Temperature Lethal Effects Thermal Death Point (TDP) the temperature at which the organisms die in 10 minutes Thermal Death Time (TDT) the time at which the organisms die at a given temperature Procedure: 1. Observe the plates and record the data for all the temperatures on the board 2. Determine the TDP and TDT for this data Answer the questions in the back of the lab manual Importance of this is for applications in pasteurization (all beverages) and food preparation and control of microbes. Terms: Broad Spectrum Antibiotic: kills both gr+ and gr- (most, not all) Narrow Spectrum Anitbiotic: kills most gr+ only Drug Fastness resistance to antibiotics
