1. 1 BACTERIA Biology Chapter 18.2

2. 2 Bacteria are very small

3. 3 This is a pore in human skin and the yellow spheres are bacteria

4. 4 Bacteria are very small compar- ed to cells with nuclei

5. 5 Bacteria compared to a white blood cell that is going to eat it Bacteria

6. 6 Clean skin has about 20 million bacteria per square inch

7. 7 Evolution/Classification  Most numerous on Earth  Most Ancient  Microscopic Prokaryotes  Evolution has yielded many species adapted to survive where no other organisms can.  Grouped based on: Structure, physiology, molec. Composition reaction to specific types of stain. Eubacteria= Germs/bacteria Archaebacteria

8. 8 Kingdom Archaebacteria  First discovered in extreme environments  Methanogens: Harvest energy by converting H 2 and CO 2 into methane gas Anaerobic, live in intestinal tracts  Extreme halophiles: Salt loving, live in Great Salt Lake, and Dead sea.  Thermoacidophiles: Live in acid environments and high temps. Hot Springs, volcanic vents

9. 9 Volcanic vents on the sea floor

10. 10 Chemosynthetic bacteria use the sulfur in the “smoke” for energy to make ATP.

11. 11 The red color of this snow is due to a blue-green bacteria

12. 12 Kingdom Eubacteria  Can have one of three basic shapes 1.Bacilli – rod-shaped 2.Spirilla – spiral-shaped 3.Cocci – sphere-shaped Streptococci – in chains Staphylococci – grape-like clusters SHOW ME

13. 13 BACTERIA PICS

14. 14 Bacillus bacteria are rod or sausage shaped

15. 15 Coccus bacteria are sphere or ball shaped

16. 16 Spirillium bacteria have a corkscrew shape

17. 17 Diplo-bacteria occur in pairs, such as the diplococcus bacteria that causes gonorrhea

18. 18 Staphylo - bacteria occur in clumps, such as this staphylococcus bacteria that causes common infections of cuts

19. 19 Strepto- bacteria occur in chains of bacteria, such as this streptococcus bacteria that causes some types of sore throats

20. 20 Spirillium bacteria

21. 21 Diplobacillus bacteria

22. 22 Streptococcus bacteria

23. 23 Staphylococcus bacteria

24. 24 The tip of a needle The red and yellow dots are bacteria

25. 25 Gram Stain  Gram-positive retain stain and appear purple Have thicker layer in cell wall.  Gram-negative do not retain stain and take second pink stain instead.

Only) Cell Membrane Regulates movement of materials, contains enzymes important to cellular respiration CytoplasmContains DNA, ribosomes, essential compounds Chromo- some Carries genetic information PlasmidContains some genes obtained through recomb. Capsule & Slime Layer Protects the cell and assist in attaching cell to other surfaces EndosporeProtects cell agains harsh enviornments PilusAssists the cell in attaching to other surfaces FlagellumMoves the cell

27. 27 No Nucleus-DNA in Cytoplasm

28. 28 Nutrition and Growth  Heterotrophic or Autotrophic  Some are Photoautotrophs – Use sunlight for Energy  Some are Chemoautotrophs.  Many are Obligate Anaerobes. Oxygen = Death  Ex. Clostridium tetani – Tetanus  Some are Faculatative Anaerobes With or without Oxygen  Ex. Escherichia Coli  Some are Obligate Aerobes Ex.) Mycobacterium tuberculosis  Temperature requirements Some are Thermophilic, Some prefer acidic envmt.

29. 29 These heterotrophic bacteria digest oil -- remember oil is partially decayed plant and animal cells

30. 30 REPRODUCTION IN BACTERIA (please add to notes)

31. 31 No Nucleus-DNA in Cytoplasm

32. 32 BACTERIA REPRODUCES BY FISSION First the chromosomal DNA makes a copy The DNA replicates

33. 33 NEXT THE CYTOPLASM AND CELL DIVIDES The two resulting cells are exactly the same

34. 34 In addition to the large chromosomal DNA, bacteria have many small loops of DNA called Plasmids

35. 35 Genetic Recombination  Nonreproductive Methods bacteria can acquire new genetic material. CharacteristicTransformationConjugationTransduction Method of DNA Transfer Across cell wall and cell membrane of recepient Through a conjugation bridge between two cells By a virus Plasmid transfer Yes Not likely Chromosome transfer NoSometimesNo Antibiotic resistance acquired Yes Sometimes

36. 36 TRANSFORMATION This plasmid of DNA is new to the bacteria – added by transformation! Produces the glowing protein

40. 40 Some bacteria cause diseases -- Disease causing bacteria are call PATHOGENIC

41. 41 Helicobacter pylori is the pathogenic bacteria that can causes ulcers

42. 42 Leprosy is a bacterial infection that decreases blood flow to the extremities resulting in the deterioration of toes, ears, the nose and the fingers.

53. 53 Some Final Information  Because antibiotics have been overused, many diseases that were once easy to treat are becoming more difficult to treat.  Some Bacteria are Useful Ex.) Producing and Processing food Breaking down dead organic material Make unripened cheese like ricotta and cottage by breaking down the protein in milk.
