  1. Cranium degeneratium Phillip Ellers Kirsten Bone Tyresa Johnson Brittany Gale

  2. Shape and Wall • Rod shaped – called Bacilli • Gram Negative • Cell Wall: • Lipopolysaccharides as outer membrane • Joined by lipoprotein molecules • Lipid A anchors the lipopolysaccharide layer to the lipidbilayer • Teichoicacids are absent

  3. Specialized • It is O-specific, which is opposite of lipid A • Has Porin Proteins allowing molecule transport through the outer membrane • Not sensitive to lysosomes

  4. Growth, oh my! • Above rapid growth • Doubling time is 18minutes • Dormant in room temperature • Between 20 and 25 degrees C • (about 70 degrees F) • Mesophile • between 20 and 45 degrees C

  5. and Oxygen • Oxygen is a must! • pH Range • Neutral zone • Between 5 and 8

  6. Living Environment • Found in most aquatic areas that are around normal temperature range • Requires water to thrive • Both saltwater and freshwater

  7. Metabolism • Fermentation – NO • Feeds off the fat cells in the body which lowers the immune system resulting in a greater affect from the Sodium Cyanide produced in the body. • Byproduct • Sodium Cyanide • Produced by bacteria in presence of sodium • In the natural habitat, the bacteria goes through photosynthesis until it enters the body.

  8. Gene Regulatory Pathway • Regulated Gene: A1 • Controls the enzyme that produces Cyanide. • It is regulated under optimal conditions. • Optimal conditions are inside the host. • It is also a repressor. • Proteins Involved • All that are within the human body.

  9. Taxonomy • A new hybrid bacteria never recorded in nature • Characteristics span wide variety of different bacterial species • Metabolic Pathways and Electron Transport Chain • Too complex and yet to be discovered • There are different characteristics within that come from completely unrelated bacterial species. • Ex: Possess the characteristics of both photosynthesis and bacterial predatory metabolism.

  10. Exposure • Through any source of water • Freshwater and Saltwater • An individual comes in contact through • Ears • Nose • Eyes • Mouth • Exposure leads the bacteria to the brain and spinal cord where it will attach itself and attack the body. • Attaches to mucous membranes and oxygen flowing through the body

  11. Harmful • Being a harmful bacteria, it causes a disease called “Invisible Plague” • Literally eats the brain of the body infected • Transmitted through water • Through the mucous membranes and oxygen in one person • Person to person is transmitted through open wounds and other body fluid such as blood. • Virulence Factor • Very thick cell membrane that can withstand the immune system

  12. Invisible Plague • Side effects: • Massive migraines • Extreme fatigue • Dehydration • Vision sensitivity • Weight loss • Memory loss • Paralysis • Loss of motor functions • Bleeding through mucous membranes • … Death …
