    Introduction to
    Microbial Physiology

    What is microbial
    physiology?
    Definition of physiology:
    The science of normal functions and phenomena
    of living things, in other words the science of the
    processes of life (Concise Oxford Dictionary)
    A science which treats of the underlying physical
    and chemical foundations of vital processes
    (Science Encyclopedia)
    The study of the structure and functions of living
    organisms and their components. At the cellular
    level, a broad definition will encompass cell
    structure, metabolism, genetics, and growth

    What is microbial
    physiology?
    Definition of microorganisms:
    Any organism of microscopic dimensions
    Microorganisms range from extremely small, unicellular
    forms such as bacteria to larger forms such as
    protozoa, fungi, and algae
    Representative of microorganisms:

    Gram negative bacteria :


    Gram positive bacteria :
    Slime mould :
    Yeast :
    Filamentous fungus :
    Algae :
    Protozoa :

    Why do we focus on
    bacteria?
    Prokaryotes: Bacteria / Archeae
    Unity in biochemistry : most of the metabolic
    pathways that exist in the prokaryotes are the
    same as those in all living organisms
    Interesting phenomena:
    High rates of metabolism and reproduction
    Diversity: adaptation to different habitat and
    nutrients (some extreme conditions)
    To cope environmental challenges unicellularly:
    feast-or-famine (abrupt fluctuations in several
    physical and chemical characteristics)

    Abrupt fluctuations in physical and


    chemical characteristics
    Temperature
    Amount of moisture (osmotic pressure)
    Availability and nature of organic nutrients
    and of inorganic salts need for growth
    pH
    Oxygen tension
    Presence of toxic chemicals
    Radiation
    Hydrostatic pressure

    Relationship with other


    disciplines
    Biochemistry: enzymology and bichemical
    processes/physiological meanings
    Microbial genetics: a field unto itself /
    applications of techniques and principles of
    genetics
    Microbial ecology: study of microogranism
    in their natural; environments / different
    habitats and nutritional types
    Microbial systematics: taxonomy and
    evolution (phylogeny)

    Why do we study the microbial


    physiology?
    Basic research : Basic tools in
    understanding of life processes,
    largely because they can be grown
    and manipulated with relative ease
    Application: Industrial microbiology,
    Food microbiology, Agricultural
    microbiology, Medial microbiology,
    Environmental microbiology
