Bacteria Lecture!Might as well learn about em, because you dirty kids are covered in them!
What you have to be able to do • Describe the size of bacteria • Describe where we find bacteria • Describe a couple different types of bacteria • Compare a virus to a bacteria • Compare bacteria to eukaryota
Quick note • Most bacteria are not harmful to humans!
Bacteria = prokaryotes • Prokaryote Before nucleus! • Tiny! 1000x smaller than one of your cells • Abundant in air water soil, your notebook, Logan’s phone, Sam’s locker http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=JAqW4OTFB4M
Organization of a bacteria* • Most have cell wall surrounding membrane • Glycocalyx surrounds cell wall (it’s a polysaccharide • Capsule vs slime layer • Fimbrae
Binary Fission • Technically different than mitosis • Same result!
Conjugation • Bacteria link via a sex/ conjugation pilus • DNA passes through pilus
Transformation • Prokaryotes pick up DNA in the environment
Bacteria types • Gram positive – have peptidoglycan layer penicillin works against PG layer • Gram negative - no peptidoglycan layer
Bacteria Types • Spirilum • Bacilli • Coccus
Biochem • Some live only without oxygen obligate anaerobes • Tetanus botulism, • Facultative anaerobes
Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Some make their food • Some do not
