  1. Types of Heterotrophic Nutrition

  2. Methods of Feeding • Saprophytic Nutrition • feed on dead organic matter, get energy from it, and recycle it back into the environment. • decomposers. • Parasitism • organism (parasite) feeds off of another (host) at the expense of the host. • Predation • - organism (predator) hunts, kills, and eats another organism (prey).  • Scavenging • feed on organisms killed by something else.

  3. Bacteria Kingdoms Archaebacteria & Eubacteria (Formerly Monera)

  4. What are Bacteria? • Bacteria are PROKARYOTES • The smallest known living cells They are found everywhere!! Bacteria on head of a pin Starr, 317 Did you know? There are over 80 species of bacteria in your mouth! Bacteria in dental plaque microbeworld.org

  5. Obtaining Energy • Autotrophs (make energy) • Photoautotrophs- capture energy from light • Ex- cyabobacteria • Chemiautotrophs- obtain energy from chemical reactions with inorganic molecules (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, sulfur, Iron) • Ex. Ocean vent bacteria

  6. Cyanobacteria bloom

  7. Obtaining Energy cont… • Heterotrophs- most bacteria obtain their energy from organic molecules • These bacteria are often feeding in, on and around us… • Some bacteria are photoheterotrophs • Capture sunlight and digest organic molecules

  8. Releasing Energy • Bacteria can use both cell respiration and fermentation • Many bacteria have different oxygen requirements: • Obligate aerobes- must have oxygen for respiration • Facultative anaerobes- can function with or without oxygen • Obligate anaerobes- poisoned by oxygen (use fermentation)

  9. Three basic shapes of Bacteria • Spherical – coccus • Rod – bacillus • Coiled - spirillum Schraer, 633

  10. Shapes of Bacteria

  11. Coccus Spheres Cocci (plural) a variety of arrangements

  12. Bacillus Cylindrical or rod-shape Bacilli (plural) Variations in cell arrangement Diplobacillus (paired)

  13. Spirals Vibrio Spirillum Spirochete

  14. Staphylo = clusters Strepto = chains Simple Colonies Staphylococcus wisc.edu Diplo = double Diplococcus cat.cc.md.us Streptobacillus

  15. Many can MOVE Some have flagella- made of rope-like proteins, not microtubules. Some slide on a slimy secretion. Many can form dormant cells called endospores to survive harsh conditions. Salmonella www.iwate.jp Streptomyces spores

  16. Bacterial Reproduction • Bacterial cells reproduce asexually through fission which is the splitting of a cell into two new cells.

  17. Bacterial Reproduction cont… • Some bacteria utilize conjugation to exchange pieces of genetic information to increase variation • *Not considered sexual reproduction- not complete exchange of DNA, no offspring made
