I. PROKARYOTESA. Basic Characteristics
1. Single celled2. No membrane-bound organelles3. Nucleoid region 4. Microscopic

B. HOW DO WE IDENTIFY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROKARYOTES?1. Identified by the following:
a. Shapesb. Chemical nature of their cell wallsc. The ways they moved. The ways they obtain energy

C. BASIC STRUCTURE1. Cell wall – protects the
cell & gives it shape.2. Outer membrane –
protects the cell against some antibiotics (only present in some)

C. BASIC STRUCTURE (CONT.)
3. Cell membrane – regulates movement of materials into & out of the cell; contains enzymes important to cellular respiration.
4. Plasmid – circular piece of DNA that contains some genes obtained through genetic recombination.
5. Capsule & Slime layer – protect the cell & assist in attaching the cell to other surfaces.

• Cell Arrangements– Diplo – cells are paired
– Staphylo – cells are in
grape-like clusters
– Strepto – cells are in long chains

II. SHAPES & GROUPINGS OF BACTERIAA. Three basic shapes of bacteria
1. Bacillus = rod shape2. Coccus = round or
spherical shape3. Spirilla = spiral shape
![Page 9: Bacteria Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e79550346895dccfb77/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
B. CELL GROUPINGS1. Diplo – cells are paired2. Staphylo – cells are in
grape-like clusters3. Strepto – cells are in long
chains

III. CELL WALL TYPESA. Two different types of cell walls are
found in eubacteria1. Bacteria cells containing peptidoglycan 2. Bacteria with an outer layer of lipid and
carbohydrate moleculesB. Gram staining helps to tell them apart
using two different types of dye1. Violet - primary stain2. Red - counterstain

IV. GROWTH & REPRODUCTIONA. Binary Fission: bacterium
doubles in size, it replicates its DNA and divides in half
1. Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent
Is this sexual or asexual reproduction?Asexual
![Page 12: Bacteria Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e79550346895dccfb77/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IV. GROWTH & REPRODUCTION (CONT.)B. Types of Genetic Recombination
1. Conjugation: process by which two living bacteria bind together and one bacterium transfers genetic information to the other
2. Transformation: occurs when bacterium binds to and then takes up DNA released by dead bacteria
3. Transduction: viruses carry portions of DNA from one bacterium to another

IV. GROWTH & REPRODUCTION (CONT.)C. Endospore: thick-walled, dehydrated
structures inside bacterium1. Protects the cell against harsh
environmental conditions, such as heat and drought
2. May allow the bacterium to survive for thousands of years
3. Not for reproduction, but for survival

V. EXAMPLES OF BACTERIAA. Bacillus cereus
1. Found in soil2. Straight rods3. Arranged singly or in pairs4. Cause of a lot of food borne illnesses
![Page 15: Bacteria Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e79550346895dccfb77/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
V. EXAMPLES (CONT.)B. Aquaspirillum serpens
1. Found in fresh water2. Spiral shaped3. Arranged singly
![Page 16: Bacteria Discussion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e79550346895dccfb77/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
V. EXAMPLES (CONT.)C. Escherichia coli (E. Coli)
1. Straight rods2. Arranged singly or in pairs3. Named after pediatrician who discovered
it4. Digest food in your intestines (benefit to
us)5. Some strains are very harmful and can
lead to food borne illnesses

V. EXAMPLES (CONT.)D. Staphylococcus epidermidis
1. Epidermis = skin2. Spherical shape3. In clusters4. Usually not pathogenic
E. Staphylococcus aureus1. Spherical shape2. In clusters3. Most common type of staph
infections in humans4. MRSA: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus
a. Highly resistant to antibiotics
