Microorganisms require about 10 elements in large quantities, in part because they are used to construct carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Several other elements are needed in very small amounts and are parts of enzymes and cofactors. 2. All microorganisms can be placed in one of a few nutritional categories on the basis of their requirements for carbon, energy, and hydrogen atoms or electrons. 3. Nutrient molecules frequently cannot cross selectively permeable plasma membranes through passive diffusion. They must be transported by one of three major mechanisms involving the use of membrane carrier proteins. Eucaryotic microorganisms also employ endocytosis for nutrient uptake. 4. Culture media are needed to grow microorganisms in the laboratory and to carry out specialized procedures like microbial identification, water and food analysis, and the isolation of particular microorganisms. Many different media are available for these and other purposes. 5. Pure cultures can be obtained through the use of spread plates, streak plates, or pour plates and are required for the careful study of an individual microbial species. Chapter Outlines include all major headings in the chapter with section and page numbers. This helps the reader quickly locate topics of interest. Chapter Concepts briefly summarize some of the most important concepts the student should master. 7.1 Definition of Frequently Used Terms 137 We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases. —Sir Thomas Browne The chapters in Part II are concerned with the nutrition, growth, and control of microorganisms. This chapter addresses the subject of the nonspecific control and destruction of microorganisms, a topic of immense practical importance. Although many microorganisms are beneficial and necessary for human well-being, microbial activities may have undesirable consequences, such as food spoilage and disease. Therefore it is essential to be able to kill a wide variety of microorganisms or inhibit their growth to minimize their destructive effects. The goal is twofold: (1) to destroy pathogens and prevent their transmission, and (2) to reduce or eliminate microorganisms responsible for the contamination of water, food, and other substances. This chapter focuses on the control of microorganisms by nonspecific physical and chemical agents. Chapter 35 introduces the use of antimicrobial chemotherapy to control microbial disease. From the beginning of recorded history, people have practiced disinfection and sterilization, even though the existence of microorganisms was long unsuspected. The Egyptians used fire to sterilize infectious material and disinfectants to embalm bodies, and the Greeks burned sulfur to fumigate buildings. Mosaic law commanded the Hebrews to burn any clothing suspected of being contaminated with the leprosy bacterium. Today the ability to destroy microorganisms is no less important: it makes possible the aseptic techniques used in microbiological research, the preservation of food, and the prevention of disease. The techniques described in this chapter are also essential to personal safety in both the laboratory and hospital (Box 7.1). There are several ways to control microbial growth that have not been included in this chapter, but they should be considered for a more complete picture of how microorganisms are controlled. Chapter 6 describes the effects of osmotic activity, pH, temperature, O2, and radiation on microbial growth and survival (see pp. 121–31). Chapter 41 discusses the use of physical and chemical agents in food preservation (see pp. 000–00). 7.1 Definition of Frequently Used Terms Terminology is especially important when the control of microorganisms is discussed because words like disinfectant and antiseptic often are used loosely. The situation is even more confusing because a particular treatment can either inhibit growth or kill depending on the conditions. The ability to control microbial populations on inanimate objects, like eating utensils and surgical instruments, is of considerable practical importance. Sometimes it is necessary to eliminate all microorganisms from an object, whereas only partial destruction of the microbial population may be required in other situations. Sterilization [Latin sterilis, unable to produce offspring or barren] is the process by which all living cells, viable spores, viruses, and viroids (see chapter 18) are either destroyed or removed from an object or habitat. A sterile object is totally free of viable microorganisms, spores, and other infectious agents. When sterilization is achieved by a chemical agent, the chemical is called a sterilant. In Personnel safety should be of major concern in all microbiology laboratories. It has been estimated that thousands of infections have been acquired in the laboratory, and many persons have died because of such infections. The two most common laboratoryacquired bacterial diseases are typhoid fever and brucellosis. Most deaths have come from typhoid fever (20 deaths) and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (13 deaths). Infections by fungi (histoplasmosis) and viruses (Venezuelan equine encephalitis and hepatitis B virus from monkeys) are also not uncommon. Hepatitis is the most frequently reported laboratory-acquired viral infection, especially in people working in clinical laboratories and with blood. In a survey of 426 U.S. hospital workers, 40% of those in clinical chemistry and 21% in microbiology had antibodies to hepatitis B virus, indicating their previous exposure (though only about 19% of these had disease symptoms). Efforts have been made to determine the causes of these infections in order to enhance the development of better preventive measures. Although often it is not possible to determine the direct cause of infection, Box 7.1 Safety in the Microbiology Laboratory some major potential hazards are clear. One of the most frequent causes of disease is the inhalation of an infectious aerosol. An aerosol is a gaseous suspension of liquid or solid particles that may be generated by accidents and laboratory operations such as spills, centrifuge accidents, removal of closures from shaken culture tubes, and plunging of contaminated loops into a flame. Accidents with hypodermic syringes and needles, such as self-inoculation and spraying solutions from the needle, also are common. Hypodermics should be employed only when necessary and then with care. Pipette accidents involving the mouth are another major source of infection; pipettes should be filled with the use of pipette aids and operated in such a way as to avoid creating aerosols. People must exercise care and common sense when working with microorganisms. Operations that might generate infectious aerosols should be carried out in a biological safety cabinet. Bench tops and incubators should be disinfected regularly. Autoclaves must be maintained and operated properly to ensure adequate sterilization. Laboratory personnel should wash their hands thoroughly before and after finishing work. Boxed Readings are found in most chapters and describe items of interest that are not essential to the primary thrust of the chapter. Topics include currently exciting research areas, the practical impact of microbial activities, items of medical significance, historical anecdotes, and descriptions of extraordinary organisms

