Term
Is sergei winogradsky in golden age? Who did he oppose?
Definition
Yes in golden age
opposed Koch
Term
Winogradsky studied:
Definition
bacteria in natural habitats
Term
Winogradsky developed:
Definition
enrichment cultures
series of microes instead of specific microbes
Term
winogradsky discovered
Definition
lithotrophs- uses of inorganic cmpd as e- for metabolism
Term
Winogradski column:
Definition
model wetland ecosystem
Term
Where would cyanobacteria be in winogradsky column?
Definition
at top for O2
Term
sulfur loving bacteria use:
Definition
different wavelengths of life to fix carbon phot/auto/chemo/hetero all sorts
Term
sulfate reducing bacteria are
Definition
anaerobes
Term
Coastal shelf regions:
Definition
shoreline-200m depth all water
Term
Pelagic zone region:
Definition
water beyound coastal shelf
Term
Benthos region
Definition
floor sediements (not water)
includes deep sea vents
Term
what two microbes might you find in benthos?
Definition
strain 121 or geogemma barossi
Term
Neuston region:
depth-
contains-
Definition
10 micrometers interface between air/water
has most O2 and light available
contains most microbes
Term
Euphotic zone
Definition
top 100-200m
has light
contains phototrophs
Term
Aphotic zone
Definition
greater than 200m
no light
chemo/ hetero/ litho trophs
High concentration of metals N/S/P
Term
Deep sea vents don't have a lot of -- meaning what type of microbes have to live there
Definition
oxygen
obligate anaerobes (no peroxidase/SOD)
Term
Who lives in Benthos?
Definition
Psychrophiles
Thermophiles
Term
Benthos metabolism:
Definition
Sulfur -2 oxidizers (lithotrophs?)
SO4-2 are reducers and respire anaerobically using so4 as e- acceptor
Term
autotroph in benthos:
Definition
methanogens- makes CH4 via carbon fixing
Term
symbiotic relationship in benthos ex:
Definition
tube worm symbionts (euk) giant tube full of more symbionths- archae/bacteria that within them produce things for survival
Type of relationship??
Term
root surface=
Definition
rizoplane
Term
soil around rhizoplane=
Definition
rhizosphere
Term
Mycorrhizae=
req by-
Definition
fungal infections of plants
most plants
Term
Mycorrhizae relationship w/ plants =
bc-
Definition
Mutualistic: both benifits
Fungi Enhance uptake of water + minerals and bring into plant
Distribute organics wider than w/out fungus
Term
2 types of mycorhizae:
Definition
ecto endo
Term
ectomycorrhizae example:
Definition
ascomycota (truffles) colonize rhizoplane
form root sheath
large surface area
increase absorbtion of nutrients NO2, SO3, water
Term
endomycorrhizae:
Definition
invade cells forming "arbuscles" which penetrates cell wall and membrane
in few species
Term
biogeochemical cycling:
Definition
changes in environmental elemental distrubution
Term
Abiotic =
Definition
air, water, inorganics- N, s, h20
Term
biotic=
Definition
phototrophs hetero
Term
resevoir:
Definition
sink/source of an element (location of element instead of location of microbe)
Term
redox chemistry
Definition
taking e-=oxidation. Reducing is giving e-
Term
aerobic cycling
