Bacterial Kingdoms 1.Archaebacteria Called “Ancient” bacteria Live in harsh environments- volcanic vents, hot springs, salty water Require little or no oxygen Methanogens produce methane gas
4
Bacterial Kingdoms Methanogens Get energy by changing H 2 & CO 2 into methane gas Found in swamps, sewage treatment plants, digestive tracts of animals
5
Bacterial Kingdoms 2. Eubacteria True bacteria Largest and most diverse Found everywhere Heterotrophic Aerobic or anaerobic
6
Bacterial Structure microscopic prokaryotes (no nucleus) can fit 1,000 to 10,000 in the diameter of a dime

Bacterial Structure
8
Bacterial Nutrition feed on dead organic matter Parasites – feed on a host cell Photoautotroph – use sunlight to make food such as iron or sulfur to make foodChemoautotroph – oxidize inorganic matter such as iron or sulfur to make food
9
Bacterial Respiration 1. Some are obligate aerobes Require oxygen to live EX. Mycobacterium tuberculosis 2. Some are obligate anaerobes Die if oxygen is present EX. Clostridium botulinum 3. Some are facultative anaerobes Need Oxygen but aren’t killed by it EX. Escherichia coli
10
Bacterial Shapes 1.Bacilli rod shaped bacteria E. coli., Bacillus Anthracis, Clostridium Botulinum
11
Bacilli
12
Bacterial Shapes 2. Cocci spherical shaped bacteria Arranged in clusters Streptococcus, staphylococcus
13
Cocci – Staph on Skin
14
Staph Infection
15
Bacterial Shapes 3. Spirilla spiral shaped bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi
16

17
Bacterial Movement Move by flagella, sliding on layer of slime, wiggle like snakes
18
Bacterial Reproduction Under proper conditions, bacteria can reproduce every 20 minutes. 3 ways
19
Bacterial Reproduction 1.Binary fission Asexual reproduction C’some replicates and cell divides All new cells are identical No exchange of genes
20
Bacterial Reproduction 2. Conjugation Protein bridge forms between two bacteria and genes are exchanged sexual reproduction New cells not identical
21
Bacterial Reproduction 3. Spore formation Thick wall which encloses DNA and cytoplasm Protects bacteria against hostile environments (endospore) “come back to life” when favorable Difficult to kill
22
Bacteria and Disease Louis Pasteur First person to show that bacteria cause disease Developed what is known as Germ Theory of Disease
23
Bacteria and Disease Two ways bacteria cause infection 1.Attacks cells and tissues of body and use them for nourishment 2.Release poisons that interfere with body functions
24
Bacteria and Disease Two ways to fight bacteria 1.vaccine prevents infection from getting started – only sometime 2. Antibiotics drugs that can destroy bacteria
25
Bacterial Diseases Strep throat, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, tetanus, lyme disease, food poisoning, ulcer, MRSA, and many more
26
Benefits of Bacteria 1.Decomposers and recyclers 2.symbiotic relationships situation where both organisms benefit EX. E.coli in intestines
27
Benefits of Bacteria 3. Fertilizers convert nitrogen into a chemical that plants can use through a process called nitrogen fixation. EX. legumes - nuts
28
Benefits of Bacteria 4. make foods such as cheese, yogurt, vinegar 5. Breakdown sewage – Rid –X 6. Degrade oil
29
Controlling Bacteria 1.Sterilization using heat to kill bacteria 2. Food storage slow the growth 3. Food processing boiling, frying, steaming 4. Physical Removal washing hands or surfaces, surgery 5. Disinfectants chemicals
33
Bacterial Shapes
34
Controlling Bacteria 1.Sterilization using heat or chemicals to kill bacteria autoclave 2. Refrigeration prevents bacteria from reproducing
35
Bacterial Structure 1.Cell wall protects and gives shape; made of carbs - peptidoglycan 2.Outer membrane protects against some antibiotics
36
Bacterial Structure 3. Cell membrane regulates what enters 4. Cytoplasm contains the organelles 5. Plasmid circular piece of DNA
37
Bacterial Structure 6. Genetic material circular DNA molecule 7. Flagellum hairlike structure that moves the bacteria
38
Bacterial Structure 8. Ribosome makes proteins 9. pili short appendages Adhere bacteria to surfaces
39
Bacterial Cell Wall Very important; used to classify bacteria Single or double
40
Bacterial Cell Wall Identified using gram staining. Gram staining If purple appearance under a microscope, bacteria have single cell wall (gram positive) If red appearance under a microscope, double cell wall (gram negative)
