PresentationOutline Systematics Bacterial size Shape Cell Envelope
Spores Flagella Background terms and concepts Proteins Membranes Formation of lipid bilayers Prokaryotes Prokaryotes vs eukaryotes Evolution of eukaryotes
3
Empires Level of organization above the kingdom level
Archaea (formerly Archaebacteria) Bacteria ( formerly Eubacteria) Eucarya (plants, animals, protista, fungi)
4
Three Empires Fossil Record & Morphology Cellular
Five Kingdoms- plants, animals, protistia, fungi , prokaryotes Prokaryotes - Eubacteria, Archeobacteria Cellular Three kingdoms, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Eukaryotes
5
Bacterial Size Cell Smallest Average Largest
Bacterial 0.1m m mm Animal 1m m m Plant m m ?

Isolated Murein Layer
17
After Peptidase hydrolysis
18
Lysozyme cleavage of Murein
19
Archaea: Cell Membranes
lack fatty acids contain ethers gylcerol diethers , bilayers Tetraethers form monolayers Fixed number of carbons in hydrocarbons flexibility via pentacylic rings Large amounts of nonpolar lipids isoprenoids eg squalene
20
Archaea: Cell Walls NO muramic acid NO D amino acids
pseudopeptidoglycan (Methanobacterium) N acetyltalosaminuronic acid glycoprotein (Halobacterium) highly negative charge balances positive charges of sodium Protein
21
Archaea: Genetics Half size of bacterial genomes
1900 KB vs 4700 KB (E coli) Bacterial Similarities Polygenic mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequences for ribosome binding Eucarya Similarities RNA polymerase II
