Phylogeny
Evolutionary tree
Branch Nodes(fork) Tip(terminal node) Sister taxa Root and out group

N/ancestral species splits into 2 or more descendent species
(Polytomy if >2 formed at node)
T/species : extant or extinct
S/taxa occupying adjacent tips
R/ lower down more ancient
Out group
Species or group known to have split off before the rest of the taxa under consideration
Mono phyletic group
ONE ancestor and ALL of its descendants
Paraphyletic group
Ancestral species and NOT ALL descendant species
Protista, algae, Protozoa

Linnean thinking
Based mostly on morphology
Phylogenetic thinking
Based on molecular data
10% of organism dry weight
Bacteria
Nitrogen fixation
Bacteria and archaea
Recycle nitrogen into living systems through nitrogen fixation
NO eukaryote can do this
Cyanobacteria
Responsible for seminal global climate change
Chloroplast Evolution
Perform oxygen photosynthesis
Current level 21%
Allowed evolution aerobic respiration
Produce more ATP
Bigger things

Bacteria
Structurally simple
Metabolically complex
No nucleus DNA forms supercooled circular chromosome NOT enclosed by membrane Independently replicating No mitochondria No chloroplasts
Plasmids
Small, supercooled, circular, independently replicating extra chromosomal DNA not required for normal growth and survival but can be transferred to other cells
**carry genes for antibiotic resistance
Cell components bacteria
Plasmids Ribosomes Storage granules Cell membrane Cell wall Slime layer/ capsule Fimbriae Flagellum Endoscope
Bacteria ribosomes
No membrane
Composed of 3 RNA molecules and many proteins
Function in protein manufacture
Cell membrane bacteria
In photosynthetic species
Thylakoids
Folded membrane containing chlorophyll
Gram stain
Test for amount of peptidoglycan
Distinguishes two types of cell walls in bacteria
Gram positive
Purple
Thick outer peptidoglycan layer/ no outer membrane
Gram negative
Pink
Thin layer of sandwiched peptidoglycan

Resistant stage
Can withstand extreme conditions and large spans of time
Bacteria reproduction
Exchange of DNA not reproduction
Asexual( no gametes)
DNA replication
One loop forms two
Split cells
Budding/ chromosome replicates and one copy moves to an outgrowth which breaks off
Exchange of DNA bacteria
Transformation
DNA fragment released by one bacterium taken up by another
Transduction
Transfer of DNA between bacteria due to virus infection
Conjugation
Fimbriae attach and conjugation tube forms(cytoplasmic bridge)between bacteria of two mating types.
Single strand of plasmid DNA is transferred and replicated
Both have double stranded plasmid
