grow bacteria and
fungi
bacteria, fungi,
virus
aerobic
agar
alcohol
microbes which
don’t require

which looks shiny
on an agar plate
the way bacteria
reproduce by
splitting into two

which controls
movement of
materials in & out
of it

which gives it it’s
shape

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

kills
microorganisms
DNA stands for
decomposer /
saprophyte

bacteria
disinfectant

country
rapid increase in
the numbers of
microbes in a
population

converts sugar
into alcohol using

respiration
fermentation
type of microbe
which looks fuzzy,
furry or threadlike on an agar
plate
