-Two Domains: Bacteria and Archaea
-Harmfull (small %) and beneficial
Bacteria
-has a unique rRNA sequence
-Has small and simple RNA polymerase
-No introns
-Inhibited antibiotic sensitivity
-Pepetidoglycan in cell wall
-Membrane lipids are carbon cahins that are unbranched
Archaea
-rRNA sequence is similar to eukaryotic and supports ancestry
-Complex RNA polymerase (euk)
-Has introns in some genes
-Non inhibited antibiotic sensitivity
-No pepetidoglycan in cell wall
-Has branched carbon chains in membrane lipids
Bacilli
-Rodshaped
-Identifying bacteria by shape
Cocci
-Spherical
-Identifying bacteria by shape
Spirilla
-Spiral or cork screw
-Identifying bacteria by shape
Strepto
-Long Chains
-Identifying bacteria by arrangement
Staphylo
-Large clumps or clusters
-Identifying bacteria by arrangement
Identifying Bacteria
1. By Shape
2. By Arrangement
3. By Chemical Natureof Cell walls
4. By Methods of Obtaining Energy
5. Methods of Respiration
6. By Structural Features
7. Pathogenic
8. Benefits of Bacteria
Gram Positive
(+) Absorb only purple, so appear purple
-Contains Peptidoglycan (no lipids)
-Eubacteria
Gram Negative
(-) Absorb red stain, appear pink (extra layer of lipids in membrane)
-No Peptidoglycan, but has lipids
-Archaebacteria
Photoautotrophs
-Make own food by light
Chemoautotrophs
-Make own food from chemicals
Chemoheterotrophs
-Get energy from inorganic substances
Photoheterotrophs
-Get energy from light, but by eating something else
Aerobes
-Requires constant oxygen
Obligate Anaerobes
-Must live in the absence of oxygen
Faculatative Anaerobes
-May live with or without oxygen
Flagellum
-Used for movement (tail/appendages)
Pili
-Short appendages used to stick to each other or surfaces
-Sex pili for conjugation (reproduction)
Endospore
-Thick, protective coat.
-Created during very harsh conditions to remain dormant (hibernate) until conditions are favorable.
Actinomycetes
-Branching cell chains
Pathogenic
-Small %, disease causing
Exotoxins
-Pathogenic
-Toxin SECRETED by cells
-Leaves through walls and released
Endotoxins
-Toxins in cell walls, can release or eat your cells (breakdown)
Benefits
-Help ecosystem by recyling nutrients
-Decomposers=breakdown/digest
Nitrogen Fixation
-Helpful to agriculture
-Converts N2 to NH3 for plants
-Foods, clean water and oil spills
-Synthesize drugs and chemicals
Kingdom Protista
-group of "left overs"
-3 Types
1. Animal-Like (protozoans)
2. Fungus-Like
3. Plant-Like
Protozoans
-Animal like
-Heterotrophic, predatory, parasitic or decomposers
-Zooflagellates, Cilitates, Ameobas, Apicomplexans
Zooflagellates
-Phylum Zoomastigophora
-Move by one or more flagella
-Most freeswimming, nonparasitic
-Parasitic Examples: Giardia and Tryponosoma (african sleeping disease)
Ciliates
-Phylum Ciliphora
-Move and feed using cilia
-Almost all freeswimming
-Complex cells (mouths, anal pores, and contractile vacuoles)
-Two types of nuclei (one for controlling cell and other for sexual reproduction)
-Example: Paramecium and Vorticella
Ameobas
-Phylum Rhizopoda and Sarcodina
-Move by pseudopodia
-Ingest food by phagocytosis
-Example: Entamoeba (parasitic)
Apicomplexans
-Phylum Sporozoa
-All Parasitic
-Example: Plasmodium (causes malaria)
Fungus-Like Protists
-Form either filaments or spore-bearing bodies
-No chitin in cell walls
-Fuse together, cytoplasm with much nuclei.
