Anyone Van Leeuwenhoek

Credited with being the first to create a microscope and observe microorganisms

Robert Hooke

Coined the term cell. Credited with cell theory.

Cell theory

All living things are composed of cells

Schleiden and schwann

Credited with cell theory

Rudolph Virchow

Credited with the biogenisis theory

Biogenisis theory

All living organisms are composed of cells and must come from previously living calls

Spontaneous Generation

Life can arise spontaneously from nonliving matter

Louis Pastuer

Disproved spontaneous Generation. Theory by showing that microorganisms are in the air and can contaminate a seemingly sterile solution. But the air doesn't create the microbes



Fermentation was caused by microorganisms



Invented Pasteurization process



Microorganisms cause pneumonia

Pasteurization Process

If you heat something like beer milk or wine you can kill most of the bacteria that cause the spoilage.

Germ Theory

Certain microorganisms can cause certain diseases

Immunization

Artificial exposure to a foreign agent to help the body develop a resistance to the agent.

Vaccination

Introduction of a pathogen into the body by artificial means



Same as immunization

Joseph Lister

Developed aseptic techniques

Mad Cow Disease

Caused by a protein called prion. This protein is folded the wrong way and causes other proteins to fold the same way

Paul Ehrlich

Developed the first antibiotic substance



Called salvarsan which treated syphilis

Alexander felming

Discovered penicillin by accident. The first antibiotics grown for production

Watson and crick

Came up with the model of the DNA, what it looks like, and how it works

Pathogen

Disease causing organism

Chemotherapy

Use of chemicals for treatment of diseases.

Synthetic drugs

Man made drugs

Antibiotics

Substances produced by organisms to kill other organisms.

Antibodies

Proteins produced by lymphocytes in your immune system to fight against pathogens

Flora

Beneficial bacteria that lives in or on you

Gram (+) & Gram (-)

Classification of organisms based on the type of cell wall



Used as a way to organize bacteria

Organism classification

How organisms are grouped

Taxonomy

The science of how organisms are grouped

Carolus linnacus

Father of taxobomy

Organism classification subgroups

Kingdom


Division


Class


Order


Genus


Species

Binomial Nomenclature

THe use of two names to organize or group

Whittaker

3 kingdoms, then later 5 kingdoms

5 kingdoms

1. Animals - tissues/ingest food/multicellular


2. Plants - make own food/photosynthetic


3. Protista


4. Fungi


5. Monera

3 domains

Eukaryotic


Prokaryotic


Archea

Prokaryotic Traits

No nucleus


No nuclear membrane


Have ribosomes


No ensomembrane


Has cell wall and membrane


Single circular double stranded chromosomes

Eukaryotic

Enclosed nucleus


Doesn't always have a cell wall


Has cell membrane


Has ribosomes


Has ensomembrane system

Genome

All of the genetic information for an organism

Ribosomes

Made of rrna and proteins

Basis for organism classification

1. Shape, arrangement


2. Chemical comp of cell wall (gram + or gram -)


3. Nutritional requirements


4. Enzyme presence or metabolic activity


5. Source of energy *organic, inorganic or light

Kingdom fungi characteristics

Eukaryotic


Unicellular or multicellular


Cell wall is made of chitin


Reproduces sexually, asexually, or by binary fission


Heterotrophic and absorptive - gets food from outside source, absorbs food


Kingdom protista Characteristics

Unicellular with some multicellular colonies

Beneficial use of microbes

1. Food production


2. O2 production


3. Nitrogen production


4. Sewage treatment


5. Insect and pest control


6. Industrial production


7.GMO

Acid

Any substance that gives off hydrogen ions in solution

Base

Any substance that gives off an hydroxyde ion in solution

Carbohydrates

ORGANIC


1:2:1


Carbon


Hydrogen


Oxygen



Gives energy and structure

Fats

Carbon


Hydrogen


Oxygen


H is most abundant



More hydrogen = more saturated = solid in room temp & from an animal



Unsaturated fat is from a plant

Protein

Carbon


Hydrogen


Oxygen


Nitrogen



Amino acids. Building blocks, enzymes

Nucleic acids

Nucleotides, building blocks of DNA RNA ATP



A,G,T


Bacterial characteristics - 11

Structures outside of the cell wall

Flagellum


- mono - single and one pole


- lopho - two or more at one or both poles


- Amphi - one at each pole


- peri - all over


Capsules


Axial filaments


Pillow

Process of gram staining

What is in both gram + and gram -

Peptidoglycan

Lysosome

Found only in eukaryotic cells


Storage units with digestive enzymes

Lysozyme

Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic

L. Form

A cell wall is damaged by a mutation or by exposure to antibiotics

4 functions of a cell membrane

Regulates


Contains


Protects


Shape
