The physical factors affects the growth of microorganism.
1) Temperature
Temperature is the most important factor that influences the rate of enzyme catalysed reactions and rate of growth.
For every organisms there is an optimum temperature for growth and minimum temperature for inhibiting the growth.
Most extreme the microbes need liquid water to grow.(330C).
some algae and fungi grow at 55-60 degreeC.
Prokaryotes are grow at 100 degreeC.
Based on temperature the microorganisms are classified into two 4.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. BACTERIAL GROWTH
Increase in number of bacterial cells rather than
increase in size of individual bacteria
Bacterial species only maintained if
population continues to grow
Growth depends on temperature, pH,
osmotic pressure, oxygen, and
nutrients
4. BACTERIAL DIVISION
Bacteria and archaea reproduce
asexually through binary fission
Eukaryotic microbes can engage in
either sexual or asexual
reproduction.
Other, less common processes can
include multiple fission, budding,
and the production of spores.
5. BINARY FISSION
1. Prokaryote cells`
Replication is by
binary fission, the
splitting of one cell
into two
2. Therefore, bacterial
populations
increase by a factor
of two (double)
every generation
time.
6. GENERATION TIME
The time required to for a
population to double (doubling
time) in number.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) double
every 20 minutes
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
double every 12 to 24 hours
4-6
7. CONSEQUENCES OF BINARY FISSION
Very large number of cells very fast
Mathematical progressions
arithmetic (2>4>6>8>10>12>14>16)
geometric(1>2>4>8>16)
For example, 1 E. coli organism will
produce
over 1000 progeny in about 3 hours
and
over 1 million in about 7 hours.
8. Bacteria growing in the culture
produce a growth curve with up to
four distinct phases.
1. The first is the lag phase, during
which vigorous metabolic activity
occurs but cells do not divide. This
can last for a few minutes up to many
hours.
For example, with a nutritionally poor
medium, several anabolic pathways
need to be turned on, resulting in a lag
before active growth begins.
Growth in Batch Culture
9. 2. The log (logarithmic) phase is when rapid cell
division occurs.
β-Lactam drugs, such as penicillin, act during this
phase because the drugs are effective when
cells are making peptidoglycan (i.e., when they
are dividing).
The log phase is also known as the exponential
exponential phase. The doubling time varies not
varies not only with the species, but also with the
the amount of nutrients, the temperature, the
the pH, and other environmental factors.
Growth in Batch Culture
10. 3. Due to nutrient consuming (expenditure) and/or
accumulation of toxic end products, replication
stops and cells enter a stationary phase where
there is no net change in cell number.
4. The final phase is the death phase, which is
marked by a decline in the number of viable
bacteria.
Growth in Batch Culture
11.
12. FACTORS INFLUENCING LAG PHASE
Age of culture inoculum
old culture -> long lag
young culture-> short lag
13. METABOLISM
Definitions
Metabolism: The processes of catabolism and
anabolism
Catabolism: The processes by which a
living organism obtains its energy and raw
materials from nutrients
Anabolism: The processes by which
energy and raw materials are used to build
macromolecules and cellular structures
(biosynthesis)
17. GLYCOLYSIS: EMBDEN-MEYERHOFF
Glycolytic
In the Cytoplasm
Anaerobic
End products
C6H12O6 + 6O2 2
Pyruvic acids
2 ATP are used
4 ATP are produced
4-2 = 2 net ATP by
substrate level
phosphorylation
2 NADH are produced
18. MICROBIAL METABOLISM
Fermentation
A) incomplete oxidation of glucose
B) does not require O2
C) follows glycolysis when O2 is absent
Pyruvate is converted to either an acid or alcohol and
NADH is converted back to NAD
E) 2 types
1) alcoholic fermentation: a) results in 2 ATP, CO2, and an
alcohol (usually ethanol)
2) acidic fermentation: a) results in 2 ATP plus an acid such as
lactic acid and butyric acid
20. RESPIRATION
The series of chemical reactions that
accomplish complete oxidation is called
the Krebs Cycle in the cell membrane.
a) the complete oxidation of glucose
b) C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38
ATP
Krebs Cycle
21.
22. TEMPERATURE
The range of enzyme activity determines
the range for growth of specific bacteria,
analogously leading to a value for optimal
growth rate.
In the case of temperature, bacteria are
divided into categories based on the
temperature range
where they can grow and the temperature
that provides optimal growth.
24. TEMPERATURE
Psychrophilic forms grow best at low temperatures (-0–
18°C)
They are usually found in such environments as the Arctic and
Antarctic regions;
Psychrotrophs have a temperature optimum between 20°C
and 30°C but grow well at lower temperatures.
