Microbiology Important Questions (One Liners – Set 12) for B.Pharmacy Students | Microbiology Notes
1
A type of inclusion containing volutin, a polymerized inorganic phosphate that appears red when stained with methylene blue
metachromatic granule
2
A virus composed of a nucleic acid core, either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a capsid
naked virus
3
The the sequencing of genomic fragments from microbial communities, allowing researchers to study genes from a collection of multiple species
metagenomics
4
The science of studying a collection of mRNA molecules produced from microbial communities
metatranscriptomics
5
The member of the quinolone family that functions by inhibiting the activity of DNA gyrase, blocking DNA replication
nalidixic acid
6
An antibacterial and antiprotozoan drug of the nitroimidazole class that is activated in anaerobic target cell and introduces DNA strand breakage, thus interfering with DNA replication in target cells
metronidazole
7

MHC I molecule
9
A three-dimensional structure of folded fully functional proteins
native structure
10
A glycoprotein expressed only on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and involved in the presentation of foreign antigens from pathogens ingested by phagocytosis
MHC II molecule
11
A lymphoid cells that recognize and destroy abnormal target cells by inducing apoptosis
natural killer cells (NK cells)
12
A simple spherical arrangement of amphipathic lipid molecules with nonpolar tails aggregated within the interior and polar heads forming the outer surface
micelle
13
A a stain that produces colour around the structure of interest while not coloring the structure itself
negative stain
14
An organism that requires oxygen at levels lower than atmospheric concentration
microaerophile
15
A herpes infection of the newborn, generally caused by infection during birth
neonatal herpes
