PART I Chapter 18 Archaebacteria & Eubacteria
2
Phylogeny
3
Characteristics First living evidence on earth Unicellular Prokaryotes (No membrane-bound organelles) Cell wall with internal plasma membrane Found everywhere
4
Bacteria
5
Special Features Pilus/pili - hairlike protrusion –to stick to surfaces –a bridge for sexual reproduction Flagellum - long, whiplike protrusion, for moving Capsule - sticky layers around cell wall Toxin - a powerful poison Endospore – found in some bacteria –resists harsh environments

Endospores

Classification: Shape –Cocci (Spheres), Bacilli (Rods), Spirilli (Spiral) Gram stain - Cell wall type –Thick = Purple Stain = “Gram Positive” –Thin = Pink Stain = “Gram Negative” Growth patterns –Diplo- pairs –Staphylo- clusters –Strepto- chains

PART II Chapter 18 Archaebacteria & Eubacteria
17
Archaebacteria – ancient bacteria Methanogens Live in: Oxygen-free env. Produce methane gas Halophiles Live in: Salt water Acidophiles: Live in: Hot, acidic water
18
Eubacteria - “True” bacteria Live in more habitable environments Heterotrophs Photosynthetic Autotrophs Chemosynthetic Autotrophs Saprophytes (decomposers) Need sunlight to make food Need sulfur & nitrogen to make food Parasites (cause disease) Example: Cyanobacteria Nitrogen fixation (FIX the nitrogen)
19
Cyanobacteria - “blue-green bacteria” Algae + Bacteria
20
Sulfur Bacteria
21
Beneficial Bacteria Nitrogen fixation –Converts nitrogen into ammonia –a form that plants can use Nodules –A symbiotic relationship between bacteria and plants
22
(Beneficial Bacteria) Saprophytes (decomposers) –Breaks down dead organisms and decaying matter –Returns nutrients to soil
23
(Beneficial Bacteria) Make food: –Cheese –Pickles –Yogurt –Vinegar –Sauerkraut
24
Cellular Respiration Obligate Aerobes Obligate Anaerobes Need OxygenDie from Oxygen
25
Pathogenic Bacteria – disease-causing bacteria Pathogen – an organism that causes disease Produce toxins Damage host’s tissues Enter through openings in body (via air, food, water)
26
Antibiotics: ~ Destroys cell wall of bacteria ~ Creates holes in the cell walls Sir Alexander Fleming 1928 - discovered Penicillium notatum
27
Air-Born
28
Air-Born Bacteria
29
Reproduction Asexual Binary Fission –Cell division Rapid - 20 min. Sexual Conjugation – exchange genetic material Pili/pilus - bridge
30
Binary Fission: Asexual Reproduction
31
Conjugation - Sexual Reproduction
