  1. Characteristics • Prokaryotes • Microscopic (Eukaryotic cells are at least 10x bigger) • Unicellular • DNA is a single circular piece of DNA • Asexual Reproduction • Binary Fission • Genetic Exchange • Conjugation –transfer DNA through contact • Transformation – acquire DNA from dead bacteria • Transduction – DNA is transferred from one bacteria to another using a virus (genetic engineering) • Metabolism • Aerobic • Anaerobic

  3. Structure • Pilus (Pili)- allows them to adhere to surfaces • Flagellum – movement • Cell Wall – Made of peptidoglycan; Used in medicine to identify type of bacterium using Gram Stain (pg. 463)

  4. Gram Stain (pg. 529) • Gram +  simple walls, large amount of peptidoglycan • Gram -  less peptidoglycan, outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharides which are often toxic and provides additional protection  more resistant to antibiotics • Many antibiotics (penicillens) inhibit synthesis of cross links in peptidoglycan and prevent formation of a functional wall Gram negative Gram positive

  5. Gram Positive Organisms • Aerobic, Gram-positive cocci • Staphylococcus aureus (fig 1, 2, 3, 4) • Staphylococcus epidermidis (fig 1) • Staphylococcus sp. (Coagulase-negative)(fig 1) • Streptococcus pneumoniae (Viridans group)(fig 1, 2, 3) • Streptococcus agalactiae (group B)(fig 1) • Streptococcus pyogenes (group A)(fig 1, 2) • Enterococcus sp.(fig 1, 2, 3) • Aerobic, Gram-positive rods • Bacillus anthracis (fig 1, 2) • Bacillus cereus (fig 1, 2) • Bifidobacterium bifidum (fig 1) • Lactobacillus sp.

  7. Nutrition • Autotrophic • Photosynthetic • Chemoautotrophic (nitrogen fixers) • Heterotrophic • Decomposer • Parasitic (Treponema pallidum)

  8. Survival of the Fittest!!! • Bacteria have been around for 3.5 billion years!! How???? • Cell Walls • Capsules (surrounds cell wall) • Endospores : allow them to withstand drought, high temps., lack of food, etc. • Super fast reproduction • Asexual Reproduction, but can still acquire other genes • Inhabit every place on Earth

  9. Classification • Arrangements • Strept : Chains • Staph : Clusters • Diplo : Pairs • Shapes • Coccus : Spheres • Bacillus : Rods • Spirillum : Spirals

  10. Importance to Humans??? • Bacteria are used to make food • Pickles, buttermilk, cheese, sauerkraut, olives, vinegar, sourdough bread, beer, wine • Bacteria can produce chemicals • Acetone, Butanol • Important Recyclers in environment • Nitrogen cycle • Bacteria can help clean up chemical spills • Mining companies harvest copper or uranium by using Chemoautotrophic • Bacteria are used to produce medicines • Insulin • Bacteria cause disease • Produce toxins (Clostridium botulinum) • Metabolize their host (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

  11. Internet Resources • Life History and Ecology of Bacteria • Bacteria • CELLS alive! Table of Contents • archaebacteria
