ENDOTOXIN
-Lipid A component of LPS
-ability to induce fever and activate B lymphocytes
-generally released from lysed or damaged cell
EXOTOXIN
A-B toxin- contains B subunit that binds to host cell receptor and bound to the A
subunit that mediates enzymes activity for toxicity
Cytolitic toxins does not contain A-B subunit but work enzymatically to attack cell
that causes cell lysis
Superantigen toxin stimulate large number of immune response cell resulting to
massive inflammatory response
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION CYCLE
-bacteria multiply in number by Binary Fission
-each daughter cell contains same material of the mother cell
-DNA replication is dependent on temperature
Ex. E. coli 37C 45 mins
Generation time- time interval between one cell division and the next

TRADITIONAL CULTIVATION
Cultivation process of growing microorganisms in culture
-meet its nutritional and environmental requirements
PHASES OF CULTURE MEDIA
1. BROTH (liquid) nutrients dissolved in water
2. AGAR (solid) with solidifying agent
3. BIPHASIC with solid and liquid phase
Broth- 3 mL, Slant- 6 mL, Deep tube- 10 mL
GENERAL CONCEPTS OF CULTURE MEDIA
Types of bacteria by nutrient requirements
1. Fastidious complex or extensive nutritional requirements
- culture media should be supplemented
2. Non-Fastidious basic nutritional requirements
MEDIA CLASSIFICATION AND FUNCTIONS
1. Supportive Media support growth of most non-fastidious organisms
- beef extract, peptone, water, agar
- nutrient agar
2. Enriched Media (non-selective isolation media)
-nutrients supplement added to supportive media for growth of fastidious organisms
- SBA, CAP (chocolate agar plate)
3. Selective Media permits growth of certain bacteria while inhibiting to others
- HE AP, SS AP
TRANSFORMATION
- when a naked DNA molecule from the environment is taken up by the cell and
incorporated into its chromosome in some heritable form
TRANSDUCTION
- the transfer of bacterial genes by viruses (bacteriophages); it occurs as the result
of the reproductive cycle of the virus
CONJUGATION
- the transfer of genetic information via direct cell-cell contact; this process is
mediated by fertility factors (F plasmids)
PHYSICOCHEMICAL FACTORS THAT AFFECT GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF
BACTERIA
1. Temperature
2. pH
3. Water activity/ solutes
4. Availability of oxygen
