` Study Guide for Exam 1 Chapter 1: 1. What is a “microbe”? What groups of organisms are included in this category? Microbes (microorganisms) are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the unaided eye the group includes bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ and microscopic algae‚ viruses Only minority of microorganisms are pathogenic(disease-producing) 2. What are some of the benefits provided by microbes? Decompose organic waste‚ producers in the ecosystem

Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia In a clinical setting signs and symptoms can lead a care taker down a treatment path‚ but if a bacterial infection is suspected‚ a definitive answer from the “lab” is needed before prescribing medications. In this instance a yellow sputum was produced by the patient‚ which will be taken to the lab an analyzed under a microscope. There are three suspect bacteria‚ which are Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia. A discussion of staining procedures‚ as well as

In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water‚ he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes‚ blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work

To identify an unknown bacteria‚ there are many tested that have to be performed. By keeping record of each test it is relatively easy to compare it to the outcome of other organisms in order to better determine which bacteria you have. When performing these tests and recording them I have realized that you may not always get the same results from your unknown as your organism you think it may be. That is why eighteen different tests are performed so that you can compare your results with the table
