7.1 Overview of microbial growth The bacterial cell is a synthetic machine that is able to duplicate itself. The synthetic processes of bacterial cell growth involve as many as 2000 chemical reactions of a wide variety of types. Some of these reactions involve energy transformations. Other reactions involve biosynthesis of small molecules-the building, blocks of macromolecules-as well as the various cofactors and coenzymes needed for enzymatic reactions

Microorganisms require about ten elements in large quantities, because they are used to construct carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Several other elements are needed in very small amounts and are parts of enzymes and cofactors. Concepts: Nutrient requirements

Macronutrients • 95% or more of cell dry weight is made up of a few major elements: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. • The first six ( C, H, O, N, P and S) are components of carbonhadrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids

Trace Elements Microbes require very small amounts of other mineral elements, such as iron, copper, molybdenum, and zinc; these are referred to as trace elements. Most are essential for activity of certain enzymes, usually as cofactors

Growth Factors Amino acids are needed for protein synthesis, purines and pyrimidines for nucleic acid synthesis. Vitamins are small organic molecules that usually make up all or part enzyme cofactors, and only very small amounts are required for growth. (1)amino acids, (2) purines and pyrimidines, (3) vitamins
