Growth & Culture of Bacteria

Binary Division • 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to ?

Chapter 6

Phases of Growth • Lag – Adapt to nutrients

• Log – Active growth

• Stationary – Death = Growth rate

• Death – Nutrients consumed – pH too low (why?)

• Optimize curves in production

Measuring Growth • Direct Counts – Petroff-Hauser Chamber – Pro’s vs. Con’s

• Serial Dilution – 10-fold serial dilutions – Pro’s vs. Con’s

• MPN (Most Probable Number) – Put 10, 1, and 0.1 ml into 10-mls broth • Repeat 5 times per volume

– Statistical accurate sampling – Public Health Standards are written for MPN Chapter 6

Measuring Growth-cont’d • Turbidity – Spectrophotometer – Scale • %Transmittance • Optical Density or Absorbance

• Filtration – 0.45 - 0.2 um sizes – Grid Pattern on Filter – Standards for Public Health • 0 E.coli / 100 ml of water

– Also used for sterilization Chapter 6

Physical Factors: -philes • pH – Acido-, Neutro-, Alkaliphiles – Canned foods-Hot Pack vs. Pressure Cooking • High Acids- tomatoes • Neutro-corn, beans, meat

• Temperature – Psychro-, Meso- Thermophiles – Growth Curve – Problems Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Note the drop-off as you get closer to the Optimum!

Chapter 6

What effect would have a fever have on Mesophiles??

Chapter 6

Temperature Problems • Thermophiles – Hot tubs-public – Heat Resistant Enzymes in PCR

• Psychrophiles – Cold food (growth in transit) – Listeria grows in hot dogs

Chapter 6

Salt Concentration • Halophiles – Great Salt Lake – Salt Pork

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Physical Factors: cont’d • Moisture – Beef Jerky – Lyophilization (Freeze Dry)

• Oxygen – Aerboes vs. Anaerobes + ------ + ----------

• Osmotic Pressure – Pseudomonas grows in distilled water – Jelly- Jams (high sugar) – Salt Pork (high salt) Chapter 6

Nutritional Factors • Carbon Source – Auto- or Hetero– CO2 or Organic compounds

• Nitrogen Source – NO3- ==> NO2 ==> NH3 to Amino Acids ==> Proteins

• Sulfur • Phosphorus • Trace Elements – Fe, some required – Host Sideophores bind Fe Chapter 6

More -trophs • Auxotrophs – Can live on simple compounds • NO3-, Glucose • Make all Amino Acids, Vitamins, etc.

• Prototrophs – Require complex compounds • Vitamins, Amino Acids • Fastidious • Most Pathogens

Chapter 6

Types of Media • Complex Medium – Peptones, Yeast Extract – Fastidious – Prototrophs

• Synthetic Medium – Minimal Media – Auxotrophs

Chapter 6

Exoenzymes • • • •

Secreted into environment Catabolize food products Protease, DNAase, Amylase, Lipase Used in identification

Chapter 6

Oxygen Requirments • Classification – – – –

Aerobic Anaerobic Falcultative Anaerobic Microaerophilic

• Outline for Topic – Media – Cultivation – Oxygen Toxicity Chapter 6

Flluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM)

• Peptones, Yeast Extracts, Glucose • Thioglycollate-binds O2 • Agar-slow diffusion of O2 • Rezaruin- O2 indicator

Chapter 6

FTM Media

Chapter 6

Growth Chambers • Candle Jars – Microaerophillic – Gas-Paks – Anaerobes & Faculatative Anaerobes

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Why Anerobes vs. Aerobes • O2 is reactive-toxic (binds e-’s) • Requires 4 e-’s to form water • Intermediates are Free Radicals – – – –

Free Radicals steal e-’s Oxidization of compounds Loss of energy from compounds DNA molecule breaks
