Chapter 11, part B The Prokaryotes:Domains Bacteria and Archaea
Cyanobacteria • Oxygenic photosynthesis • Gliding motility • Fix nitrogen
Cyanobacteria Figure 11.12a-c
Purple and Green Photosynthetic Bacteria • Anoxygenic photosynthesis • Purple and green sulfur bacteria light 2H2O + CO2 (CH2O) + H2O + O2 light 2H2S + CO2 (CH2O) + H2O + 2S0
Chlamydiae • C. trachomatis • Trachoma • STD, urethritis • C. pneumoniae • C. psittaci • Causes psittacosis

Spirochaetes • Borrelia • Leptospira • Treponema Figure 11.23
Bacteroidetes • Anaerobic • Bacteroides. In mouth and large intestine • Cytophaga. Cellulose-degrading in soil
Fusobacteria • Fusobacterium • Found in mouth • May be involved in dental diseases Figure 11.24
Firmicutes • Low G + C • Gram-positive
Clostridiales • Clostridium • Endospore-producing • Obligate anaerobes • Epulopiscium Figure 11.14 & 15
Bacillales • Bacillus • Endospore-producing rods Figure 11.16b
Bacillales • Staphylococcus • Cocci Figure 1.17
Lactobacillales • Generally aerotolerant anaerobes, lack an electron-transport chain • Lactobacillus • Streptococcus • Enterococcus • Listeria Figure 11.18
Mycoplasmatales • Wall-less, pleomorphic • 0.1 - 0.24 µm • M. pneumoniae Figure 11.19a, b
Actinobacteria • High G + C • Gram-positive
Actinobacteria • Actinomyces • Corynebacterium • Frankia • Gardnerella • Mycobacterium • Nocardia • Propionibacterium • Streptomyces Figure 11.20b
Domain Archaea • Hyperthermophiles • Pyrodictium • Sulfolobus • Methanogens • Methanobacterium • Extreme halophiles • Halobacterium Figure 11.25
Microbial Diversity • Bacteria size range • Thiomargarita (750 µm) to nanobacteria (0.02 µm) in rocks Figure 11.26
Microbial Diversity • PCR indicates up to 10,000 bacteria/gm of soil. Many bacteria have not been identified or characterized because they: • Haven't been cultured • Need special nutrients • Are part of complex food chains requiring the products of other bacteria • Need to be cultured to understand their metabolism and ecological role
