Bacterial Structure
3
Bacillus – rod shaped
4
Spirillium – spiral shaped
5
Coccus – circular shaped
6
What Shape?
9
Feeding Habits What is an Autotroph?
10
Autotroph: Photosynthesis Produce own energy
11
Example: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic
15
Autotroph: Chemosynthesis Use hydrogen sulfide from deep ocean vents
19
What is a Heterotroph?
20
Heterotroph: Parasitic Bacteria feeds off of the host. Bacteria benefits, host is harmed
21
Example: Bacillus anthracis Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax, a deadly disease in cattle and a potential bioweapon against humans. The infection is characterized by a severe hemorrhage and inflammation. The lung and skin are often involved.
26
Example: Staphylococcus Staphylococcus (a.k.a. staph) can cause serious infections and is one of the most drug-resistant bacteria.
30
Example: Streptococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae causes strep throat, meningitis, and pneumonia.
32
Heterotroph: Mutualistic Bacteria and the host benefit from each other If one were to die, the other would suffer or eventually die
33
Example: E. coli Escherichia coli (a.k.a. E. coli) lives in the gut, where it helps digest food and produces Vitamin K. The "bad" strain of E. coli O157:H7 causes severe food borne sickness.
34
Example: Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lactobacillus bulgaricus helps turn milk into cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products
35
Heterotroph: Saprophytic Bacteria consumes dead matter Bacteria functions as a decomposer
36
Binary fission: Asexual Reproduction, clone
38
Conjugation: Sexual Reproduction - Pilus extends to other bacterial cell, replicate plasmid, give plasmid
40
Archaebacteria: Thermophiles Thermus aquaticus is a heat-loving bacterium that can thrive in habitats where the temperature is sometimes as hot as 140 degrees C (284 degrees F)
44
Archaebacteria: Methanogens Found in anaerobes in digestional tracts
45
Found in sewage decomposers
46
Produce Methane Gas
47
Found in marshes
50
Archaebacteria: Halophiles Halophiles are microorganisms that live and grow in high saline/salty environments. The saline content in their environments is usually 10 times the saline/salt content of normal ocean water.. Normal ocean water has a saline/salt level of 30 percent. Some environments that halophiles live in are the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Owens Lake in California, the Dead Sea
53
Dead Sea Floaters
