|
Name 7 microbes |
Bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa, algae, archaea, lichen |
|
|
Includes bacteria and archaea. They are unicelular |
Prokaryotes |
|
|
Unicellular Prokaryotic (no distinct nucleus) Cell walls composed of carbohydrates and protein complex called peptidoglycan |
Bacteria |
-Can swim using appendages called flagella -reproduce by dividing into 2 equal cells and process called binary fission |

|
mold mycelia |
Bread and fruit |
|
|
Organisms with nucleus containing DNA surrounded by special envelope nuclear membrane |
Eukaryotes |
|
|
Unicellular; get nutrients from living house move by pseudopods, flagella or cilia |
Protozoa |
Amoeba move using extensions of the cytoplasm called pseudopods (false feet) |
|
unicellular; produce oxygen and carbohydrate; can do photosynthesis |
Algae |
|
|
Acellular; Contain one type of nucleic acid DNA or RNA |
Virus |
|
|
Any of the many thallophytic plantlike organisms that consists of a symbiotic association of algae or cyanobacteria and fungu |
Lichen |
Used by humans as food, sources of medicine and dye, provide food supply for the caribou and reindeer |
|
He discovered the cell ; Marked the beginning of cell theory that all living things have cells |
Robert Hooke (1665) |
Microchips lacked striking technique |
|
(1673-1723) First to observe live microorganism using magnifying lens "animalcules" saw it through his single lens microscope |
Anton van Leeuwenhoek |
Author of Spontaneous Generations (life could arise spontaneously from non living matter) |
|
1668 -3 open jars w/ meat (has maggots) -3 closed jars w/ meat (no maggots) -3 open jars w/ gauze (no maggots even air can enter ) |
Francisco Redi |
|
|
1745 -He found that after heating nutrient fluids before pouring into covered flask, the cooled solution soon had microorganisms.
-He claimed that microbes developed spontaneously from the fluids. |
John Needham |
|
|
1765 -Suggested that germs from the air probably entered Needham's solution after they were boiled. -showed that nutrient fluids heated after being sealed in a flask did not develop judicial growth |
Lazzaro Spallanzani |
Responded that vital force is necessary for spontaneous generation were developed by heat. |
|
-Showed the impotence of 0 to life -criticized that there was not enough oxygen in the sealed flasks |
Laurent Lavoisier |
|
|
He said that microbes are present in the air and can contaminate sterile solution but air itself does not create germs |
Louis Pasteur |
Resolved the issue of spontaneous generation |
|
Used phenol (carbolic acid) to kill bacteria in surgical wounds |
Joseph Lister |
|
|
Established a sequence of experimental steps for directly relating a specific microbe to a specific disease known as koch's postulate |
Robert Koch |
|
|
He fired the 1st shot of chemotherapy revolution Salvarsam drug for syphilis |
Paul Ehrlich |
