Kingdom Monera??? Archaebaceria and Eubacteria used to be in one kingdom which was called Kingdom Monera.

Kingdom Monera Archaebacteria Methanogens Swamps, Intestines Thermophiles Hydrothermal Vents Halophiles Salt Lake, Utah Eubacteria (peptidoglycan) Autotrophs or Heterotrophs

Archaebateria Eubacteria are different from Archaebacteria because they have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Found in extreme environments like salt lakes and hot springs. Include methanogens, thermophiles and halophiles.

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

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. 472)

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 positive Gram negative

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

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

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)

Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria acquire genes that help the cell resist treatment using antibiotics Arises naturally in bacteria Occurs when weaker bacteria die off, but stronger ones survive and reproduce. Overuse and misuse of Antibiotics has increased Ab resistance among bacteria
