Prokaryotic Cells
• Unicellular• No nucleus• No membrane-bound organelles• Do contain DNA
![Page 3: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2 Kingdoms• Archaebacteria “ancient bacteria”• Eubacteria “true bacteria”
![Page 4: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Archaebacteria: The Extremists
• Live in harsh environments
![Page 5: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Methanogens: – Produce methane– Live in oxygen free environments– Found in swamps, marshes, stomachs of
cows– Sewage disposal plants- help breakdown
sewage
![Page 6: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. Halophiles: Salt-loving • Live in salt pools left after a lake has
evaporated–pools have high levels of magnesium and
potassium salts–Utah’s Great Salt Lake and Middle East’s
Dead Sea
![Page 7: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3. Thermoacidophiles: Heat- and acid-loving – Live around deep ocean vents– Temperatures are often above 100ºC–Anaerobic (without oxygen)– Live in hot, acidic waters of sulfur springs
![Page 8: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Eubacteria• Live everywhere except extreme
environments
1. Heterotrophs–Use organic molecules as food source– Some are parasites – Some are saprophytes (feed on dead
organisms or organic wastes – break down and recycle nutrients)
![Page 9: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Photoautotrophs–Photosynthetic autotrophs - Live in places
with sunlight–Cyanobacteria – contain chlorophyll
(pigment) that traps the sun’s energy • Live in ponds, streams, and moist areas of land• Composed of chains of independent cells
![Page 10: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3. Chemoautotrophs–Make organic molecules–Obtain energy by breaking down compounds
with sulfur and nitrogen and releasing the energy in the process called chemosynthesis–Bacteria in Plants– able to convert atmospheric
nitrogen into the nitrogen-containing compounds that plants need
![Page 11: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bacteria Structure• Ribosomes- protein
synthesis• Chromosome-
single circular DNA molecule
• Cell Wall- support and protection
• Flagella- motility
![Page 12: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Pilli (sing. Pillus) hair like structure to aid in reproduction and attaching to one another
• Capsule- sticky, gelatinous, surrounds cell wall to protect against desiccation
• Cytoplasm- thick liquid within cytoplasmic membrane
• Plasmid- small circular piece of DNA
![Page 13: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If Bacteria don’t have mitochondria, how do they get their energy?
• Occurs at cell membrane
![Page 14: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Identifying Bacteria• Bacteria are separated into two groups based
on characteristics of cell wall• Cell walls made of peptidoglycan (sugar and
amino acid molecules) which helps structure and maintain shape (target for antibiotics)
• Technique called gram staining is used to do this
![Page 15: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Gram Stain• First, crystal violet dye is added. Then, a second
dye is added.• Gram + bacteria retain crystal violet dye• Gram – bacteria appear red or pink after a
counterstain is added (commonly safranin)
![Page 17: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Gram-positive: one thick layer of peptidoglycan (protein and sugar)
2. Gram-negative: one thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer lipid and sugar layer
![Page 18: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Identifying Bacteria• Bacteria shape (plural)– Cocci (spheres)– Bacilli (rods)– Spirilla (spirals)
Growth patternDiplo (paired arrangement)Staphylo (grape arrangement)Strepto (chain of cells)
![Page 19: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strepto-Coccus
![Page 20: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strepto-Bacillus
![Page 21: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spirillum
![Page 22: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How do bacteria get around?
• Flagella vs Cilia
• Flagella use whip like motions to move
• Cilia use a beating motion to move (eukaryotes only)
![Page 23: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remember:• Bacterial DNA– Circular– Free floating in the bacterial cytoplasm
![Page 24: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A well fed bacteria is two happy bacteria
• ATP- when used, turns into ADP (Tri-phosphate or Di-phosphate)
• Bacteria have a protein called DnaA that starts the process of DNA replication (first step in fission)
• DnaA+ADP = nothing ; DnaA+ATP = replication
![Page 25: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bacteria Reproduction1. Asexual by binary fission–DNA replicated–DNA pulled to separate poles as
bacterium increases in size–A partition forms and separate the
cells–Results in genetically identical cells–Can be rapid –ideal conditions every
20 minutes
![Page 26: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Plasmids• Extra circle of DNA that can replicate
independently • Can be transferred to another Bacterium• Typically carries a beneficial trait. e.g.
antibiotic resistance.
![Page 28: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2. Conjugation• Bacteria conjugate if one of them have special
“F” factor (fertility factor)
• The F+ bacteria (donor) makes a Pilus, and transfers the F plasmid to the F- recipient.
• Recipient is now F+
• Results in a bacteria with new genetic composition
![Page 30: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Spore Formation• Endospore: tiny structure that contains a
bacterium’s DNA and a small amount of its cytoplasm– Encased by tough outer covering–Resists drying out, extreme temperature,
harsh chemicals– If environmental conditions improve, then
endospore germinate– To kill endospores, items must be sterilized
(i.e. heated under high pressure)
![Page 32: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Metabolism
• 2 Types: Aerobic and Anaerobic
• Aerobic Bacteria require oxygen to produce energy
• Anaerobic Bacteria don’t require oxygen to produce energy
![Page 34: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• When typing Bacteria- Gram’s stain is #1, then comes how they make energy
• Obligate Anaerobic (Can’t live with oxygen)• Facultative Anaerobic (can get by either way)• Obligate Aerobic (Can’t live without oxygen)
![Page 35: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Where can they get energy from?
![Page 36: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Importance of BacteriaEcological Role1. Production of nutrients
a) Nitrogen fixationb) Vitamin K, B12c) Breakdown of cellulose
2. Breakdown of detritus3. Prevention of pathogen colonization
![Page 37: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Production of Nutrients• Soil microbes take nitrogen from atmosphere
and make nitrogen containing compounds (nitrates, nitrites, etc)
• Some exist in symbiotic relationships (eg. Termites, legumes, clover, alder, etc)
![Page 38: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Some bacteria produce Vitamin K (E. coli) or B12, which are not produced anywhere else
![Page 39: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Cellulose (plant fibers) cannot be broken down by eukaryotes
• Many organisms exist in symbiotic relationships with bacteria in order to break down cellulose into usable sugars.
![Page 40: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Break down of detritus
• Bacteria clear landscape of dead matter
• Returns nutrients to the soil
![Page 41: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681697a550346895de17b97/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Prevention of colonization
• Take up valuable real estate that pathogenic organisms would love to inhabit
• Harmless or beneficial bacteria prevent harmful ones from colonizing
