TRANSCRIPT
6 Kingdoms of Life Part 1:
Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, and
Fungi1
Characteristics of Living Things• 5 characteristics of living things
– Made up of cells– Reproduce – Based on genetic code– Metabolism– Homeostasis
• To be considered living, an object MUST have ALL 5 characteristics
2
• As living things are constantly being investigated, new attributes are revealed that affect how organisms are placed in a standard classification system.
3
Classification• Scientists have
determined seven levels of classification: – Kingdom = Kings– Phylum = Pass– Class = Classes– Order = to Order – Family = Families– Genus = and their Good – Species = Sons around 4
Classification of Modern Humans
• Kingdom = Animalia• Phylum = Chordata• Class = Mammalia• Order = Primates • Family = Hominidae• Genus = Homo• Species = sapiens
5
• The grouping of organisms into KINGDOMS is based on 3 factors:
– 1. Cell Type – 2. Cell Number – 3. Feeding Type
6
1st Criterion for Kingdom Divisions: Cell Type
Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes
7
6 kingdoms
1. Eubacteria2. Archaebacteria
3. Protista4. Fungi5. Plantae6. Animalia
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
8
2nd Criterion for Kingdom Divisions: Cell Number
•Unicellular- single celled organism – protozoans, bacteria, some algae•Multicellular- many celled organism – cells start to specialize/differentiate
9
• Unicellular • Multicellular
10
3rd Criteria for Kingdom Divisions: Feeding Type
–Autotroph or Producer
Make their own energy source
–Heterotroph or ConsumerMust eat other organisms to surviveIncludes decomposers – those that eat dead matter!
11
Archaebacteria and EubacteriaKingdoms
12
BacteriaMicrobiology- the study of very small,
microscopic organisms– Bacteria– Fungi– Viruses– Protists– Etc.
13
Bacteria=Prokaryotes Prokaryotes Eukaryotes No organelles except Lots of
organellesribosomes INCLUDING NUCLEUS
NO NUCLEUS
14
Prokaryotic History
• Oldest organisms: 3.5 billion yrs. old.
• Live in almost every environment.
15
Eubacteria• Kingdom Eubacteria
– Common environments
– Believed to be the ancestors of mitochondria and chloroplasts---organelles in eukaryotic cells
16
Archaebacteria• Kingdom Archaebacteria
– Found in extreme environments-extremophiles
– Ancient bacteria-gave rise to eukaryotic cells
17
Characteristics-Size• Size
• Red blood cell is 250X’s larger than a bacterium
• 1 gram of soil can contain 2.5 BILLION bacteria
• Relative bacteria size
18
Characteristics-Shapes
• Shapes:– Cocci- round– Bacilli- rod-
shaped– Spirilla- spiral
19
Prokaryotic Structure• Interior structures
– Has DNA and cytoplasm—no nucleus or other membrane bound organelles EXCEPT ribosomes
– Ribosomes- the protein making factories of all cells
20
Prokaryotic Structure
• Exterior structures– Flagella-whip-like
tail for locomotion– Cell membrane to
control what goes in and out
– Cell wall for protection
21
2 Types of Cell Walls
• 2 types of cell walls found in bacteria– Identified as Gram
+ or Gram –– There’s a chemical
difference b/t them.
22
Gram staining
• Special staining process
• “Gram positive is purple; Gram negative is not.”
23
2 Types of Cell Walls
• Gram +– Thick cell wall– Holds purple stain,
so cells look purple
• Gram -—Two thin layers make up cell wall—Doesn’t hold purple stain so appears pink
24
2 Types of Cell Walls• Treatment of illness due to
these bacteria is different!– Gram - : bacteria that stain pink
and are generally NOT affected by antibiotics • i.e. E. coli
– Gram +: bacteria that stain purple do to a thick cell wall and are affected by antibiotics• i.e. S. pneumoniae
25
Prokaryotic Reproduction• Binary fission- process
of asexual reproduction where 1 becomes 2.– Results in clones– Colony- 1000’s of
bacteria that result from one undergoing binary fission
26
How are prokaryotes so diverse?• They have several ways of exchanging genetic info
• Conjugation--exchanging DNA through a straw-like tube called a pilus
• Transformation—another method of transferring genes between bacteria.
27
Useful Prokaryotes• Decomposers- Recycle nutrients such as
CO2 , water, nitrogen, and phosphorus
28
Useful Prokaryotes•Nitrogen fixation- soil bacteria take nitrogen gas from the air (N2) and change it into a useable form that plants can absorb (NH3- ammonia.)
•Plants use the nitrogen to produce their proteins and DNA.
