Bacteria
2
Eubacteria (True Bacteria) Archaebacteria (Ancient)
A. 2 types: Eubacteria (True Bacteria) Archaebacteria (Ancient)
3
No membrane bound organelles
B. Bacteria Features: Microscopic Prokaryotes No Nucleus No membrane bound organelles
4
More structures that all bacteria have:
Cell wall Cell membrane Cytoplasm DNA
5
C. Bacteria Shapes Cocci sphere Streptococci chains of spheres
Staphylococci clusters of spheres
6
More Shapes Bacilli Rod Shaped Spirilla Spiral or curly
7
Bacteria Structures
8
D. Harsh conditions survived through:
Capsules slime layers that help bacteria evade immune system Endospores dormant structure
9
E. Movement: Flagella long whiplike structure (few)
Cillia short hair like structures (many)
10
F. Reproduction 1.)Binary Fission asexual reproduction; bacteria duplicates into two 2.)Conjugation sexual reproduction by using pili Pili = hair like projections that help exchange DNA
11
3.) Cultures When humans aid bacterial growth
Bacteria are grown in petri dishes on agar – a nutrient broth Helps scientists determine the type of bacteria that is growing in an area
12
G. Antibiotics History 1st to discover antibiotics???
Alexander Fleming PENICILLIN HOW?? By accident with bread and fungi
13
Nobel Prize Later Howard Flory received the Nobel Prize for Penicillin
14
Antiseptics Antibiotics Kills or inhibits bacterial growth
Applied directly to skin Exs: Neosporin, Alcohol Drugs taken orally that kill BACTERIAL INFECTIONS Exs: Amoxicillin, Pennicilin, Zithromax,
15
Virus
16
General Facts No Kingdom Non-living Has DNA /RNA No Cells
17
A. Structure Made up of nucleic acids Either DNA or RNA
18
Structure (cont’d) Capsid – protein coating surrounding the nucleic acid Ex. Stomach Virus, Naked Envelope: made of lipids and is outside of the capsid EX. HIV, Flu, Chicken Pox
19
B. Intracellular Parasites
Obligate Intracellular parasite Goes into a cell, replicates, and kills host RNA Viruses known as Retrovirus THE WORST Retroviruses have reverse transcriptase: when RNA begins making DNA and then replicates and mutates
20
What kind of host cell? C. Replication of Virus
Bacteriophage – virus that infect bacteria and is virulent (fast acting) Ex. Stomach flu What kind of host cell?
21
Bacteriophage
22
Reproduction (cont’d)
Lytic Cycle – virulent; makes new virus quickly Lysogenic Cycle –temperate or dormant stage; incubates until conditions are tolerable Ex. Herpes, HIV
23
D. Subcellular Particles
Not viruses Viroids – smallest particle to replicate, has no capsid, and affects plants Ex. Potato Blight, Orange Blight
24
D. Subcellular Particles
Prions – an abnormal form of protein that infects animals Ex. Scrapie, BSE (mad cow disease), Kuru
25
Full words of Abbreviations
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy BSE Escherichia coli
