Presentation Transcript

  1. Microbial Metabolism

  2. A. Basic Concepts • Definitions • Metabolism: The processes of catabolism and anabolism • Catabolism: The processes by which a living organism obtains its energy and raw materials from nutrients • Anabolism: The processes by which energy and raw materials are used to build macromolecules and cellular structures (biosynthesis)

  3. Overview of cell metabolism

  4. What are nutrients that bacteria want? C Sugar, Lipid Energy, Biosynthesis N Protein Biosynthesis O Air Energy

  5. Breakdown Proteins to Amino Acids, Starch to Glucose Synthesis Amino Acids to Proteins, Glucose to Starch

  6. Bacterial Metabolism ☺ Exoenzymes: Bacteria cannot transport large polymers into the cell. They must break them down into basic subunits for transport into the cell. Bacteria therefore elaborate extracellular enzymes for the degradation of carbohydrates to sugars (carbohydrases), proteins to amino acids (proteases), and lipids to fatty acids (Lipases).

  7. Energy Generating Patterns • After Sugars are made or obtained, they are the energy source of life. • Breakdown of sugar(catabolism) different ways: • Aerobic respiration • Anaerobic respiration • Fermentation

  8. Aerobic respiration • Most efficient way to extract energy from glucose. • Process: Glycolysis Kreb Cycle Electron transport chain • Glycolysis: Several glycolytic pathways • The most common one: glucose-----> pyruvic acid + 2 NADH + 2ATP

  9. B. Glycolytic Pathways • 4 major glycolytic pathways found in different bacteria: • Embden-Meyerhoff-Parnas pathway • “Classic” glycolysis • Found in almost all organisms • Hexose monophosphate pathway • Also found in most organisms • Responsible for synthesis of pentose sugars used in nucleotide synthesis • Entner-Doudoroff pathway • Found in Pseudomonas and related genera • Phosphoketolase pathway • Found in Bifidobacterium and Leuconostoc

  10. Formation of intermediates of the Embden– Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) and Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway from carbohydrates other than glucose

  11. BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS OF RESPIRATION

  12. Carbohydrate Metabolism 4. TCA cycle

  13. Anaerobic respiration • Final electron acceptor : never be O2 • Sulfate reducer: final electron acceptor is sodium sulfate (Na2 SO4) • Methane reducer: final electron acceptor is CO2 • Nitrate reducer : final electroon acceptor is sodium nitrate (NaNO3) O2/H2O coupling is the most oxidizing, more energy in aerobic respiration. Therefore, anaerobic is less energy efficient.

  14. C. Fermentation • Features of fermentation pathways • Pyruvic acid is reduced to form reduced organic acids or alcohols. • The final electron acceptor is a reduced derivative of pyruvic acid • NADH is oxidized to form NAD: Essential for continued operation of the glycolytic pathways. • O2 is not required. • No additional ATP are made. • Gasses (CO2 and/or H2) may be released

  15. Fermentation • Glycosis: Glucose ----->2 Pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH • Fermentation pathways a. Homolactic acid F. P.A -----> Lactic Acid eg. Streptococci, Lactobacilli b.Alcoholic F. P.A -----> Ethyl alcohol eg. yeast
