3 DOMAINS – Tree of Life
3
More on Classification Why the change from 5 kingdom to 6 kingdom?
4
Prokaryotes: Eukaryotes: What came first: Prokaryote or eukaryote?
5
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
6
Archaea VS Bacteria Single celled Prokaryotes Ribosomes, Cell Wall, (Flagella – optional) Common Ancestor Size/Shape Mesophiles Cell wall composed of protein Cell wall composed of peptidoglycan (sugar- protein complex) DNA, RNA, protein synthesis machinery DNA, RNA, protein synthesis machinery Extremophiles Reproduction Mesophiles Do not respond to antibiotics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-EYTtxsL8g Where they are found Single celled Prokaryotes Ribosomes, Cell Wall, (Flagella – optional) Common Ancestor Size/Shape Mesophiles Cell wall composed of protein Cell wall composed of peptidoglycan (sugar- protein complex) DNA, RNA, protein synthesis machinery DNA, RNA, protein synthesis machinery Extremophiles Reproduction Mesophiles Do not respond to antibiotics

BACTERIA
8
Methods of Classification Shape Gram Staining Habitat Nutrition
9
DIFFERENT SHAPES Coccus (pl. cocci) Bacillus (pl. bacilli) Spirochetes (pl. spirilli)
10
-Gram stain applied to bacteria to determine cell wall composition Gram Staining
11
Gram-negative bacteria Gram Staining Results Gram-positive bacteria
12
HabitatMETHANOGENS -Produce methane gas -Found in guts of some animals HALOPHILES - Salt loving THERMOPHILES -Heat lovers MESOPHILES - Live in moderate temperatures of 15-40ºC
13
Nutrition Autotrophs -Heterotrophs –

Transformation
19
Transduction
20
Endospore Formation Question: Why is the formation of an endospore beneficial to the bacteria?
21
BENEFICIAL USES OF BACTERIA Nitrogen fixation Recombinant DNA technology Genetic studies
22
Other Applications of Bacteria Waste Management – bioremediation uses bacteria to remove toxic material (oil, acid, pesticides, radioactive wastes) Sewage Treatment – bacteria decompose organic matter (i.e. septic tanks with human feces) Dairy Foods – used to create dairy products (texture, flavour). – Probiotic bacteria in yogurt!
