Evolution/Classification • Most numerous on Earth • Most Ancient • Microscopic Prokaryotes
Kingdom Eubacteria • Can have one of three basic shapes • Bacilli – rod-shaped • Spirilla – spiral-shaped • Cocci – sphere-shaped • Staphylococci – grape-like clusters Streptococci – in chains SHOW ME
Diplo-bacteria occur in pairs, such as the diplococcus bacteria that causes gonorrhea
Staphylo - bacteria occur in clumps, such as this staphylococcus bacteria that causes common infections of cuts
Strepto- bacteria occur in chains of bacteria, such as this streptococcus bacteria that causes some types of sore throats
The tip of a needle The red and yellow dots are bacteria
Nutrition and Growth • Heterotrophic or Autotrophic
These heterotrophic bacteria digest oil -- remember oil is partially decayed plant and animal cells
BACTERIA REPRODUCES BY FISSION First the chromosomal DNA makes a copy The DNA replicates
NEXT THE CYTOPLASM AND CELL DIVIDES The two resulting cells are exactly the same
Some bacteria cause diseases --Disease causing bacteria are called PATHOGENIC
Helicobacter pylori is the pathogenic bacteria that can causes ulcers
Leprosy is a bacterial infection that decreases blood flow to the extremities resulting in the deterioration of toes, ears, the nose and the fingers.
