Wake-up 1.Explain antibacterial resistance. 2.How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics?
2
Bacteria II: Diversity
3
Six Kingdoms of Life Archaebacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Autotroph/ Heterotroph
4
Archaebacteria: Characteristics Aka: Extremophiles Live in environments that were thought unable to support life
5
Examples: Thermophiles Heating Loving Bacteria: Can live in environments up to 284°F
6
Where are they found? Thermophiles can be found in: Deep sea thermal Vents
7
Where are they found? Thermophiles can be found in: Active Volcanoes
8
Where are they found? Thermophiles can be found in: Hot Springs
9

10
And Closer……….And Closer………..
11
Examples: Methanogens Anaerobic bacteria that feeds on decaying organic material, producing water and methane gas
12
Where are they found? Methanogens can be found in: Bogs and Marshes
13
Where are they found? Methanogens can be found in: Landfills
14
Landfill gas consists of about 50% methane, which is flammable.
15
Where are they found? Methanogens can be found in: Guts (Intestines) of Animals such as Humans, Cows, Horses, and TermitesTermites
17
Examples: Halophiles Salt Loving/Photosynthetic Bacteria: They live in environments with VERY high salt concentrations
18
What is VERY high salt concentration mean? Normal ocean water has a salt level of 30 percent. They live in environments containing 10 times the salt of the ocean.
19
Where are they found? Halophiles can be found in: The Great Salt Lake, Utah
20
Where are they found? Halophiles can be found in: The Dead Sea
21
Where is the Dead Sea?
22
Many people travel to the Dead Sea to swim in the salt and cover themselves with its mud….it is thought to heal
23
It is also VERY buoyant!!!
24
Video-Start 2:02 Stop 3:10
25
Six Kingdoms of Life Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Autotroph/ Heterotroph
26
Eubacteria: Characteristics Aka: True Bacteria They can be present anywhere and everywhere They are the most numerous organisms on the planet.
27
Example: Bacillus anthracis Aka Anthrax; a deadly disease in cattle and a potential bioweapon against humans
28
Where does it come from??? In nature, it's found in spores in soil around the world
29
Where are the effect of Anthrax? Inhalation (you breathe it in your lungs) Respiratory problems and infections within the body
30
Where are the effect of Anthrax? Ingestion (you consumed it) Sores in the mouth/throat, nausea, diarrhea
31
Where are the effect of Anthrax? Cutaneous (within the skin) Creates sores; sometimes large.
34
Anthrax and 911: Bioterrorism Anthrax spores where mailed to several individuals, with the hopes of contamination
35
Example: Salmonella Type of food poisoning; Every year approximately 40,000 cases in the United States
36
What causes it? Beef, poultry, milk, and eggs are most often infected Food may be contaminated during food processing or food handling Reptiles, baby chicks and ducklings, and small rodents such as hamsters are particularly likely to carry
37
Where are the effect of Salmonella? Diarrhea, Fever, and Abdominal Cramps
