3 What Do You Already Know?

4 Characteristics Bacteria can live almost anywhere!!! Your skin has 100,000 per cm 2 – Draw a cm2 on the back of your hand. Some can live in extreme heat (Thermophiles) Some can live in very acidic environments (Acidophiles) Some can live in Salty Environments (Halophiles)

5 If so many live on our skin why aren’t we sick all the time?

8 Structure Three basic shapes – Sphere shaped : Cocci (pl) Coccus (sing) Draw what you think these bacteria look like: – Rod Shaped : Bacilli (pl) Bacillus (sing) Draw what you think these bacteria look like: – Spiral Shaped : Spirilla (pl) Spirillum (Sing) Draw what you think these bacteria look like:

13 Structure (cont.) Very small May occur in Chains = Strep or in Groups= Staph Cell walls Prokaryotic – No membrane bound organelles Many have one chromosome and a small circular piece of DNA called a plasmid.

14

15 Reproduction Binary Fission : Asexual Reproduction – Identical DNA – Basically Cell Division Conjugation : Similar to Sexual Reproduction – Tube forms between cells – Exchange DNA – More Variation

16 Conjugation

17 Obtaining Energy Autotrophs: organisms that make their own food (producers) Consumers: Organisms that must digest food for energy. – Saprophytes : break down dead organisms – Parasites – live off other living things

18 Obtaining Energy (cont.) Respiration : Using oxygen to break down food – Aerobe : uses oxygen – Anaerobe: does not use oxygen – Facultative Anaerobe: with or with out oxygen

19

20 Eubacteria Producer Eubacteria – Common Name: blue-green bacteria – Contain chlorophyll – Photosynthetic – May also be yellow, black, or red ***Important Food Source for Aquatic Life*** Effect on Table Rock Lake Read Article on Front Desk

21 Consumer Eubacteria – Gram Negative : Cell wall stain Pink or Red – Gram Positive: Cell wall stain blue or purple – Gives information about what types of medicine to use against infections.

24 Archaebacteria Extreme conditions – Thermophiles – Acidophiles – Halophiles Methanogens – Organisms that produce methane gas as a waste, live in intestines, use to break down sewage.

25 Beneficial Bacteria Make cheese, sauerkraut, vinegar, and yogurt. Recycle nutrients into environment. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Bioremediation used to clean up toxic materials in environment. Vaccines

26 Harmful Bacteria Pathogens- produce diseases May produce poison called toxin. – Clostridium botulinum causes botulism Many toxin producing bacteria also form endospores as a survival mechanism during unfavorable conditions.

27 Prevention WASH YOUR HANDS!!! Pasteurization Vaccines Proper food handling/prep Treatment Antibiotics
