Viruses
2
What is a pathogen? Agent of disease Bacteria Viruses Fungi
Environmental Substances
3
What is a Virus? Nucleic Acids Proteins Sometimes Lipids DNA RNA
Capsid- protein coat Sometimes Lipids
4
Viral Infections Lytic- virus injects cell with DNA or RNA and cell is tricked into making multiple copies of the virus, eventually there are so many viruses produces that the cell bursts and the viruses are spread to other cells
5
Viral Infections Lysogenic cycle- virus injects cell with DNA or RNA and cell copies virus every time the cell copies itself
6
Viral Infections Viruses may switch back and forth from Lytic to Lysogenic at any given time
7
Bacteriophages Viruses that infect bacteria T4
8
Viral Cycles
9
Viruses in plants Tobacco Mosaic
Difficult for viruses to enter cells because of cell wall Take advantage of damage to plant May be spread by insects Potato yellow dwarf virus - leafhopper
10
Viruses in Animals Foot and mouth-cattle Rabies
Oncongenic viruses (cancer causing)
11
Viruses in Humans Cold Influenza Smallpox Aids (Retrovirus-RNA)
Chickenpox Measles Hepatitis A,B,C Polio West Nile
12
Virus Treatment Typically we treat symptoms
Typically vaccines try to prevent you from getting
13
Virus Pics
14
Virus-like partials Viroids- RNA no protein
Prions- Protein no DNA or RNA – may form protein clumps in nerve tissue and disrupt its function
15
Bacteria Prokaryotes- no nucleus Two main groups
Archaebacteria- harsh environments no peptidoglycan in cell walls Eubacteria- peptidoglycan in cell walls
16
Archaebacteria Genes like eukaryotes (nucleus) No peptidoglycan (Carb)
Harsh environments Methanogens Mud Digestive tracts Anaerobic (no oxygen) Salt Hot water
17
Eubacteria Peptidoglycan in cell wall Gram positive Gram negative
Purple stain- thicker cell walls Gram negative Pink -thinner cell walls Which is important when it comes to antibiotics.
18
Bacteria Reproduction
Sexual Conjugation Asexual Copy Endospores Survive rough times
19
Obtaining Energy Foldable
Photosynthesis Chemoautotrophs Heterotrophs Draw and Label pic p.446
20
Photoautotrophs Grouped based on pigments they contain
Some are aerobic and some are anaerobic Cyanobacteria Important for fixing nitrogen Found in lichens May have made Oxygen in Earth’s early atmosphere
21
Chemoautotrophs Use inorganic molecules to make energy
Ammonia Hydrogen sulfide Methane Important for nitrogen fixation in the roots of plants
22
Heterotrophs Category that most bacteria fall into
Some are aerobic some anaerobic Some do nitrogen fixation Crop rotation of legumes adds nitrogen to soil Great importance as decomposers
23
Harmful Bacteria Directly attacking host tissue Releasing Toxins
24
Antibiotics Antibiotics are used to fight bacterial infections
Many antibiotics are developed from chemicals produced by fungi Overuse of antibiotics can cause antibiotic resistance Overuse of antibacterial soaps
25
Bacterial Uses Genetically altered to produce drugs and medicines
Used to produce chemicals for industrial use Mining Clean up oil spills Food
26
Bacteria in Food Pickles Buttermilk Cheese Sauerkraut Olives Vinegar
Sourdough
27
Typical E. Coli
28
Bacterial Shapes
29
Bacterial Diseases
30
Viral Diseases Type of Virus Nucleic Acid Disease Oncogenic viruses
Retrovirus Adenoviruses Herpesviruses Poxviruses DNA RNA Cancer Cancer, AIDS Respiratory infections Chickenpox Smallpox

Virus Versus Cell

Sample Experiment A student placed a disk of filter paper in each of the following solutions: disinfectant 1, disinfectant 2, disinfectant 3, and distilled water. While the four disks were soaking in their respective solutions, she streaked a sterile nutrient agar dish with a culture of E. coli bacteria. Then, she placed each disk carefully onto the nutrient agar dish, placed the lid on the dish, taped it shut, and incubated the dish at 37°C for several days. Figure 19–4 shows how the nutrient agar dish looked on Day 1 and Day 4.

Questions What is the student probably trying to test?
What is the control in the experiment? How can the student measure the effectiveness of each disinfectant? Which disinfectant was the most effective at controlling the growth of E. coli? How do you know?
