Bacteriology Ch1.

Front 1

Bacteria

Back 1

- prokaryotes, unicellular
- peptidoglycan cell walls
- binary fission
- for energy, use organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, or photosynthesis Cyanobacteria

Front 2

Archaea

Back 2

- ancient bacteria
- prokaryotic, unicellular
- lack peptidoglycan
- live in extreme environments
- include:
o methanogens
o extreme halophiles
o extreme thermophiles
- not known to cause disease

Front 3

Fungi

Back 3

- eukaryotes
- yeast are unicellular
- chitin cell walls
-use organic chemicals for energy
- molds and mushrooms – multicellular and fleshy

Front 4

Protozoa

Back 4

- eukaryotes, or unicellular
- absorb or ingest organic chemicals
- may be motile via pseudopods, cilia or flagella

Front 5

Algae

Back 5

- eukaryotes
- uni- or multicellular
- cellulose cell walls
- use photosynthesis for energy
- produce molecular oxygen and organic compounds
- green, red or brown