Throughout history, spices have been used as preservatives and to cover up the smell/taste of food that is slightly spoiled. The success of some spices led to a magical, ritualized use of many of them and possession of spices was often limited to priests or other powerful members of the community. a. Choose a spice and trace its use geographically and historically. What is its common-day use today? b. Spices grow and tend to be used predominantly in warmer climates. Explain. 2. Design an experiment to determine whether an antimicrobial agent is acting as a cidal or static agent. How would you determine whether an agent is suitable for use as an antiseptic rather than as a disinfectant? 3. Suppose that you are testing the effectiveness of disinfectants with the phenol coefficient test and obtained the following results. What disinfectant can you safely say is the most effective? Can you determine its phenol coefficient from these results? Chapter Summaries are a series of brief numbered statements designed to serve more as a study guide than as a complete, detailed summary of the chapter. Useful tables and figures are cited in the summary. Key Terms is a list of all boldfaced terms and is provided at the end of the chapter to emphasize the most significant facts and concepts. Each term is page-referenced to the page on which the term is first introduced in the chapter. 224 Chapter 10 Metabolism:The Use of Energy in Biosynthesis Key Terms acyl carrier protein (ACP) 220 adenine 217 anaplerotic reactions 216 assimilatory nitrate reduction 211 assimilatory sulfate reduction 210 autolysins 223 bactoprenol 221 Calvin cycle 207 carboxysomes 207 CO2 fixation 216 cytosine 217 dissimilatory sulfate reduction 210 fatty acid 218 fatty acid synthetase 218 gluconeogenesis 209 glutamate dehydrogenase 211 glutamate synthase 211 glutamine synthetase 211 glyoxylate cycle 216 guanine 217 macromolecule 205 monomers 205 nitrate reductase 212 nitrite reductase 212 nitrogenase 213 nitrogen fixation 212 nucleoside 217 nucleotide 217 phosphatase 210 phosphatidic acid 220 phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate 210 purine 216 pyrimidine 216 ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase 208 self-assembly 207 thymine 217 transaminases 221 transpeptidation 223 triacylglycerol 220 turnover 205 uracil 217 uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) 209 Summary 1. In biosynthesis or anabolism, cells use energy to construct complex molecules from smaller, simpler precursors. 2. Many important cell constituents are macromolecules, large polymers constructed of simple monomers. 3. Although many catabolic and anabolic pathways share enzymes for the sake of efficiency, some of their enzymes are separate and independently regulated. 4. Macromolecular components often undergo self-assembly to form the final molecule or complex. 5. Photosynthetic CO2 fixation is carried out by the Calvin cycle and may be divided into three phases: the carboxylation phase, the reduction phase, and the regeneration phase (figure 10.4). Three ATPs and two NADPHs are used during the incorporation of one CO2. 6. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose and related sugars from nonglucose precursors. 7. Glucose, fructose, and mannose are gluconeogenic intermediates or made directly from them; galactose is synthesized with nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. Bacteria and algae synthesize glycogen and starch from adenosine diphosphate glucose. 8. Phosphorus is obtained from inorganic or organic phosphate. 9. Microorganisms can use cysteine, methionine, and inorganic sulfate as sulfur sources. Sulfate is reduced to sulfide during assimilatory sulfate reduction. 10. Ammonia nitrogen can be directly assimilated by the activity of transaminases and either glutamate dehydrogenase or the glutamine synthetase–glutamate synthase system (figures 10.10–10.12). 11. Nitrate is incorporated through assimilatory nitrate reduction catalyzed by the enzymes nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase. 12. Nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the nitrogenase complex. Atmospheric molecular nitrogen is reduced to ammonia, which is then incorporated into amino acids (figures 10.14 and 10.16). 13. Amino acid biosynthetic pathways branch off from the central amphibolic pathways (figure 10.17). 14. Anaplerotic reactions replace TCA cycle intermediates to keep the cycle in balance while it supplies biosynthetic precursors. Many anaplerotic enzymes catalyze CO2 fixation reactions. The glyoxylate cycle is also anaplerotic. 15. Purines and pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases found in DNA, RNA, and other molecules. The purine skeleton is synthesized beginning with ribose 5-phosphate and initially produces inosinic acid. Pyrimidine biosynthesis starts with carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate, and ribose is added after the skeleton has been constructed. 16. Fatty acids are synthesized from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA, and NADPH by the fatty acid synthetase system. During synthesis the intermediates are attached to the acyl carrier protein. Double bonds can be added in two different ways. 17. Triacylglycerols are made from fatty acids and glycerol phosphate. Phosphatidic acid is an important intermediate in this pathway. 18. Phospholipids like phosphatidylethanolamine can be synthesized from phosphatidic acid by forming CDP-diacylglycerol, then adding an amino acid. 19. Peptidoglycan synthesis is a complex process involving both UDP derivatives and the lipid carrier bactoprenol, which transports NAM-NAG-pentapeptide units across the cell membrane. Cross-links are formed by transpeptidation (figures 10.28 and 10.29). 20. Peptidoglycan synthesis occurs in discrete zones in the cell wall. Existing peptidoglycan is selectively degraded by autolysins so new material can be added. Additional Reading 225 Additional Reading General Caldwell, D. R. 2000.

