CHAPTERS 4, 5, 6 Flashcards
NEURAMIDASE
SPIKE PROTEIN THAT REMOVES ENVELOPE FROM VIRION ALLOWING TO MERGE W THE HOST’S CELL MEMBRANE, DEPOSITING NUCLEIC ACID + PROTEIN INSIDE HOST CELL
ARCHAEA
- PROKARYOTE
- UNICELLULAR
- METABOLISM IS SIMILAR TO BACTERIA’S
- PROTEINS USED FOR TRANSCRIPTION + TRANSLATION SIMILAR TO EUKARYOTE’S
-METHANOGENS - EXTREMOPHILES
-PSEUDOMUREIN
ARCHAEAL MEMBRANES
-GLYCEROL MOLECULE
- ISOPRENE UNITS
- ETHER LINKAGE

EUAKRYOTES
FUNGI + PROTISTS
- SIMPLER CELL WALL
- HAVE FLAGELLA
- CILIA
FUNGI
- CAN BE PATHOGENIC TO THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED
- DECOMPOSERS
- SIMPLE CELL WALL - CHITIN
- SPORES ARE FOR REPLICATION
- INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE
- LOOK LKE COLONIES
YEAST - UNICELLULAR (SINGLE CELLED)
+
MOLD - MULTICELLULAR
6 MAJOR FUNGAL GROUPS
1) CHYTRIDIOMYCOTA
2) ZYGOMYCOTA
3) GLOMEROMYCOTA
4) ASCOMYCOTA
5) BASIDIOMYCOTA
6) MICROSPORIDIA - NO SPORES
MYCORRZHIAE
- FUNGI
- SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP = HELPS GRASS GROW
HOW DO FUNGI DECOMPOSE THINGS
1- RELEASE ENZYMES
2 - BREAK IT DOWN
3 - ABSORP NUTRIENTS
INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE (5)
- FERMENTATION
- ORGANIC ACIDS
- CERTAIN DRUGS
- ANTIBIOTICS
- IMMUNOSUPRESSIVE AGENTSM- CYCLOSPORIN
CHITIN - FUNGI
WEAK CELL WALL
MOLD - FUNGI
- HYPHAE
- TALLUS
-MULTICELLULAR
HYPHAE PRESENT IN?
FUNGI - MOLD
‘
SEPTATED - PORES AND ONE NUCLEUS PER SEPARATION
ASEPTATED - ALL NUCLEI TOGETHER
FUNGAL PATHOGENS
1- RHIZOPUS STOLONIFER - BLACK BREAD MOLD
2- RHIZOPUS BURKHOLDERIA SYMBIOSIS - RICE BACTERIUM
3- ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS - ALLERGIES + PATHOGEN
MYCOSES
FUNGAL INFECTION
EX: TINEA
- 5 TYPES
5 TYPES OF MYCOSES
1- SUPERFICIAL
2-CUTANEOUS
3- SUBCUTANEOUS
4- SYSTEMIC ( HIGHEST MORTALITY RATE)
5 - OPPORTUNISTIC
CANDIDA ALBICANS
OPPORTUNISTIC FUNGIM- YEAST INFECTION
dimorphic fungi (2)
room temp: mold
body temp: yeast
Cryptococcosis Neoformans
- yeast - from birds droppings
- systemic mycosis
- can cause meningitis + pneumonia
- grows in bird seed agar
Nosocomial infections
- get in in hospital setting
- 10% are in the bloodstream
- 50% of mortality rate
- most infections involve skin + mucous membrane
C. auris, albicans, glabrata
Amebiasis (Amoebic Dysentery)
- caused by Entamoeba histolytica - part of microbiome
- spreads through a cyst