They are an important cause of food spoilage.
Mesophilic forms grow best at 30–37°C (25-45 °C).
Most organisms are mesophilic; 30°C is optimal for many free-
living forms.
The body temperature of the host is optimal for symbionts of
warm-blooded animals or pathogen bacteria.
Most thermophilic forms grow best at 50–60°C.
Some organisms are hyperthermophilic and can grow at well
above the temperature of boiling water, which exists under
high pressure in the depths of the ocean.
Bacteria can be stored in stock cultures for years at -20 and -80 ° C.
25. OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS
Obligate aerobes – require O2
Facultative anaerobes – can use O2 but
also grow without it
Obligate anaerobes – die in the presence of
O2
The use of oxygen by bacteria generates toxic
products such as superoxide and hydrogen
peroxide.
Aerobes and facultatives have enzymes, such as
superoxide dismutase and catalase, that detoxify
these products,
but anaerobes do not and are killed in the presence
of oxygen.
26. OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS
Some bacteria, such as M. tuberculosis,
are obligate aerobes;
they require oxygen to grow because their ATP-
generating system is dependent on oxygen as
the hydrogen acceptor.
Other bacteria, such as E. coli, are
facultative anaerobes; they utilize oxygen,
if it is present, to generate energy by respiration,
but they can use the fermentation pathway to
synthesize ATP in the absence of sufficient
oxygen.
27. OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS
The third group of bacteria consists of the
obligate anaerobes, such as Clostridium
tetani,
which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen
because they lack either superoxide dismutase
or catalase, or both.
Obligate anaerobes vary in their response to
oxygen exposure; some can survive but are not
able to grow (aerotolerant anaerobes), whereas
others are killed rapidly (strict anaerobes).
Microaerophiles, which require small
amounts of oxygen (2%–10%) for aerobic
respiration (higher concentrations are
inhibitory);
28. OXYGEN
Obligate aerobes
Only aerobic growth, oxygen required
Facultative anaerobes (most human pathogens)
Greater growth in presence of oxygen
Obligate anaerobes
Only anaerobic growth, cease with oxygen
Aerotolerant anaerobes (e.g., C. perfringens)
Only anaerobic growth, continues with oxygen
Microaerophiles
Only aerobic growth with little oxygen
30. PH AND MICROBIAL GROWTH
Acidophiles : organisms that grow best at
low pH (Helicobacter pylori, Thiobacillus
thiooxidans )
Many bacteria and viruses survive low pH of stomach to
infect intestines
Helicobacter pylori lives in stomach under mucus layer
Alkaliphiles : organisms that grow best at
high pH (Vibrio choleraea)
Most of pathogenic bacteria are
neutrophiles
31. OSMOTIC PRESSURE
High osmotic pressure
(hypertonic) removes water
causing plasmolysis – inhibits
growth i.e. salt as preservative
Low osmotic pressures
(hypotonic) cause water to enter
and can cause lysis
Bacteria are more tolerant to
osmotic variations because of the
mechanical strength of the cell
wall
Organisms requiring high salt
concentrations are called halophilic;
those requiring high osmotic pressures
are called osmophilic.
NaCl 0.85% NaCl 10%
H2O
Plasma membrane
Plasma membrane
Cell wall
32. MOISTURE AND DESICCATION
Moisture is essential - 80% body weight is water
Effect of drying varies by organism
T pallidum, gonococcus are very susceptible
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, staphylococci may survive
for weeks
Bacterial spores survive several years
Lyophilization
is a process in which water is removed from a product
after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, allowing the
ice to change directly from solid to vapor without passing
through a liquid phase.
33. WHY CULTIVATE BACTERIA?
Identification of bacteria
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
For research
for example vaccine development
35. Most of the dry weight of microorganisms is
organic matter containing the elements
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen,
phosphorus, and sulfur.
In addition, inorganic ions such as
potassium, sodium, iron, magnesium,
calcium, and chloride are required to
facilitate enzymatic catalysis and to
maintain chemical gradients across the cell
membrane.
36. CULTURE MEDIUM
Growth media are those used for microbiological culture,
which are used for growing microorganisms, such
as bacteria or fungi.
A classification of media based on their respective usages:
Basic medium
Enrichment medium
Selective medium
Differential medium
37. CULTURE MEDIUM
Basic medium:
supplies only the minimal nutritional requirements of a
particular microorganism. e.g. broth
Enrichment medium:
Nutrient broth, nutrient agar, peptone water are
commonly used in enrichment media. e.g. blood agar
plate
39. Selective medium:
Supports the growth of desired bacteria
while inhibiting the growth of many or
most of the unwanted ones,
either by adding one or more
selective agents which is a "poison" to
the unwanted bacteria but not harmful
to desired bacteria, or
by including certain nutrients for the
desired ones and deleting certain
nutrients for the unwanted ones.
e.g. Lowenstein Medium medium for M.
tuberculosis
40. Selective media
The inhibitory substance is added to a solid media.
