BACTERIA vs VIRUS Biology Chapter 24
This is a pore in human skin and the yellow spheres are bacteria
Evolution/Classification • Most numerous on Earth • Most Ancient • Microscopic Prokaryotes • Evolution has yielded many species adapted to survive where no other organisms can. • Grouped based on: • Structure, physiology, molec. Compositionreaction to specific types of stain. • Eubacteria= Germs/bacteria • Archaebacteria
Chemosynthetic bacteria use the sulfur in the “smoke” for energy to make ATP.
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
Nutrition and Growth • Heterotrophic or Autotrophic • Some are Photoautotrophs – Use sunlight for Energy • Some are Chemoautotrophs. • Many are Obligate Anaerobes. • Oxygen = Death • Ex. Clostridium tetani – Tetanus • Some are Faculatative Anaerobes • With or without Oxygen • Ex. Escherichia Coli • Some are Obligate Aerobes • Ex.) Mycobacterium tuberculosis • Temperature requirements • Some are Thermophilic, Some prefer acidic envmt.
Some bacteria cause diseases --Disease causing bacteria are call 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.
Some Final Information • Because antibiotics have been overused, many diseases that were once easy to treat are becoming more difficult to treat. • Some Bacteria are Useful • Ex.) Producing and Processing food • Breaking down dead organic material • Make unripened cheese like ricotta and cottage by breaking down the protein in milk.
VIRUSES Non-living but depends on the living!
STRUCTURE • Nonliving • Composed of Nucleic acid and protein • Cause many diseases • Virology – Study of Viruses • Comparison of Viruses and Cells below
Here is a non-enveloped bacteria virus inserting it’s DNA into a bacterial cell.
Characteristics of Viruses • 2 essential features • 1. Nucleic Acid • May be DNA or RNA • Helical, closed loop, or long strand • 2. Protein Coat – called CAPSID • Some have ENVELOPE • Ex. Influenza, chickepox, herpes simplex, HIV • VIRAL SHAPE • Icosahedron – 20 triangular faces • Ex.) herpes, chickenpox, polio • Helix – Coiled spring • EX.)Rabies, measles, tobacco mosaic
All viruses have two main parts: • DNA or RNA – genetic info • Capsid – a protein encasement
Grouping Viruses • Grouped according to: • Presence of Capsid and envelope – shape • RNA or DNA, single or double stranded – struct.
Grouping Viruses • Viroids- The smallest known particle that can replicate. • Disrupt plant cell metabolism • Can destroy entire crops • Prions – Abnormal forms of proteins that clump together inside cells. • Clumping eventually kills the cell • Examples • Scrapie – in sheep • Mad Cow Disease

Viruses and Human Disease • Control and Prevention of spread. • Vaccination & Antiviral drugs • Ex.) chickenpox vaccine, AZT, Acyclovir, protease inhibitors. • Emerging Viruses – exist in isolated habitats • Do not usually infect humans unless environmental conditions favor contact. • Several viruses are now linked to cancers such as leukemia, liver cancer, Burkitt’s lymphoma, cervical cancer.

After polio infections, the killer T-cell have destroyed the motor neurons that are producing the virus. The result is a loss of muscle control including the diaphragm. The iron lung changes the pressure to pump air in and out of the lungs.
