DEFINITION OF MICROBIAL GROWTH
• NUMBER OF CELLS
• NOT CELL SIZE
• e.g. Growing microbes = increase in numbers, accumulating colonies

THE GROWTH CURVE
Monday, September 3, 2012
![Page 69: Biology 120 lectures for 2nd exam 2012 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555752a3d8b42a63448b4edc/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
OBTAINING A GROWTH CURVE
• The Growth Curve can be obtained via a Batch Culture
• Microorganisms are cultivated in a liquid medium and grown as a closed system
• Incubated in a closed culture vessel with a single batch of medium and NO fresh medium provided during incubation
• SCENARIO: Nutrient concentration decline and concentrations of waste increase during the incubation period

1. THE LAG PHASE
• No immediate increase in cell mass or cell number
• Cell is synthesizing new components
• Cells retool, replicate their DNA, begin to increase in mass and finally divide
Monday, September 3, 2012
![Page 71: Biology 120 lectures for 2nd exam 2012 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555752a3d8b42a63448b4edc/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
1. THE LAG PHASE
• The necessity of a lag phase:
• Cells may be old and ATP, essential cofactors and ribosomes depleted
• must be synthesized first before growth can begin
• Medium maybe different from the one the microorganism was growing previously
• new enzymes would be needed to use different nutrients
• Microorganisms have been injured and require time to recover

SHORT LAG PHASE
• SHORT LAG PHASE (or even absent)
• Young, vigorously growing exponential phase culture is transferred to fresh medium of same composition

LONG LAG PHASE• LONG LAG PHASE
• Inoculum is from an old culture
• Inoculum is from a refrigerated source

2. THE LOG/ EXPONENTIAL PHASE
• Microorganisms are growing and dividing at the maximal rate possible given their genetic potential, nature of medium and conditions under which they are growing
• Rate of growth is constant: doubling at regular intervals
• The population is most uniform in terms of chemical and physiological properties
• Why the curve is smooth:
• Because each individual divides at a slightly different moment

3. STATIONARY PHASE
• Population growth ceases and the growth curve becomes horizontal (around 109 cells on the average)
•Why enter the stationary phase:
• Nutrient limitation (slow growth)
• Oxygen limitation
• Accumulation of toxic waste products

4. DEATH PHASE
• Detrimental environmental changes like nutrient depletion and build up of toxic wastes lead to the decline in the number of viable cells
• Usually logarithmic (constant every hour)
• DEATH: no growth and reproduction upon transfer to new medium
• NOTE: Death rate may decrease after the population has been drastically reduced due to resistant cells

MICROBIAL METABOLISM
• IMPORTANT:
• most of the biochemical processes of bacteria also occur in eukaryotes
• BUT...the reactions that are unique to bacteria are fascinating because they allow microorganisms to do things we cannot do
• e.g. cellulose metabolism, petroleum metabolism or just iron, just hydrogen gas or just ammonia

DEFINITION
• METABOLISM: The sum of the chemical reactions in an organism
• CATABOLISM: The energy-releasing processes
• ANABOLISM: The energy-using processes
Monday, September 3, 2012
![Page 88: Biology 120 lectures for 2nd exam 2012 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555752a3d8b42a63448b4edc/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
THE ROLE OF ATP
• facilitates the coupling of anabolic and catabolic reactions
• In Catabolism: some energy is transferred to and trapped in ATP and the rest given off as heat
• In Anabolism: ATP provides the energy for synthesis and the rest given off as heat

ENZYMES & THE COLLISION THEORY
• Collision Theory: explains how chemical reactions occur and how certain factors affect the rates of those reactions
• BASIS: all atoms, ions and molecules are continuously moving and colliding with one another
• THUS: the energy transferred by the particles in the collision can disrupt their electron structures enough so that chemical bonds are broken or new bonds are formed

