Plasmolysis
Osmotic pressure•Hypertonic environments, increase salt or sugar, cause plasmolysis•Extreme or obligate halophiles require high osmotic pressure•Facultative halophiles tolerate high osmotic pressure

Conclusions:
• On the basis of preferred temperature range, microbes are classified as psychrophiles cold-loving), mesophiles (moderate-temperature-loving), and thermophiles (heat-loving).
• The minimum growth temperature is the lowest temperature at which a species will grow, the optimum growth temperature – at which it grows best, and the maximum temperature – the highest at which growth is possible.
• Most bacteria grow best at a pH value between 6.5 and 7.5
• In a hypertonic solution, most microbes undergo plasmolysis; halophiles can tolerate high salt concentrations

• Oxygen is a powerful oxidizing agent (toxic to cells)
• Some microbes use oxygen and can detoxify it.
• Some microbes do not use oxygen and cannot detoxify it.
• Some microbe do not use oxygen but can detoxify it.

Conclusions:
• The normal reproductive method of bacteria is binary fission, in which a single cell divides into two identical cells.
• The time required for a cell to divide or a population to double is the generation time.
• Bacterial division occurs according to a logarithmic progression.
• During the lag phase, there is little or no change in the number of cells, but metabolic activity is high.
• During the log phase, the bacteria multiply at a fastest rate possible under the conditions provided.
• During the stationary phase, there is an equillibrium between cell division and death
• During the death phase, the number of deaths exceeds the number of new cells formed.

Measure Cell Components
• We can measure growth by increase in mass…
• Measure dry weight of cells
• Assume that relative fraction of the cell components is relatively stable
• Lipid content
• DNA content
• Protein determinations (most common)
![Page 30: Microbial Nutrition, Ecology, and Growth Chapter 7 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc) Permission required for reproduction or display.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f075503460f94c1cde6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusions:
• A standard plate count reflects the number of viable microbes and assumes that each bacterium grows into a single colony; it is reported as the number of colony forming units (CFU)
• In filtration, bacteria are retained on the surface of a membrane filter and then transferred to a culture medium to grow and to be counted.
• In a direct count, the microbes in a measured volume of a bacterial suspension are counted with the use of a specially designed slide.

Conclusions:
• A spectrophotometer is used to determine turbidity by measuring the amount of light that passes through a suspension of cells.
• An indirect way of estimating bacterial numbers is measuring the metabolic activity of a population (for example, acid production or oxygen consumption)
