Opening Activity: What is one way bacteria influences our life?
Food poisoning Bacterial Infection Acne Cavities Body Odor Antibiotics Break down food in our digestive system
Basic Bacteria Facts: • Microscopic/unicellular • Prokaryotic • Most numerous and ancient organisms on Earth.
Classification of Bacteria: Kingdom Archaebacteria: • More ancient than eubacteria • Peptidoglycan absent in cell walls • First discovered in extreme environments
Methanogens live only in anaerobic conditions like swamps and sewage. Halophiles salt-loving Thermoacidophiles live in acidic and high temp. environments like hot springs and volcanic vents. Major Bacteria Phyla: Archaebacteria
Classifications of Bacteria: Kingdom Eubacteria: • Germs; account for most bacteria • Can be divided into 12 phyla • Cell walls contain peptidoglycan Shapes of Eubacteria: 1. bacilli rod-shaped 2. cocci sphere-shaped *streptococcichain *staphylococcigrape-like clusters 3. Spirilla spiral-shaped
Eubacteria shapes cont. streptococcichain staphylococcigrape-like clusters
Cyanobacteria (ex. blue-green algae) Spirochetes (ex. T. pallidum; causes syphilis) Gram-positive bacteria (ex. Bacteria that cause strep; change milk to yogurt; produce antibiotics) Proteobacteria (ex. E. coli; nitrogen-fixing bacteria) Major Bacteria Phyla: Eubacteria
Gram Stain: • Laboratory technique used to group Eubacteria into two categories. • Gram-positive eubacteria appear purple because of thicker layer of peptidoglycan. • Gram-negative eubacteria appear pink because of thinner layer of peptidoglycan.
Is this gram stain positive or negative? Identify the bacteria.
Is this gram stain positive or negative? Identify the bacteria.
Bacteria and Disease: • Pathology: scientific study of disease • Pathogens: bacteria that cause disease
Famous Bacteria Diseases Lyme Disease Tetanus
Famous Bacteria Diseases Botulism Tooth Decay
Famous Bacteria Diseases Gonorhea Tuberculosis
Famous Bacteria Diseases Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Cholera
D. Ways Bacteria Cause Disease: • Produce exotoxins (toxins made of protein and produced by Gram-positive bacteria). • Produce endotoxins (toxins made of carbohydrates and lipids and produced by Gram-negative bacteria; released when bacteria die). • Destroy body tissues by secreting digestive enzymes.
Opening Activity: • What is the name for spiral shaped bacteria? • Cocci • Bacilli • Sprilla • Sphere shaped bacteria
Antibiotics: • Drugs that combat bacteria by interfering with cellular functions. • Because humans overuse antibiotics, bacteria have built a resistance to those antibiotics. This is done through bacteria reproduction AND genetic recombination.
Useful Bacteria: • Bacteria are used in… • Sewage treatment • Producing and processing foods • Industrial chemical production
Opening Activity Toxins that are produced by gram negative bacteria and are released when the bacteria die are known as… A. Exotoxins B. Endotoxins
Reproduction in Bacteria: • Use ASEXUAL reproduction by binary fission. • NO true sexual reproduction in bacteria • Use a nonreproductive method called genetic recombination to mix genetic material, obtain NEW DNA, and make newer/adapted offspring.