• use nitrate ion form nitrite as final electron acceptor
• e.g. Desulfovibrio
• use sulfate from hydrogen sulfide as final electron acceptor
• e.g. other bacteria
• use carbonate from methane
• The total ATP yield is less than in aerobic respiration because only part of the Krebs cycle operates under anaerobic conditions (microbes tend to grow more slowly)

• Lipases hydrolyze lipids into glycerol and fatty acids
• Fatty acids and other hydrocarbons are catabolized by beta oxidation
• Beta oxidation produces two carbon units that are linked to CoA to make acetyl-CoA
• Catabolic products can be further broken down in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

PROTEIN CATABOLISM• Before amino acids can be catabolized, they must be converted
to various substances that enter the Krebs cycle or glycolysis
• Transamination (transfer of NH2), decarboxylation (removal of COOH), and dehydrogenation (H2) reactions convert the amino acids to be catabolized into substances that enter the glycolytic pathway or Krebs cycle

ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS
• Direct Assessment
• Time-Dose Relationship: The effect of the treatment depends both on concentration used and exposure time
• In order to kill all the cells in a particular culture, one can hold the time constant and vary the dose or keep the dose constant and vary the time
• e.g., A high dose for a short time will have the same effect as a low dose for a longer period of time

ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS
• Direct Assessment
• Death Point: Treatment dose necessary to sterilize the system in a given amount of time
• Thermal death point = temperature necessary to sterilize a culture in 10 min.
• Death Time: Time necessary to sterilize a system with a particular treatment
• Thermal death time = time in min. necessary to sterilize the culture when a particular temperature is applied

ASSESSMENT OF
EFFECTIVENESS
• Direct Assessment
• Decimal Reduction Time (D-value): Exposure time at a given temperature needed to reduce the number of viable microbes by 90% (1 log)
• Most precise way to characterize heat sterilization
• Plot of log (number of viable cells) vs. time of heating (min)
• Death rate increases with increasing temperature
• z value in the change in temperature required to reduce the D value to 1/10 of its value

ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS
• Indirect Assessment
• Sterility Indicators: Use certain bacterial endospores
• The most durable life forms known. e.g., Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores are capable of surviving 5 min in an autoclave (121°C; 15 psi)

1. HEAT
• All microbes have a maximum and a minimum temperature for growth
• Almost all macromolecules lose their structure (i.e., denature) and ability to function at very high temperatures
•Moist or dry heat
Monday, September 3, 2012
![Page 172: Biology 120 lectures for 2nd exam 2012 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555752a3d8b42a63448b4edc/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)
1. HEAT: Moist Heat
• Moist heat is more effective than dry heat because
• It penetrates cellular structures better
• It facilitates unfolding of proteins, degrading DNA and disrupting membranes
• It causes hydrogen bond rearrangement

1. HEAT: Dry Heat
• Dry heat is basically an oxidative process that denatures proteins and DNA disrupts membranes

![Page 174: Biology 120 lectures for 2nd exam 2012 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555752a3d8b42a63448b4edc/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
WHICH TO CHOOSE: Dry over Wet
• Too high a temperature may destroy a food product or render a medium useless
• Wet heat may cause metal instruments to rust
• The presence of certain compounds (e.g., protein, sugars and fats) may increase the resistance of cells to heat
• Microbial death is more rapid at acidic pH
• High concentrations of sugars, proteins and fats decrease heat penetration
• Dry cells and endospores are more resistant than wet cells

PASTEURIZATION• used to kill harmful organisms in food or beverages and to prevent
spoilage
• does not sterilize (NOTE: sterilization would destroy desirable properties of many foods and beverages)
• 2 Processes:
• LTH (low-temperature-hold) or bulk pasteurization: 62.8°C for 30 min
• HTST (high temperature-short time) or flash pasteurization: 71.7°C for 15s
• This method is preferable for milk because it alters the taste less, kills heat resistant microbes more effectively and can be done on a continuous flow bases
