  1. WELCOME TO MICROBIOLOGY EBIO 3400 Dr. Steven Schmidt - Professor Dr. Bob Hermanson - Laboratory Coordinator

  2. Texts Lecture: Nester, E.W. et al. 2004. Microbiology, A Human Perspective. 4th ed. McGraw-Hill. Lab: Basey, J.M. & S. Perkins. 2004. Microbiology Lab. The Robin Works.

  3. Class Outlines etc: Go to: http://www.colorado.edu/eeb/EEBprojects/schmidtlab/studentres/EBIO3400/index.htm Or http://www.colorado.edu/eeb/EEBprojects/schmidtlab/ And follow the links Or the EE Biology site and follow the links….. I’ll post outlined notes, usually the night before class…

  4. WHAT IS MICROBIOLOGY? The study of small organisms. Viruses, Viroids & Prions (not really “organisms”) Prokaryotes: Bacteria & Archaea EukaryoticMicrobes: Algae Fungi “Protozoa”

  5. LIFE IS DIVIDED INTO 3 DOMAINS

  6. Table 1.2

  7. Table 1.3

  8. How small is small? MICRON or MICROMETER - 1 millionth of a meter (10-6 meters) - symbol is µ NANOMETER - 1 billionth of a meter (10-9 meters) Bacteria are usually several micrometers in diameter. Fungi are about 10+ micrometers in diameter

  10. THE HISTORY OF MICROBIOLOGY We will look at natural history and human history

  11. MICROBES ARE EVERYWHERE! • earliest life - 3.8 billion years old • represent more than half of the biomass (animals <15%) • almost every natural surface • important symbionts • vital to the ecosystem

  12. BACTERIAL SYMBIONTS

  13. MICROORGANISMS ARE VITAL TO NUTRIENT CYCLING

  14. MICROBIAL GENETICS

  15. MICROBIAL GENOMICS

  16. FOOD MICROBIOLOGY Bread Cheese Yogurt Sauerkraut Wine Beer

  17. BACTERIAL PATHOGENS

  18. OTHER BACTERIAL PATHOGENS Y. pestis N. meningitis B. burgdorferi

  19. VIRAL PATHOGENS HIV Ebola Smallpox

  20. EUKARYOTIC PATHOGENS Giardia Plasmodium Entamoeba

  21. Fig. 1.3. Emerging infectious diseases
