Chapter 19-24 vs Flashcards
This is just from the slides of Ma'am.
eucaryotes with unicellular organization, either in the form of solitary cells or colonies of cells lacking true tissues
e.g. paramecium
protista
unclassified organism; simple eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants nor animals or fungi
protista
caused by amoeba–a protozoa
Amoebiasis
caused by dinoflagellates–a protista
red tide
defined as a taxonomic classification used previously to describe unicellular (single-celled) prokaryotic microbes, which we now refer to as Bacteria and Archaea
Monera
a kingdom classification that is plant-like but are not photosynthetic
fungi
layered or stratified rocks, often domed, that are formed by incorporation of mineral sediments into microbial mats
stromatolites
used 18s ribosomal RNA to identify and classify eukaryotic organism based on molecular composition
Carl Woese
What are the colonies of microscopic photosynthesizing organisms that built the stony structures called stromatolites?
cyanobacteria
- Gram positive or gram negative
- Spherical, rod-shaped, spiral, lobed, plate-shaped, irregularly shaped, or pleomorphic
- Unicellular, filaments or aggregates
- Aerobic, facultatively anaerobic, or strictly anaerobic
- Chemolithoautotrophs to organotrophs
- Mesophiles; hyperthermophiles
- Reproduced by binary fission, budding, fragmentation
Archaebacteria
phylum (of archaea) that contains thermophilic and hyperthermophilic, acidophilic, sulfur-metabolizing proteins
Crenarchaeota
phylum (of archaea) that contains primarily methanogenic prokaryotes and halophilic prokaryotes; thermophilic, self-reducing organisms
Euryarchaeota
are strict anaerobes that obtain energy by converting CO2, H2, formate, methanol, acetate, and other compounds to either methane or methane and CO2
Methanogens
aerobic chemoheterotrophs, absolutely dependent on a high concentration of NaCl
halobacteria
thermoacidophiles that lack cell walls
thermoplasms
are strictly anaerobic, can reduce sulfur to sulfide, motile by flagella, optimum growth temperatures 88 to 100 °C
Thermococcales
- a phylum containing
autotrophic bacteria such as Aquifex and Hydrogenobacter - Use hydrogen for energy production
- Produces water by using hydrogen to reduce oxygen
Aquificae
This group contains some of the most thermophilic organisms known and is the deepest or earliest branch of the bacteria.
Aquificae
anaerobic, thermophilic, fermentative, gram-negative rod that have unusual fatty acids and resemble Aquifex with respect to their ether-linked lipids
Thermotogae
- Extraordinary radiation (3-5 mil rad) and dessication resistant, high concentrations of carotenoid pigments
- Aerobic, mesophilic, and catalase positive
Deinococcus-Thermus
What is the difference between Aquificae and Thermotogae in terms of their nutrition sources?
Aquificae - autotrophic
Thermotogae - chemoheterotroph
What photosynthetic bacteria undergoes anoxygenic photosynthesis?
purple bacteria
green bacteria
photosynthesis that employs hydrogen sulfide, sulfur, hydrogen, and organic matter as their electron source for the generation of NADH and NADPH
anoxygenic phototsynthesis
- Gram positive but has outer membrane, has L-ornithine in their peptidoglycan, lacking teichoic acid
- Plasma membrane with large amounts of palmitoleic acid rather than phosphatidylglycerol phospholipids
Deinococcus-Thermus
oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria
cyanobacteria
green nonsulfur bacteria
Phylum Chloroflexi
photosynthesis that use water as an electron donor and generate oxygen during photosynthesis
Oxygenic Photosynthesis
- Gram-negative bacteria, chemoorganotroph/chemoheterotroph
- Have unusual peptidoglycans and lack lipopolysaccharides in their outer membrane
- Elemental sulfur deposit outside the cell
Phylum Chloroflexi
