5You married a mormon and took all eight of your kids under 6 years old to the lake when you moved to Salt Lake City. The lake has a salinity range of 5-27% NaCl (according to wikipedia), but its the end of the summer so the lake is pretty shallow so it is probably on the higher end of the range currently. Your daughters brought back a mason jar full of lake water to give you for your 24th birthday but by the time you opened it, there was a large amount of bacteria growing in this closed jar. How would you classify this organism?
- Aextreme halophile; anaerobic
- Bosmolerant; aerobic
- Chalophile; aerobic
6[blank_start]Halobacterium[blank_end] [blank_start]salinarium[blank_end] is an example of an extreme halophile.
- AHalobacterium
- Bsalinarium
7What can you learn from the Fluid thioglycollate medium test?
- Aoxygen requirements
- Bfermentation
- CGram stain
- Dtemperature requirements
8[blank_start]Resazurin[blank_end] is the oxygen indicator in the fluid thioglycollate medium.
- AResazurin
9If there is low osmotic pressure inside the cell, but high osmotic pressure in its environment, where will water flow?
- ANet flow into the cell
- BNo net flow
- CNet flow out of the cell
10[blank_start]Defined medium[blank_end]: amount of every ingredient is known
[blank_start]Undefined medium[blank_end]: also known as complex- ADefined medium
- BUndefined medium
11Label each tube with the type organism that would have that growth pattern.

- Aaerotolerant anaerobe
- Bfacultative anaerobe
- Cstrict anaerobe
- Dstrict aerobe
- Emicroaerophile

- BDisinfection
- CSanitization
- DAutoclaving
13[blank_start]Disinfection[blank_end]
• Intermediate level of protection
• Kill large numbers if not all of pathogens
• Does not kill large numbers of spores- ADisinfection
14[blank_start]Disinfectants[blank_end] - used on surfaces
• Bleach, Lysol
• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation
[blank_start]Antiseptics[blank_end] - reduce pathogens on or in living tissue
• Iodine, chlorhexadine, alcohols- ADisinfectants
- BAntiseptics
15How does UV impact DNA?
- Athymine dimers
- Bdistorts DNA, impacting replication and transcription
- Cdenatures completely
- Dturns it into RNA
16How do organisms repair damage from UV?
[blank_start]Light repair[blank_end] – [blank_start]photoreactivation[blank_end]
• Requires visible light
• [blank_start]Uses enzyme photolyase to reverse damage[blank_end]
[blank_start]Dark repair[blank_end] – [blank_start]excision repair[blank_end]
• Remove damaged bases and some surrounding
• [blank_start]Refill gap with correct bases[blank_end]- ALight repair