•Some bacteria are photosynthetic and also provide oxygen

Useful Prokaryotes• Food-- yogurt, olives, pickles,
chocolate• Drugs -- insulin production• Clean up oil spills• Animal digestion and vitamins,
including our own• Microbe Discovery Movie
30
Harmful Prokaryotes• Pathogen- disease causing organisms.• Pathologists -scientists who study pathogens.• Not many bacteria are pathogenic— ONLY 1%!• Disease Transmission:
a.) Waterb.) Airc.) Foodd.) Animals/Insectse.) Human Contact
31
Prokaryotic Diseases
• Tuberculosis• Syphilis• Bubonic Plague• Typhus• Tetanus• Lyme Disease
32
Controlling Prokaryotic Growth
• What do bacteria require to live and reproduce?- Food, water, and the right climate.-Give bacteria these things, and they grow; remove them and they don’t.
33
Nutrition and Energy• How do bacteria “eat”?
– 1.) Autotrophic- “self-feeders” • Photosynthetic- MAKE energy
source and release oxygen
• Can also be chemosynthetic– 2.) Heterotrophic- “other-feeders”
• GET energy source outside themselves– Consumers– Decomposers– Parasites 34
Feeding Prokaryotes in the Lab
• Plastic Petri dishes have a Jell-O like substance called AGAR with nutrients and water for bacteria to grow on.
35
GROWTH CURVE
36
Controlling Prokaryotic Growth
• Antibiotics• Sanitizing--
Antiseptics and Disinfectants
• Freezing• Cooking• Pasteurizing• Dehydrating• Vaccination
37
Antibiotics• Alexander Fleming• Mold on his Petri dish had a zone of
inhibition- area in which bacteria didn’t grow.
• Mold released the antibiotic penicillin
• Antibiotic=against life; any substance produced by a microbe that slows the growth of other microorganisms.
MOLD
BACTERIA
38
Antibiotics• Antibiotics are made by :
– Fungus (mold) – Other bacteria, the most
common Streptomyces.– Present day antibiotics
are synthetic modifications of naturally occurring ones.
• Work well on Gram + bacteria
• NOT the same thing as aspirin or tylenol, which are pain killers Each paper disk has antibiotics on it.
Which antibiotic is more powerful?
BACTERIA
39
Antibiotic Resistance• Antibiotic resistance- some
bacteria are not affected by certain antibiotics!
• Can be resistant due to:– Special cell walls (i.e. Gram –
bacteria) OR– Special antibiotic resistant genes
• Don’t finish antibiotics: – Weaker bacteria destroyed. – **Resistant bacteria still live and
pass on resistant genes through binary fission, conjugation and transformation
– Conjugation animation Movie40
Sanitizing• Antiseptics- chemicals used to inhibit growth of bacteria on living
tissues
• Disinfectants- chemicals used to inhibit growth of bacteria on NON-living things.
41
Freezing
• How would this control the growth of bacteria?
• Would freezing kill all the bacteria?
42
Cooking
• Cooking can control bacterial growth and kill most bacteria if heated to certain temps—165F or hotter.
• Use a meat thermometer
• Wash hands after handling raw meat 43
Pasteurizing• Pasteurization- using heat to kill
bacteria in liquids.
44
Dehydrating• Dehydration- removal of water from a
substance• How would this control the growth of
bacteria?
45
Vaccination• Vaccination- a shot, pill, or mist that
prevents you from getting a disease. DOES NOT CURE YOU.
• Fast and strong immune system memory cells produced which provides immunity just like if you got the disease (i.e. tetanus.)
46
Vaccination• Can use weakened (attenuated) bacteria or viruses• MOSTLY use parts of bacteria or viruses—acellular• Vaccine video

Protist Kingdom
49
Kingdom Protista
50
Protists, what are they?• Protists are defined by what they
are NOT…– Eukaryotes that are not plants,
animals, or fungi• 1st eukaryotic organisms• Autotrophic or heterotrophic• Asexual or sexual reproduction• Most are unicellular (algae
exception)• Many are aquatic• “Junk drawer kingdom” 51
Protists and the Evolutionary Tree
We are going to take a look at some phyla within the Protist Kingdom
52
Animal-like Protists• Unicellular• Heterotrophic organisms• Animal like protists are distinguished by how they move:
1) Sarcodines—move with pseudopods2) Ciliates—move with cilia
3) Zooflagellates—move with flagella 4) Sporozoans—immobile
• Protist movement animation
53
Sarcodines• Animal-like protists that use
pseudopods for feeding and moving• Pseudopods-extensions of cytoplasm• Ex) Amoeba
FOOD
Amoeba microscope footage54
Sarcodines
• Ameobic dysentery
• Montezuma’s revenge or “traveler’s diarrhea”
Ameoba histolytica
55
Ciliates• Animal-like protists that use cilia for feeding and movement• Cilia-hair-like structures• Ex) Paramecium
Paramecium microscope footage 56
Zooflagellates• Animal-like protists swim
using flagella• Trypanosoma protist
spread by the bite of tsetse fly causes African Sleeping Sickness
• Giardia can contaminate water and cause digestive problems
• Trichonympha lives in mutualistic relationship with termites
57
Sporozoans• Animal-like protists that don’t move on
