Microbiology B.E Pruitt & Jane J. Stein AN INTRODUCTION EIGHTH EDITION TORTORA FUNKE CASE Chapter 11, part A The Prokaryotes: Domains Bacteria and Archaea
2
One circular chromosome, not in a membrane No histones No membrane bounded organelles (ribosomes) Peptidoglycan cell walls (NOT in Archaea) Binary fission
3
Gram-negative groups: Proteobacteria Mythical Greek god, Proteus, who could assume many shapes By RNA sequencing Proteobacteria: Human pathogens Brucella Bartonella Obligate intracellular Rickettsia Ehrlichia Have prosthacae Caulobacter Chemoautotrophic Nitrobacter Nitrosomas Fix nitrogen Rhizobium Azospirillum Produce acetic acid Acetobacter Domain Bacteria: Proteobacteria
4
(alpha) Proteobacteria Human pathogens: Bartonella B. henselaCat-scratch disease BrucellaBrucellosis The (alpha) Proteobacteria http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/brucellosis_g.htm#top The alpha-proteobacteria include nitrogen-fixing bacteria, chemoautotrophs, and chemoheterotrophs. Some members of this sub-phylum grow at low-nutrient levels (oligotrophic) and some have stalks (prosthecae). Some are pathogens and some are intracellular.
5
Obligate intracellular parasites: Rickettsia. Arthropod-borne, spotted fevers R. prowazekiiEpidemic typhus - lice R. typhiEndemic murine typhus - flea R. rickettsiiRocky Mountain Spotted Fever - tick The (alpha) Proteobacteria
6
Figure 11.1
7
Those with prosthecae: Caulobacter. Stalked bacteria found in lakes. Use stalk for obtaining nutrients Hyphomicrobium. Budding bacteria found in lakes The (alpha) Proteobacteria Figure 11.2 & 3
8
A plant pathogen: Agrobacterium. Insert a plasmid into plant cells, inducing a tumor The (alpha) Proteobacteria Figure 9.17
9
Nitrogen Cycle Chemoautotrophic: Oxidize nitrogen for energy Fix CO 2 Nitrosomonas NH 3 + NO 2 – Nitrobacter NO 2 – NO 3 – Book has this reversed incorrectly The (alpha) Proteobacteria
10
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria: Azospirillum Grow in soil, using nutrients excreted by plants Fix nitrogen Rhizobium Fix nitrogen in the roots of plants The (alpha) Proteobacteria Figure 27.5
11
Produce acetic acid from ethyl alcohol: Acetobacter - Pasteur The (alpha) Proteobacteria http://www.winepros.org/wine101/enology.htm
