GENERAL PROPERTIES OF MICROORGANISMS

1. When Bacterial cell and Mitochondria are treated with Cyanide and Carbon monoxide,
Respiration is inhibited.
2. First Virus discovered was Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMC) virus.
3. Energy yielding reaction for Aerobic microorganism is EMP and KDPG.
4. Disease that can be transmitted from one individual to another is called as Communicable
disease.
5. Cell cycle is regulated by Cyclins and CDK
6. Protenecious compounds are converted to Ammonia by Denitrifying bacteria.
7. Cell become Flaccid as it is placed in Hypertonic solution/medium.
8. Mutation causing Substitution of only one Amino acid is called as Mis sense Mutation.
9. Spindle fiber formation process in inhibited by Hydrazine.
10. Respiratory enzymes are also called as Cytochromes.
11. Primary mode of transmission of Polio virus is water and food.
12. Genetic constitution of cell is called as Genotype.
13. ..
14. Cerebral Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum.
15. Ergot disease is caused by Cerveceps.
16. Bacteria requires Vitamin as Growth factors.
17. Trace element for Bacteria is Sodium.
18. Virulence factor of Pneumococcus sp. Is/are Endotoxins.
19. Bacteria that moves in response to Magnetic field is called as Aquaspirillum
Magnetotacticum.
20. Nagler Reaction is used for Detection of Clostridium perfringes.
21. Organisms that lacks definite Cell wall is/are Mycoplasma and L-forms.
22. Mycoplasma do not cause Citrus canker.
23. Mycotoxins are prepared by Fungi.
24. Size, shape and mode of arrangements for bacteria are as
Streptococcus sp. Gram+ arranged in chains

Sarcina Multiples of 8

Anthrax sp. Gram+, Large bacilli

Vibrio and spirila Comma and S shape form

25. Microorganisms characteristics

Bacteria Living organism, unicellular, motile,

microscopic and show reproduction.

Ricketsia Tiny microorganism, enable to grow outside

living cells, retained by bacteria proof filters

Virus Much similar, contains one type of nucleic acid,

do not reproduce by binary fission

Bacteriophage Parasites on bacteria, highly specific to one type