their own and are parasitic• Plasmodium sporozoan causes malaria• Sporozoan parasite is carried by female
Anopheles mosquito
58
Plasmodium Life Cycle• Mosquito bites human and
parasite injected• Parasites invade liver,
reproduce, and develop• Liver cells burst and
parasites move to red blood cells
• RBC burst-person experiences anemia, fever, chills, may result in death
• Parasites may then move into other RBC or are picked up by mosquito and transferred to another person
59
Plantlike Protists• Autotrophs- contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis
• Euglenophytes• Diatoms• Algae
• Often called “phytoplankton”- small photosynthetic organisms near the surface of ocean
• Releases tons of oxygen into the atmosphere• Important food source for many “filter feeders”
60
Euglenophytes• Plant-like protists that have flagella and
chloroplast, but no cell wall.• Ex) Euglena• Autotrophs when sunny but heterotrophs when not
Euglena microscope footage 61
Diatoms• Plant-like protists that produce thin,
delicate cell walls made of silicon• Used in toothpaste, paints on license plates,
dynamite
62
Algae• Plant-like protists
– Unicellular algae – Multicellular algae
•Red and brown algae•Contains special pigments that allows it to live deep areas of water
•Commonly called “seaweed” (ex: Kelp)
63
Plantlike Protists: Algae
• Green Algae- some are unicellular, some form colonies, few are multicellular
64
Humans and Algae• Humans understand many beneficial uses of algae:
1) Used to make nutrient agar2) Used as ingredient in ice cream, pudding, salad dressing, syrups3) Food source – humans and other animals4) Releases oxygen from photosynthesis
• Algae causes harm in “algal blooms” – depletes water of nutrients and oxygen
65
Fungus-like Protists• Decomposers• Heterotrophic protists that
absorb nutrients, but lack cell walls with chitin– Slime molds- found near moist,
rotting logs and composts – Slime mold video– Water molds – can be parasitic
and cause “ick” in fish
66
67
Fungi Kingdom
68
Fungi
• All fungi are eukaryotic
• They may be unicellular or multicellular (most)
Unicellular (yeast)
Multicellular
yeast
69
Fungi Characteristics• Most are immobile • All have cell walls made of “chitin”- a
carbohydrate which also makes up the exoskeleton of insects
CHITIN!
70
Fungal Structure• Fungi are made of thin strands called hyphae• Each strand consists of cells separated by a
wall called a septa
71
Fungal Structure (cont.)• As hyphae grow,
they form a tangled mass called a mycelium
• The mycelium is usually underground or embedded in some food source
• The main function of mycelium is to absorb food
72
Nutritional Status of Fungi• Heterotrophs because they feed off non-living, organic matter
• All fungi must absorb food outside the body– Animals = ingest then digest– Fungi = digest then ingest.– Enzymes break down food outside of body (use
“exoenzymes”). • Important decomposers in the ecosystem• Along with bacteria, fungi are important in recycling nutrients
such as carbon and nitrogen
73
Fungal Reproduction
• The part of the fungus that we see above ground is called the fruiting body
• The fruiting body is the main reproductive part of the fungus
74
75
76
77
Fungal Reproduction• Fungi reproduce asexually and sexually.• Asexual reproduction can be done by…
a. Hyphae breaking off and growing on their own.
b. Producing spores.
78
Fungal Reproduction• Fungal spores are found in almost any environment.• Wind blows spores land in “favorable” spot
new fungus.• Some fungi attract animals to aid in spore
dispersal. Ex.) Stinkhorn fungus
79
Fungal Reproduction• Sexual reproduction involves
two different mating types• No males or females, instead
they are known as “+” plus or “-” minus.
• When hyphae from two different mating types come together, they fuse together forming a diploid zygote.
80
Groups of Fungi
• The main phyla of fungi are divided according to how they sexually produce spores– 1.) Zygomycetes– 2.) Ascomycetes– 3.) Basidiomycetes– 4.) Deuteromycetes
81
Zygomycetes• Ex.) Bread mold• Some of the hyphae form a
zygosporangium which produces spores• Spores can be carried by wind
82
Ascomycetes (sac fungi)• Ex.) Yeast and mildew• Form spores in saclike structures called asci• Each ascus bursts open shooting spores into the air
83
Basidiomycetes (club fungi)• Ex.) Mushrooms, toadstools, bracket fungi• Spores form under the caps of
mushrooms on structures called basidia
84
Deuteromycetes
• Ex.) Penicillin, many disease causing fungi.
• These fungi do not reproduce sexually.
85
Helpful Fungi
• Fungi can be very helpful and delicious
• Many antibacterial drugs are derived from fungi
• Fungi accounts for the blue vein in blue cheese!
Penicillin
86
Harmful Fungi• Fungi also causes a number of
plant and animal diseases:
•Athlete's Foot
87
Harmful Fungi• Ringworm• Fungi on discoveryed
