1
Classification of Bacteria
Biology CP
2
What is Bacteria? Prokaryotic Can be: Eubacteria Archaebacteria
3
What is Bacteria? Prokaryotic: does NOT have a nucleus Can be:
Eubacteria Archaebacteria
4
What is Bacteria? Prokaryotic: does NOT have a nucleus Can be:
Eubacteria Larger of the 2 kingdoms Can live almost anywhere Have a cell wall composed of PEPTIDOGLYCAN (a carbohydrate) Archaebacteria Live in harsh environments Lack peptidoglycan, different membrane lipids DNA sequences are more similar to eukaryotes
5
Match the Bacterial Shapes
Bacilli Cocci Spirilla
6
Bacterial Shapes Bacilli Cocci Spirilla Lactobacillus plantarum
Sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi Cocci Staphylococcus aureus Causes staph infection Spirilla Borrelia burgdorferi Causes Lyme disease
8
Structure of Bacteria DNA Cell Wall Plasma Membrane Cytoplasm
Ribosomes Pili Flagella
9
Types of Cell Walls Gram-Positive Gram-Negative
Thick peptidoglycan walls Stain violet Gram-Negative Thinner walls with an outer layer Stain red/pink
10
Which is gram-positive? gram-negative?
11
Metabolic Diversity Heterotrophs Autotrophs Chemoheterotrophs
Organic molecules for energy source Photoheterotrophs Use sunlight for energy source Both Have to take in organic compounds as a carbon source Chemoautotrophs Chemical reactions provide energy source Photoautotrophs Use sunlight for energy source Ex: Cyanobacteria Both Produce own food by converting CO2 and H2O to carbon compounds
12
Match the Use of Oxygen Obligate aerobe Obligate anaerobe
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Obligate anaerobe Clostridium botulinum Facultative anaerobe E. coli Can live with or without oxygen NEEDS oxygen to live Must live in an environment WITHOUT oxygen
13
Match the Use of Oxygen Obligate aerobe Obligate anaerobe
Facultative anaerobe Can live with or without oxygen NEEDS oxygen to live Must live in an environment WITHOUT oxygen
14
Bacterial Reproduction
Binary Fission Conjugation Spore Formation Example: Bacillus anthracis
