Document Summary

Required for the synthesis of organic molecules. Co2 sole or principal biosynthetic carbon source. Reduced preformed, organic molecules from other organisms. Needed for synthesis of amino acids and other n containing macromolecules. Needed for the synthesis of phospholipids, nucleic acids. Needed for synthesis of s containing amino acids. Essential cell components (or their precursors) that tell the cell. Binding to molecules to be carried across a membrane. Modified to the aqueous form while passing through. Able to bring in two types of molecules but only in one direction. Most bacteria do not line acidic conditions. Most fungi grow better in slightly acidic conditions (4-6) Alkaline conditions are not suitable for most bacterial growth. Communities of bacteria that are attached to a solid surface. All microbe grow this way in nature. Microorganisms falling from liquid fall onto surface and, over time, cling. Molecular signal to communicate in a density dependent manner within and between species.
