Bacteria: Classification and Structure
2
What are the 6 Kingdoms? Archaebacteria Archaebacteria Eubacteria Eubacteria Protists Protists Fungi Fungi Plants Plants Animals Animals
3
We are looking at the first two Archaebacteria : Extremists. Eubacteria: Larger of the two kingdoms. Contain a variety of organisms
4
Archaebacteria Live in extreme locations: Live in extreme locations: Oxygen-free environments Oxygen-free environments Concentrated salt-water Concentrated salt-water Hot, acidic water Hot, acidic water
5
EUBACTERIA Bacteria – all are prokaryotic meaning they do not have a nucleus. Bacteria are unicellullar cells (one cell only) They are found almost everywhere: -water-air -soil-food -skin-inside the body -on most objects
6
Clean skin has about 20 million bacteria per square inch
7
The tip of a needle The red and yellow dots are bacteria
8
Structure of Bacteria Two parts to Bacteria Structure: Two parts to Bacteria Structure: Arrangement Arrangement Shape Shape
9
Spiral: spirilla rod-shaped: bacilli, bacillus Round: cocci 3 Shapes of Bacteria Bacteria are classified by shape into 3 groups:
10
7 Major parts of a Bacteria Cell Capsule Cell wall Ribosomes Nucleoid Flagella Pilli Cytoplasm
11
Capsule CAPSULE keeps the cell from drying out and helps it stick to food or other cells
12
Cell wall CELL WALL Thick outer covering that maintains the overall shape of the bacterial cell
13
Cell Wall – determined by Gram Staining. Gram positive – stain purple because they have peptidoglycan in their cell wall. Thicker cell wall, but less pathogenic.. Gram negative – stain red because they lack peptidoglycan in their cell wall. Thinner cell wall, but generally more pathogenic.
14
Penicillin kills bacteria by making holes in their cell walls. Unfortunately, many bacteria have developed resistance to this antibiotic. Penicillin kills bacteria by making holes in their cell walls. Unfortunately, many bacteria have developed resistance to this antibiotic.walls
15
Ribosomes RIBOSOMES cell part where proteins are made Ribosomes give the cytoplasm of bacteria a granular appearance in electron micrographs
16
Nucleoid NUCLEOID a ring made up of DNA
17
Pilli PILLI hollow hair-like structures made of protein allows bacteria to attach to other cells. Pilli-singular Pillus-plural
18
Flagella FLAGELLA a whip-like tail that some bacteria have for locomotion
19
Classification Movement Movement Non-motile Non-motile Flagella – whiplike structure Flagella – whiplike structure Gliding – secrete a slime Gliding – secrete a slime
20
Cytoplasm CYTOPLASM clear jelly-like material that makes up most of the cell
21
Metabolic Diversity Chemoheterotrophs: - take in organic molecules for energy. Chemoheterotrophs: - take in organic molecules for energy. Photoheterotrophs: - use sunlight and photosynthesis for energy but must also take in organic molecules for energy. Photoheterotrophs: - use sunlight and photosynthesis for energy but must also take in organic molecules for energy. Photoautotrphs:- Use sunlight energy and photosynthesis to make their own food. Photoautotrphs:- Use sunlight energy and photosynthesis to make their own food. chemoautotrophs: - use carbondioxide to make energy but do not require light. chemoautotrophs: - use carbondioxide to make energy but do not require light.
22
Energy Release Oblique aerobes: require oxygen for life. Example: Mycobacterium tuberculosis Oblique aerobes: require oxygen for life. Example: Mycobacterium tuberculosis oblique anaerobes: must live in the absence of oxygen. Example: Clostridium botulinum oblique anaerobes: must live in the absence of oxygen. Example: Clostridium botulinum Facultative anaerobes: Can live with or without oxygen. Example: Escherichia coli Facultative anaerobes: Can live with or without oxygen. Example: Escherichia coli
23
Binary Fission- the process of one organism dividing into two organisms Fission is a type of asexual reproduction Reproduction of Bacteria How?... The one main (circular) chromosome makes a copy of itself Then it divides into two Asexual reproduction- reproduction of a living thing from only one parent
24
BINARY FISSION Bacteria dividing Completed Reproduction of Bacteria
25
The time of reproduction depends on how desirable the conditions are Bacteria can rapidly reproduce themselves in warm, dark, and moist conditions Some can reproduce every 20 minutes (one bacteria could be an ancestor to one million bacteria in six hours) Reproduction of Bacteria
26
Bacterial Cell & Nucleiod DNA Ring DNA replication Cell wall synthesis Cell separation
27
Spore formation Endospore- a thick celled structure that forms inside the cell they are the major cause of food poisoning they can withstand boiling, freezing, and extremely dry conditions it encloses all the nuclear materials and some cytoplasm allows the bacteria to survive for many years
28
Bacillus subtilis Endospore-the black section in the middle highly resistant structures can withstand radiation, UV light, and boiling at 120oC for 15 minutes. Bacteria Survival
29
Bacteria Survival – Nutrition parasites – bacteria that feed on living things saprophytes – use dead materials for food (exclusively) decomposers – get food from breaking down dead matter into simple chemicals important- because they send minerals and other materials back into the soil so other organisms can use them
30
Harmful Bacteria some bacteria cause diseases Animals can pass diseases to humans Communicable Disease – Disease passed from one organism to another This can happen in several ways: Air Touching clothing, food, silverware, or toothbrush Drinking water that contains bacteria

32
Helpful Bacteria (Importance of bacteria) Decomposers help recycle nutrients into the soil for other organisms to grow Bacteria grow in the stomach of a cow to break down grass and hay (cellulose) Most are used to make antibiotics Some bacteria help make insulin Used to make industrial chemicals

34
Used to treat sewage Organic waste is consumed by the bacteria, used as nutrients by the bacteria, and is no longer present to produce odors, sludge, pollution, or unsightly mess. Foods like yogurt, cottage & Swiss cheese, sour cream, buttermilk are made from bacteria that grows in milk Helpful Bacteria
35
Controlling Bacteria 3 ways to control bacteria: 1) Canning- the process of sealing food in airtight cans or jars after killing bacteria endospores are killed during this process 2) Pasteurization- process of heating milk to kill harmful bacteria 3) Dehydration- removing water from food Bacteria can’t grow when H 2 O is removed example: uncooked noodles & cold cereal
36
Controlling Bacteria Antiseptic vs. Disinfectants Antiseptic- chemicals that kill bacteria on living things means – “against infection” Examples: iodine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, soap, mouthwash Disinfectants- stronger chemicals that destroy bacteria on objects or nonliving things
37
37 Summary on the structure of bacteria StructureFunction Cell Wall Protects and gives shape Outer Membrane Protects against antibodies (Gram Neg. Only) Cell Membrane Regulates movement of materials, contains enzymes important to cellular respiration Cytoplasm Contains DNA, ribosomes, essential compounds Chromosome Carries genetic information Plasmid Contains some genes obtained through recomb. Capsule & Slime Layer Protects the cell and assist in attaching cell to other surfaces Endospore Protects cell agains harsh enviornments Pilus Assists the cell in attaching to other surfaces Flagellum Moves the cell
38
Bacteria and Diseases. Some bacteria cause diseases --Disease causing bacteria are called PATHOGENS.
39
