Review: • Kingdom Eubacteria and Archaebacteria; Old Kingdom = Monera • Unicellular • Prokaryotic, no cellular membranes, no nucleus • Auto and Heterotrophic
Bacteria Identification: • Shape • Sphere-Shape (coccus) • Ex. Strep Throat (streptococcus), pneumonia (diplococcus), staph (staphylococcus)
Rod-Shaped (bacillus) Ex. Typhoid fever (caused by salmonella: Boil it, peel it, cook it, or FORGET IT! Transmitted by ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces of infected people. Typhoid Mary – 36 years quarantined!), Botulism (home canned foods or bad seal on canned foods.)
Spiral-Shaped (spirillum) • Ex. Syphilis Congenital syphilis (mom gives it to fetus in utero.)
More Bacteria Identification: • Cell Wall (chemical nature) – can see the wall by gram-staining! • Take-up Crystal Violet (purple) = Gram Positive • Take-up Safranine (red) = Gram Negative
ID Cont. • Bacterial Movement • Flagella – tail • Glide along slime (they make this themselves) • Some don’t move!
…and the last way to Identify bacteria • Oxygen Use • Require Oxygen – AEROBIC • NO Oxygen - ANAEROBIC
Growth and Reproduction • Bacteria reproduce in three different ways 1. Binary Fission – bacteria double in size, double DNA and divide in half (asexual reproduction)
Growth and Reproduction 2. Conjugation – a hollow bridge forms between two bacteria cells and they exchange genetic information (sexual reproduction)
Growth and Reproduction • 3. Spore formation – when conditions are bad, bacteria form endospores which lay dormant until conditions get better for growth.
