Chapter 27 Prokaryotes

More prokaryotes inhabit a handful of fertile soil or the skin of a human than the total number of people who have ever lived. Prokaryotes are everywhere there is life. They thrive in habitats that are too cold, too hot, too salty, too acidic, or too alkaline for any eukaryote. Prokaryotes have even been discovered in rocks two miles below the surface of the Earth. They have enormous genetic diversity. Prokaryotes are classified into two domains, Bacteria and Archaea, which differ in structure, physiology and biochemistry. Facts about Prokaryotes

Concept 27.1 Structural and functional adaptations contribute to prokaryotic success Prokaryotes were the earliest organisms on Earth. They still dominate the biosphere. Their collective biomass outweighs all eukaryotes combined tenfold.

Most prokaryotes are unicellular. Some species may collect briefly or form true colonies, showing division of labor between specialized cell types. The most common shapes among prokaryotes are spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), and helices. In nearly all prokaryotes, a cell wall maintains the shape of the cell, provides protection, and prevents the cell from bursting in a hypotonic environment.

In a hypertonic environment, most prokaryotes lose water and plasmolyze, like other walled cells. Severe water loss inhibits the reproduction of prokaryotes. This is which explains why salt can be used to preserve foods.

About half of all prokaryotes are capable of directional movement. The beating of flagella over the entire surface or at one or both ends is the most common mode of movement. The flagella of prokaryotes differ in structure and function from those of eukaryotes.

The cells of prokaryotes are simpler than those of eukaryotes in both internal structure and genomic organization. Prokaryotic cells lack complex compartmentalization as in eukaryotic cells. Instead, prokaryotes use specialized infolded regions of the plasma membrane to perform many metabolic functions including cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Prokaryotes have simpler genomes than eukaryotes. On the whole, a prokaryote has only about one- thousandth as much DNA as a eukaryote has. In the majority of prokaryotes, the genome consists of a ring of DNA with few linked proteins. The prokaryotic chromosome is located in the nucleoid region.

Prokaryotes have the potential to reproduce quickly in a favorable environment. Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by binary fission, synthesizing DNA continuously. While most prokaryotes have generation times of 1–3 hours, some species can produce a new generation in 20 minutes under optimal conditions. A single cell in favorable conditions will produce a large colony of offspring very quickly.

Concept 27.2 A great diversity of nutritional and metabolic adaptations have evolved in prokaryotes Organisms can be categorized by their nutrition, based on how they obtain energy and carbon. Nutritional diversity is greater among prokaryotes than among eukaryotes. Every type of nutrition in eukaryotes is found in prokaryotes, along with nutritional modes unique to prokaryotes.

Organisms that obtain energy from light are phototrophs. Organisms that obtain energy from chemicals in their environment are chemotrophs. Organisms that need only CO2 as a carbon source are autotrophs.

In some prokaryotic species, metabolic cooperation occurs in surface-coating colonies called biofilms. Channels in the biofilms allow nutrients to reach cells in the interior and allow wastes to be expelled. The bacteria use the archaea’s waste products. In turn, the bacteria produce compounds that assist methane consumption by the archaea.

Concept 27.3 Molecular systematics is illuminating prokaryotic phylogeny Microbiologists began comparing sequences of prokaryotic genes in the 1970s. Carl Woese used small-subunit ribosomal RNA as a marker for evolutionary relationships. They concluded that many prokaryotes once classified as bacteria are actually more closely related to eukaryotes and that they belong in a domain of their own—Archaea.

Two important lessons have already emerged from studies of prokaryotic phylogeny: One is that the genetic diversity of prokaryotes is huge. Norman Price pioneered methods that allow researchers to sample genetic material directly from the environment. Another important lesson is the significance of horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of prokaryotes. Over “hundreds of millions of years”, prokaryotes have acquired genes from distantly related species, and they continue to do so today.

Prokaryotes are diverged into two lineages, the domains Archaea and Bacteria. Most known prokaryotes are bacteria. Bacteria include the vast majority of familiar prokaryotes. Every major mode of nutrition and metabolism is represented among bacteria. Archaea share certain traits with bacteria and other traits with eukaryotes.

Concept 27.4 Prokaryotes play crucial roles in the biosphere Life depends on the recycling of chemical elements between the biological and chemical parts of ecosystems. Prokaryotes play an important role in this process. Prokaryotes mediate the return of elements from nonliving components to the pool of organic compounds. Autotrophic prokaryotes use carbon dioxide to make organic compounds, which are passed up through food chains.

Prokaryotes have many unique metabolic abilities. They are the only organisms able to metabolize inorganic molecules containing elements such as iron and sulfur. This stocks the soil and water with nitrogenous compounds that other organisms can use to make proteins. When plants and animals die, other prokaryotes return the nitrogen to the atmosphere.

In 2003, scientists at Washington University published the first complete genome for a Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The genome includes an array of genes involved in synthesizing carbohydrates, vitamins, and other nutrients needed by humans. Signals from the bacterium activate human genes that build the network of intestinal blood vessels necessary to absorb food. Other signals induce human cells to produce antimicrobial compounds protecting the bacterium from its challengers.

Concept 27.5 Prokaryotes have both harmful and beneficial impacts on humans Prokaryotes cause about half of human diseases. Between 2 and 3 million people per year die of the lung disease called tuberculosis. Another 2 million die from diarrhea caused by other prokaryotes. Lyme disease, caused by a bacterium carried by ticks is the most widespread pest-carried disease in the United States. Lyme disease can lead to debilitating arthritis, heart disease, and nervous disorders.

Lyme disease….ew!

Pathogens cause illness by producing poisons called exotoxins and endotoxins. Exotoxins are proteins secreted by prokaryotes. An exotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae causes cholera, a serious disease characterized by severe diarrhea.

Clostridium botulinum, that grows anaerobically in badly canned foods, causes botulism. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharide components of the outer membrane of some gram-negative bacteria. Botulism

Humans have learned to use the diverse metabolic capabilities of prokaryotes for scientific research and for practical purposes. What we know about metabolism and molecular biology has been learned using prokaryotes, especially E. coli, as model systems. Increasingly, prokaryotes are used to solve environmental problems. As in how scientists use organisms to remove pollutants from air, water, and soil. The most familiar example is the use of prokaryote decomposers to treat human sewage. Anaerobic bacteria decompose the organic matter into slush, while aerobic microbes do the same to liquid wastes. Other bioremediation applications include cleaning up oil spills. In the mining industry, prokaryotes help recover metals from ores. Other prokaryotes can extract gold from ore. Prokaryote’s Practical Applications

New properties emerge at each level in the biological hierarchy. -At the cellular level, even more details and wonders are to be found as you zoom into biology. -Going down to the cellular level shows how truly complex these systems are and how amazing they are in how they connect to others. Organisms interact with their environments, exchanging matter and energy. - By looking at the metabolism of prokaryotes you can see how they interact with their environment around them. Cells are an organism’s basic units of structure and function. - An organism depends on its cells, whether they be eukaryotic or prokaryotic. In the prokaryotes, the DNA is not separated from the cell in a membranous nucleus and thusly affects the organism. The fact that prokaryotes are one of the only two types of cell makes this theme applicable. Themes that apply to Chapter 27

The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. -Because prokaryotes are unique in that they do not keep their DNA enclosed in a nucleus, this theme is particularly relevant. -This feature of prokaryotes affects reproduction in the cells, protein production, and beyond. DNA is a integral feature of all of an organism’s functions. That is why this theme is so applicable to this chapter.
