Temperature tolerance of bacteria
Write the correct term for bacteria growing under the following conditions
7. Most medically important bacteria
8. Bacteria growing on or inside your body
9. Bacteria growing in your refrigerator
10. Bacteria growing in the arctic ocean in winter
11. Bacteria growing in hot springs in Arkansas
12. Bacteria growing in geysers
13. Why are bacteria not able to grow at temperature higher than the maximum tolerance limit?
14. Do bacteria grow at the temperatures lower than the minimum tolerance limit? Why or why not? Explain
Osmotic Balance Requirements of Bacteria:
Read the information from textbook from chapter 4 review sections 4.3-4.4 to answer the following questions.
Read the following:
· For experiment: Osmotic Influences
Osmotic tolerance of bacteria
Halophiles : On human body, Staphylococcus aureus is known to tolerate sweat. These bacteria may cause skin infections if athletic gear is shared among athletes without proper sanitization. In nature we will find bacteria, algae and fungi in water bodies or soil with higher salt concentrations. These organisms come under a group called “halophiles”.
Habitat : Halophiles are usually found in salt lakes, salt marshes, subterranean salt deposits, dry soil, salted meat and hypersaline seas.
3 groups based on the salt concentration tolerance :
· Halophiles-2-5% salt required for growth
· Moderate halophiles-5-20% salt required for growth
· Extreme halophiles-20-30% salt required for growth
Write the correct term for bacteria growing under the following conditions
15. Based in your knowledge about tonicity, for cells to survive they have to be surrounded by ______tonic environment.
16. Why would cells not survive in hypotonic or hypertonic environment?
