three types of
microbes

require oxygen
jelly-like
substance from
seaweed used to
grow bacteria and
fungi
bacteria, fungi,
virus
aerobic
agar
alcohol
microbes which
don’t require
oxygen
medicine taken
internally capable
of killing
pathogenic
bacteria & fungi
type of microbe
which looks shiny
on an agar plate
the way bacteria
reproduce by
splitting into two
anaerobic
antibiotic
bacteria
binary fission
the slimy
protective layer
around bacteria
part of a bacteria
which controls
movement of
materials in & out
of it
part of a bacteria
which gives it it’s
shape
word which means
to grow microbes
(slime) capsule
cell membrane
cell wall
culture
a microorganism
which causes
decay
bacteria which
convert nitrogen
containing
compounds into
nitrogen gas, N2
a powerful
chemical which
kills
microorganisms
DNA stands for
decomposer /
saprophyte
denitrifying
bacteria
disinfectant
deoxyribonucleic
acid
common name for
ethanol
C2H5OH
the spread of an
infection within a
country
rapid increase in
the numbers of
microbes in a
population
process which
converts sugar
into alcohol using
yeast
another name for
anaerobic
respiration in
yeast
epidemic
exponential
growth
fermentation /
anaerobic
respiration
fermentation
type of microbe
which looks fuzzy,
furry or threadlike on an agar
plate
examples of fungi
fine threads
which make up the
structure of fungi
flagellum
fungi
yeast, moulds,
mushrooms,
toadstools
hyphae
part of the fungi
which carries out
extra cellular
digestion
to place the
microbes in a

place to grow
hyphae
incubate /
incubation
tail like
structures which
help bacteria to
move
process of putting
another word used
microbes onto an
for food
agar plate to grow
inoculate /
innoculation
nutrient
the spread of an
infection to other
countries
process by which
microbes feed
an organism which
lives off another
living thing
method of
treating milk by
rapid heating to
reduce bacterial
contamination
pandemic
extra-cellular
digestion
parasite /
parasitic
pasteurisation
a disease causing
microbe

glass used to grow
viruses
bacteria and fungi
why viruses don’t
grow on agar
plates
they need living

meningitis,
tetanus etc are
caused by

incubated upside
down
bacteria
to avoid the
condensation
dripping on agar
viruses
fungi
where fungi and
bacteria come
from that cause
fruit to rot

another form, which
can be reused by
another organism
_____ break down
dead organic matter
containing N / C into
simpler compounds

killed by antibiotics.
Reproduce making more
bacteria with the
ability to survive the
antibiotic. This is
called ___ ___
dead / weakened form of
specific microbe that
induces person’s body to