Discuss the relationship between catabolism and anabolism. How does anabolism depend on catabolism? 2. Suppose that a microorganism was growing on a medium that contained amino acids but no sugars. In general terms how would it synthesize the pentoses and hexoses it required? 3. Activated carriers participate in carbohydrate, lipid, and peptidoglycan synthesis. Briefly describe these carriers and their roles. 4. Which two enzymes discussed in the chapter appear to be specific to the Calvin cycle? 5. Why can phosphorus be directly incorporated into cell constituents whereas sulfur and nitrogen often cannot? 6. What is unusual about the synthesis of peptides that takes place during peptidoglycan construction? Critical Thinking Questions 1. In metabolism important intermediates are covalently attached to carriers, as if to mark these as important so the cell does not lose track of them. Think about a hotel placing your room key on a very large ring. List a few examples of these carriers and indicate whether they are involved primarily in anabolism or catabolism. 2. Intermediary carriers are in a limited supply— when they cannot be recycled because of a metabolic block, serious consequences ensue. Think of some examples of these consequences. Additional Readings are provided for further study. Most are reviews, monographs, and Scientific American articles rather than original research papers. Publications cited in these reviews introduce sufficiently interested students to the research literature. References through early 2001 have been included. The reference sections are organized into topical groups that correspond to the major sections in each chapter. This arrangement provides ease of access for students interested in particular topics.

Thus DNA gently isolated from chromatin looks like a string of beads. The stretch of DNA between the beads or nucleosomes, the linker region, varies in length from 14 to over 100 base pairs. Histone H1 appears to associate with the linker regions to aid the folding of DNA into more complex chromatin structures (figure 11.9b). When folding reaches a maximum, the chromatin takes the shape of the visible chromosomes seen in eucaryotic cells during mitosis and meiosis (see figure 4.20). 1. What are nucleic acids? How do DNA and RNA differ in structure? 2. Describe in some detail the structure of the DNA double helix. What does it mean to say that the two strands are complementary and antiparallel? 3. What are histones and nucleosomes? Describe the way in which DNA is organized in the chromosomes of procaryotes and eucaryotes. 11.3 DNA Replication The replication of DNA is an extraordinarily important and complex process, one upon which all life depends. We shall first discuss the overall pattern of DNA synthesis and then examine the mechanism of DNA replication in greater depth. Patterns of DNA Synthesis Watson and Crick published their description of DNA structure in April 1953. Almost exactly one month later, a second paper appeared in which they suggested how DNA might be replicated. They hypothesized that the two strands of the double helix unwind from one another and separate (figure 11.10). Free nucleotides now line up along the two parental strands through complementary base pairing—A with T, G with C (figure 11.7). When these nucleotides are linked together by one or more enzymes, two replicas result, each containing a parental DNA strand and a newly formed strand. Research in subsequent years has proved Watson and Crick’s hypothesis correct. Replication patterns are somewhat different in procaryotes and eucaryotes. For example, when the circular DNA chromosome of E. coli is copied, replication begins at a single point, the origin. Synthesis occurs at the replication fork, the place at which the DNA helix is unwound and individual strands are replicated. Two replication forks move outward from the origin until they have copied the whole replicon, that portion of the genome that contains an origin and is replicated as a unit. When the replication forks move around the circle, a structure shaped like the Greek letter theta () is formed (figure 11.11). Finally, since the bacterial chromosome is a single replicon, the forks meet on the other side and two separate chromosomes are released. 11.3 DNA Replication 235 Parental helix G C A T G C T A T A G C A T A T A C G C G A T A T G G C A T T A C G C T A A T G C New New Parental 5′ 3′ 3′ 5′ 3′ 5′ Parental A T A T G C A T T A C G C T A A T G C Replication fork Replicas G Figure 11.10 Semiconservative DNA Replication.
