BACTERIA Kingdom Monera Eubacteria (peptidoglycan) Archaebacteria Methanogens Thermophiles Swamps, Intestines Halophiles Hydrothermal Vents Autotrophs or Heterotrophs Salt Lake, Utah CHARACTERISTICS Prokaryotes Microscopic Unicellular DNA is a single circular piece of DNA Asexual Reproduction Binary Fission Metabolism (Eukaryotic cells are at least 10x bigger) Aerobic Anaerobic 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) http://highered.mcgrawhill.com/sites/0072556781/student_view0/chapter13/animatio n_quiz_2.html HTTP://HIGHERED.MCGRAWHILL.COM/SITES/0072556781/STUDENT_VIE W0/CHAPTER13/ANIMATION_QUIZ_3.HTML 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 SUPER FAST REPRODUCTION ENDOSPORES allow them to withstand drought, high temps., lack of food, etc. BACTERIA ARE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO SHAPE AND ARRANGEMENT OF CELLS Shapes Coccus : Spheres Bacillus : Rods Spirillum : Spirals Arrangements Strept : Chains Staph : Clusters Diplo : Pairs GRAM STAIN (PG. 529) Gram negative Gram positive 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 Positive Organisms Aerobic, Gram-positive cocci Staphylococcus aureus (fig 1, 2, 3, 4) Staphylococcus epidermidis (fig 1) Staphylococcus sp.
