Microbial Physiology
Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.
Chemotaxis
The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.

If you are a thermophilic endospore forming bacterium what would be the appropriate and economically wise method for your preservation? Which culture collection centers will you select and why?
- 3. One gram of soil was suspended in 9 ml saline and thoroughly mixed. From this suspension, 4 serial, 1:10 dilutions were made. 200 hundred microliters of each of the last four serial dilutions were used for spread plating on TY media, resulting in 5600 colonies, 412 colonies, 54 colonies and 8 colonies. What do you calculate as the bacterial concentration in the soil? (For your information 1 gram = 1 ml)1. What is the appropriate and economically wise preservation method for a thermophilic endospore forming bacterium? Discuss and explain it comprehensively, and please, do not just copy from somewhere. Choose among this methods: periodic transfer to fresh media, overlaying cultures with mineral oil, freeze-drying, cryopreservation, drying, sterile distilled water2. You use tubes to test aerotolerance of bacteria. From your samples you have 3 results: A. Bacteria growing on the surface. B. Bacteria growing throughout the tube, the agar shows cracks. C. Bacteria growing about 5 mm below the surface. Please interpret each bacterial result. (Give the bacteria an oxygen classification, explain what classification means and interpret the cracks in the agar.)
