Microbial growth & Factors affecting growth

A . Arun Lecturer in Microbiology , Thiagarajar college , Madurai

Growth • In Physical term ØIncrease in size or number of Individual cell 

• Many factors Ø Determine the cell to divide or grow

§ Physical factors – Environmental conditions, Temperature, O2, Pressure etc. § Chemical Factors pH, nutrient etc.

Growth in Prokaryotes • Various biochemical & physical events •  

From

time it derived from parental cell

  

Until it divides in to two daughter cells

   

This period of time is called Bacterial cell cycle

Bacterial cell cycle • Characterized by Number of event q Growth – Coordinated synthesis of macromolecules as well as cellular components

q Septum formation q Division     

Binary fission

Binary fission

Growth Phases Microbial populations

    

Batch culture

Continuous culture

  

Cells grown in batch nutrient



environment

Continuous nutrient environment

  

Growth curve

Cell have various Growth phases

Growth curve

Phases of growth 

Phases of growth

Lag phase   

Following Inoculation environment

Require some time to adjust to their new

  

Lag

Refers lag in cell division

 

During Lag

   

 

Increase

1. in size, Produce enzymes to metabolize the nutrients. 2. Synthesize RNA and Protein.

DNA remain constant

Lag Phase 

Length of Lag phase   

  

Is related to Physiological and genetic state of cell at the time of inoculation.

Cells Nutritionally starved If from nutritionally rich

long Lag phase short lag phase

Log phase (Exponential phase) • Phase at which cell division is maintained at a constant and maximum rate.  e.g., In E.coli Nutrient rich  Take 30 min to divide medium 

e.g., In E.coli

 

Less nutrient rich medium



Take 60 min to divide

Log phase • Doubling time Remain constant in log phase Log Phase – said to be balanced growth In Log Phase – Cell population doubles .So also DNA , RNA & Protein In Batch Culture: 

 

No nutrient enter No waste product removed

At one time:  Reach a point – rate of growth slows down Due to the factors such as : Over crowding, Nutrietion depletion , pH etc End of the Log Phase : Trophophase – Primary metabolites produced 



Stationary phase • Number of cells – Constant.  Called as – Unbalanced growth 



l components & macromolecules

Some cells

Synthesized at different rate

Divide and others die

Stationary phase



Cells which are alive

produce

2ndary metabolites and wastes

Idiophase

Death or Decline phase

Death of the cell increased

Continuous culture • In batch culture 

it can not control the factors (Nutrient supply & waste removal)which decrease the growth rate.



To Overcome this problem –  Continuous culture system can be used. q Primary purpose of continuous culture 



To maintain cell population at constant rate

 

The devised used – Chemo stat & turbidostat



Factors affecting growth •

In addition to Chemical needs – also affected by physical nature of environment

• • Environmental factors – Temperature , pH, Osmotic pressure , radiation • • •  Influence the growth of the particular organism 

Temperature Growth Temperature

Influenced by Enzymatic reactions Plays Imp role Max Growth

Above (*)

Enzyme get denatured

Below (*)

Enzyme get inactivated

Temperature

Optimum growth temperature (*)

Based on Optimum growth temperature

Psychrophiles Mesophiles Thermopiles Hyper thermopiles

Psychrophiles • Grow • Found

Between 0°

to 20°c

Antarctic, cold soil, Stream, Ocean water, Rivers, Lake

mud.

• Role

Biodegradation in cold water lake, refrigerated foods.

Ribosome

Psychrophiles High Temperature

Unstable above 20°

protected from cold – unsaturated fatty acids Disrupt fatty acid Lysis

Cell content leak

Thermophiles • Grow

Between 40°C to 80°C. Some grow even in 90°C to 100°C.  

Some G+ / G-Bacilli, Cyanobacteria, Photosynthetic bacteria

Thermophiles



- Present in hot springs - Have normal cell components as is mesophiles 

With stand High temperature

Cell membrane components

Presence of polar amino acids in interior of cell

More branched, longer and saturated fatty acid

Mesophiles • Most Microbes Mesophiles • Temp Range - Between 25° to 40°c • Optimum Temp - 37°c

Osmotic pressure         

Food with 12% salt No Microbes grow

Hydrostatic pressure



In every 10 meter

One atm. P increase

Hydrostatic pressure •

Barobiology – Study the effect of Pressure on Living things.



Barophiles/ Baro tolerant

Non Barophiles

Live in High pressure

Have gas vacuoles

Hydrogen ion concentration

Hydrogen ion concentration

Buffer system used

Hydrogen ion concentration Acidophiles

Types Basophiles

Neutrophiles

don’t have peptidoglycon layer Have Polyhexagonal array of protein for stability Fungi- Grow in pH 5 Bacteria - Grow in pH 7

Electromagnetic radiation

Microbes grow - Visible Range

Electromagnetic radiation

Phototrophs

Use light energy
