14Physiology
[blank_start]Nutritional requirements[blank_end]
e.g. Source of C and N (gaseous or ‘fixed’)
[bacteria that can fix N2 are termed [blank_start]diazotrophs[blank_end]]. Growth factor requirements (vitamins, amino acids, etc.). [These are [blank_start]auxotrophs[blank_end]].
[blank_start]Light[blank_end]
Important for photosynthetic microbes (some obligate, some facultative [blank_start]phototrophs)[blank_end].
Most bacteria sensitive to UV light – however, some species particularly resistant (e.g. [blank_start]Deinococcus[blank_end] species and novel species recently found only in the stratosphere).
[blank_start]Temperature[blank_end]
Microbes can be classified as psychrophiles, [blank_start]mesophiles[blank_end] or thermophiles depending on their optimum growth temperature- Adiazotrophs
- Bauxotrophs
- Cphototrophs)
- DDeinococcus
- Emesophiles
- FNutritional requirements
- GLight

All marine organisms are moderate halophiles (about 3.5% salt), extreme halophiles found in salt lakes (e.g. Solar Lake, Sinai).- ATrue
- BFalse
18able to survive in the human stomach (~ pH 2)
- AHelicobacter pylori

22Pressure
Many microbes inhabit deep lakes, oceans - every [blank_start]10 m[blank_end] depth increases pressure by [blank_start]1[blank_end] atmosphere. [blank_start]90%[blank_end] of ocean water is >[blank_start]1000[blank_end] m down ( therefore > 100 atmospheres).
Deep waters contain [blank_start]lower[blank_end] concentrations of bacteria (but still 103 - 105 per ml)
Most deep-sea bacteria are [blank_start]barophiles[blank_end] - they grow best at high pressures. A few are [blank_start]extreme barophiles[blank_end] - they will not grow at normal atmospheric pressure.
Why? Pressure affects enzyme-substrate [blank_start]binding[blank_end], membrane transport, etc.
Most [blank_start]barophiles[blank_end] also psychrophiles (deep ocean water at a constant 2-3 °C)- A10 m

35Determining the sequence of a bacterial genome is still a major undertaking - not what you would do initially to characterise a new isolate. However, complete genome sequences can be used as reference points when characterising new isolates.
- ATrue
- BFalse
36ii. [blank_start]DNA hybridisation.[blank_end]
A physical technique that measures the overall sequence similarity between an unknown strain and a reference strain. Used in the definition of a bacterial species: >70% hybridisation = same species.
iii. [blank_start]Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).[blank_end]
Simple in vitro technique to amplify short, specific DNA sequences. Now used regularly to diagnose bacterial/viral infections.
iv. [blank_start]Labelled nucleic acid probes.[blank_end]
