1
Bacteria Features
Prokaryotic
No membrane bound organelles
no nucleus
single celled
2
Bacteria Morphology
Bacillus
Coccus
Vibrio
3
Bacillus
Rod shaped
E.coli
4
Coccus
Sphere shaped
5
Vibrio
Curved rod shape
6
Pleomorphism
variations in size and shape among same cells, usually in harsh conditions
7
Mycoplasmas
no cell wall
easy to treat
lack of research
8
Gram Positive
Thicker outter layer of peptidoglycan
teichoic acid
gram stain is purple
9
Gram Negative
thin layer of peptidoglycan, sandwhiched between outer membrane and plasma membrane
gram stain will be pink
10
Gram Stain
stains the constituents of the cell wall
11
Biofilm
any formation of bacteria coating a surface
Ex. paque, dog bowls, toilets
12
Steps to Biofilm
13
Glycocalyx
encompasses the slime layer, outside of the bacteria layers
what biofilm is built off of
protects the cell
sometimes called a capsule
14
Plasmid
Circular extra cellular chromosomal
carry infection site
antibiotic resistance site
15
Monotrichous
1 flagella
16
Amphitrichous
1 flagella on each hand
17
Lophotrichous
a tuff of flagella on one end
18
Petrichous
falgella all around the surface
19
Chemotaxis
movement in response to a chemical stimulus
20
Phototaxis
movement in response to light
21
Run
counterclockwise movement
Cells swim in a smooth linear direction
22
Tumble
flagellum reverses direction, causing cell to stop and change course
repellants cause numerous tumbles
23
Cilia
similar in structure to falgella, but smaller
more abundant
exclusive to movement
microtubules
24
Periplamic Flagella
axial filament
attached at periplasmic space
retracts like a slinky
25
Fimbriae
similar to cilia, but m roe vital to attatchment not movement
found in lower intestines
26
Pili
send across infectious agents or genetic material across cells
aids in reproduction
27
All bactera structures
cytoplasmic membrane, bacterial chromosome(nucleoiod), ribosomes, cytoplasm
28
Some Bacteria Features
S-layer, fimriae, outer membrane, cell wall, actin cytoskeleton, pilus, capsule, inclusion, plasmid, endospore, intracellular membrane
29
S-layer
single layers of thousands copies of a single protein linked together
aid in attatchment
only produce in extreme conditions
30
Endospores
produced when bacteria are in a fatal environment
made to perserve genetic material
withstand heat, drying, freezing, chemicals
31
What Bacteria Use Endospores
Bacillus
Clostridium
Clostridioides
Sporolactobaciillus
Sporosarcina
32
Endospore Steps
Vegetative cell depleted nutrients
chromosome is duplicated and separated
cell is sepatated into sporandium and forespore
sporangium engulfs forespore
sporangium actively synthesize endospore layers around forespore
cortex and outer coat layers deposited
mature endospore
free endospore is released with the loss of sporangium
germination: endospore swells and releases vegetatie cell
33
What Human Disease is Caused by Endospores
C. diff
anthrax
tetanus
gas gangrene
botulism
34
Bacteria
few circular chromosomes
70S
hook, rings, hallow filament flagella
peptidoglycan
fatty acids with ester linkages in cell membrane lipids
no sterols in membrane
35
Archaea
also few circular chromosomes 70S (but similar to 80S)
Soid fimbrial-like structure called archaellum
no peptidoglycan
long-chain branched hydrocarbons with ether linkages in CM lipids
no sterols in membrane
36
Eukaroykes
several linear chromosomes
80S
9 + 2 microtubule arrangment flagella
no peptidoglycan in cell wall
fatty acids with ester linkages in CM lipids
sterols in membrane
37
The Five Is
Inoculation
Incubation
Isolation
Inspection
Identification
38
Inoculation
Sample placed with meida
39
Incubation
incubator creates proper growth conditions to grow bacteria
40
Isolation
Once cultures are grown, they re re-inoculated to separate species
41
Inspection
colonies are observed macroscopically and microscopically
42
Identification
species level identification of isolated microbe using biochemical tests, immunologic tests, and genetic analysis
