Presentation Transcript

  1. Bacteria

  2. Characteristics • Prokaryotes • Microscopic (Eukaryotic cells are at least 10x bigger) • Unicellular • DNA is a single circular piece of DNA • Asexual Reproduction • Binary Fission • Metabolism • Aerobic • Anaerobic

  3. Genetic Exchange • Conjugation –transfer DNA through contact • Transformation – acquire DNA from dead bacteria • Transduction – DNA is transferred from one bacteria to another using a virus (genetic engineering)

  5. Survival of the Fittest!!! Bacteria have been around for 3.5 billion years!! How???? • Cell Walls • Capsules (surrounds cell wall) • Asexual Reproduction, but can still acquire other genes • Inhabit every place on Earth

  6. Super fast reproduction

  7. allow them to withstand drought, high temps., lack of food, etc. endospores

  8. Shapes • Coccus : Spheres • Bacillus : Rods • Spirillum : Spirals • Arrangements • Strept : Chains • Staph : Clusters • Diplo : Pairs Bacteria are Classified according to Shape and arrangement of cells

  9. Gram Stain (pg. 529) • Gram +  simple walls, large amount of peptidoglycan • Gram -  less peptidoglycan, outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharides which are often toxic and provides additional protection  more resistant to antibiotics • Many antibiotics (penicillens) inhibit synthesis of cross links in peptidoglycan and prevent formation of a functional wall Gram negative Gram positive

  10. Gram Positive Organisms • Aerobic, Gram-positive cocci • Staphylococcus aureus (fig 1, 2, 3, 4) • Staphylococcus epidermidis (fig 1) • Staphylococcus sp.
