- Heat-loving bacteria. Their optimum growth temperature is between 45°C and 70°C.
- A thick, rigid spiral.
- Determining the number of bacteria in a certain volume of a sample by counting the number of colonies that grow from that sample. (2 words)
- The organisms appear as a general cloudiness throughout the broth.
- Organism that require a low concentration of oxygen for growth.
- A cylindrical or hotdog-shaped bacterium.
- A medium that contains additives that cause an observable color change in the medium when a particular chemical reaction occurs.
- A liquid medium.
- Free of all life forms.
- A medium that is selective for Gram-negative bacteria and differentiates bacteria based on lactose fermentation.
- The solidifying agent added to culture medium in order to grow bacteria on a solid surface.
- Cocci in irregular, often grape-like clusters.
- A thin, flexible spiral .
- An incomplete spiral or comma-shaped bacterium.
- A medium that contains additives that enhance the growth of certain organisms.
- The ocular lens of a microscope. (2 words)
- This spectrophotometer reading is directly proportional to the cell concentration. (The greater the reading, the greater the number of bacteria.)
- Organism that grow only without oxygen and, in fact, oxygen inhibits or kill it. (2 words)
- A medium that has agents added that will inhibit the growth of one group of organisms while permitting the growth of another.
- Bacteria that grow at very high temperatures. Their optimum growth temperature is between 70°C and 110°C.

- A mass of organisms appears as a deposit at the bottom of the tube.
- The first of an organism's scientific names.
- Bacteria that grow best at moderate temperatures. Their optimum growth temperature is between 25°C and 45°C.
- Cold-loving bacteria. Their optimum growth temperature is between -5°C and 15°C.
- The second of an organism's scientific names.
- A cube of eight cocci.
- Organism that grow with or without oxygen, but generally better with oxygen. (2 words)
- A visible mass of microorganisms growing on an agar surface and usually originating from a single organism or arrangement of organisms.
- Able to produce pigment during growth.
- A microbial culture in which all organisms are descendants of the same organism. (2 words)
- A chain of cocci.
- A mass of organisms is floating on top of the broth.
- One-one millionth (1/ 1,000,000) of a meter.
- Organism that grow only in the presence of oxygen. (2 words)
- Pigment does not diffuse out of the organism into the surrounding medium. The colonies appear pigmented but the agar does not change color. (2 words)
- Pigment diffuses out of the organism into the surrounding medium. Both the colonies and the agar will appear pigmented. (2 words)
- One-one billionth (1/ 1,000,000,000) of a meter.