Eg:
Mac Conkey’s medium for gram negative bacteria
TCBS (Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose) – for
V.cholerae
LJ medium – M.tuberculosis
Wilson and Blair medium – S.typhi
Potassium tellurite medium – Diphtheria bacilli
43. This medium allows two or more different bacteria to
grow, but it contains dyes and/or other components upon
which different bacteria act in various ways to produce a
variety of end products or effects (usually by showing
different colors).
Differential medium
44. Differential media
A media which has substances incorporated in it enabling
it to distinguish between bacteria.
Eg: Mac Conkey’s medium
Peptone
Lactose
Agar
Neutral red
Taurocholate
Distinguish between lactose fermenters & non lactose
fermenters.
45. Lactose fermenters – Pink colonies
Non lactose fermenters – colourless colonies
Mixed bacterial colonies
on MacConkey agar,
Escherichia coli (red) and
Salmonella typhimurium (white)
46. Indicator media
These media contain an indicator which
changes its colour when a bacterium
grows in them.
Eg:
Blood agar
Mac Conkey’s medium
Christensen’s urease medium
49. Medium
Classification according to physical condition
(according to the content of solidifying agent):
• liquid medium
• Solid medium
• Semi-solid medium
50. Used to obtain a large number of bacteria, and to
perform drug sensitivity test and bacterial growth assay.
The bacteria grown in liquid medium will display some
certain characteristics of bacteria (alignment and
clustering) that can't be seen easily in solid media.
liquid medium
51. Solid medium
Used to obtain a large number of bacteria, isolate
identical clones of bacteria (colony), and to perform
drug sensitivity test.
A colony is a bacterial cluster which propagated
(multiplied) from a single initial bacterial cell (So a
colony is a pure bacterial culture).
Colony can be used to determine the original bacterial
numbers by counting colonies and to evaluate viability
of bacteria (colony forming units, CFU).
52. Agar
•The major solidifying agent used in bacteriological
media.
• An polysaccharide gum that extracted from certain
red algae.
• Agar can be dissolved at 100 C, and solidified at
about 43 C.
•Added 1.5-2.0% of Agar for solid plates or slanted
media, 0.1-0.5% for semisolid media.
53. Semisolid medium
Test the motility of bacteria (a
bacterium has a flagellum or flagella
whether or not )
Positive: bacteria grow into the medium
give cloudiness to the medium.
Negative: bacteria grow in situ.
54. ANAEROBIC GROWTH

thioglycolate to deplete oxygen;
cooked meat broth
Anaerobic jar, anaerobic
chamber, anaerobic bags/
pouch
Petri

58. Streaking
Procedure:
1. Flame the loop and streak a loopful of broth culture as at A in
the diagram.
2. Reflame the loop and cool it.
3. Streak as at B to spread the original inoculum over more of
the agar.
4. Reflame the loop and cool it.
5. Streak as at C.
6. Reflame the loop and cool it.
7. Streak as at D.
8. Incubate the plate inverted.
59. Streaking
By spreading a large amount of bacteria over the surface of a plate,
the amount of bacteria is diluted and individual cells are
spread. From these individual cells a single colony arises.
Wire loop
Dish
Colony
(pure culture)
60. GROWTH OF MICROBES
Increase in number of
cells, not cell size
One cell becomes
colony of millions of
cells
61. COLONY- (CLONE)
Colony- A bacterial population derived from
one bacterial cell. The cells within the
colony have identical, genus, species,
genetic and phenotypic characteristics.
Pure bacteria - derived from a single
colony.
Selection of a pure colony -most important
for bacterial identification
R,S, M colonia
64. PEARLS:
Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, whereas
eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis.
The bacterial growth cycle consists of four phases:
the lag phase, during which vigorous metabolic
activity occurs but cells do not divide.
the log phase, during which rapid cell division
occurs;
the stationary phase, during which as many cells
are dying as are being formed; and
the death phase, during which most of the cells
are dying because nutrients have been
exhausted.
65. PEARLS:
Some bacteria can grow in the presence of
oxygen (aerobes and facultatives),
but others die in the presence of oxygen
(anaerobes).
The use of oxygen by bacteria generates
toxic products such as superoxide and
hydrogen peroxide.
Aerobes and facultatives have enzymes,
such as superoxide dismutase and
catalase,
that detoxify these products, but anaerobes do not
and are killed in the presence of oxygen.
