spontaneous generation- theory (until second half of 19th century) that some forms of life can arise spontaneously from nonliving matter‚ i.e. maggots from corpses Redi (1668)- demonstrated maggots do not arise from decaying meat by filling two jars with decaying meat (one sealed‚ one unsealed). Unsealed jar developed larvae and sealed did

BIO 113 Spring 2012 - Dr. MJ Bernot Study Guide – Exam 2 Chapter 7- IS AT THE BOTTOM. Bernot wrote it so hopefully it is useful • Describe the structure of DNA and discuss how it facilitates the ability of DNA to act as genetic material • Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes • Describe the process of DNA replication as a semi-conservative process. Compare and contrast the synthesis of the leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. • Explain

Chapter 1: The Main Themes of Microbiology What is Microbiology? • micron = small and biologia = study of living things • Microbiology = study of small living things • How small is “small”? • What do we really mean by living? • Working definition: Study of entities too small to be seen with the unaided human eye. • (< 0.2 mm = 200 µm = 200‚000 nm) Types of Microbes Prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea Eukaryotes include Protista (Algae and Protozoa)‚ Fungi‚ and Animalia
