what is kochs 1st postulate
- the microbe must be present in individuals suffering from the disease and absent in healthy individuals
kochs second postulate

introduce of live friendly bacteria into a patients digestive tract. ex. fecal flora
the ecological importance of probiotics
co exist with other organisms. amphibian species have natural bacteria that fight off fungal infections.
2 strategies of bioremediation
- fertilizing contaminated sites to encourage the growth of existing bacteria and archaea that degrade toxic compounds.
- seeding, adding specific species of bacteria to contaminated sites

what are the 5 archaean kingdoms
crenarcheota, euryarchaeota, thaurmarchaeota, korarchaeota, nanoarchaeota
crenarchaeota characteristics
often thermophillic and acidophillic, yellowstone hot springs
euryarchaeota characteristics
some are methanogens, often halophillic(salt) , thermophillic, deep ocean vents
thaumarchaeota charac.
abundant in the oceans, mesophillic
kararchaeota charac
some found in hot springs
nanoarchaeota charac
parasite of another archaea
proteobacteria
purple bacteria, diverse metabolically, mitochondria of eukaryotes derived from species of proteobacteria.
cyanobacteria charac.
photosynthetic, single cells or colonies, blue-green bacteria-formerly alagae
firmicutes
low GC gram positive, most are coccus and bacillus shaped, some members are common in human gut, some used to ferment dairy products
actinobacteria
HIGH GC gram positive, share similar structures to fungus(mycelia), streptomyces genus is a huge source of antibiotics used in medicine today.
spirochaetes
distinguished by their corkscrew shape and flagella
both syphillis and lyme disease are caused by spirochaete bacteria
chlamydiae
coccus shaped, all are parasitic
why are protists important
bottom of food chain- nutritional foundation for life
meicine- due to parasitic infection
all eukaryotes are___ except for fungi, animals, and land plants
protists - paraphyletic
2 common charc for protists (size and abundant where)
most abundant in moist habitats, most of them microscopic in size
phagotrophy
heterotrophs that ingest particles
osmotrophs
heterotrophs that rely on uptake of small organic molecules
autotrophs
photosynthetic
mixotrophs
able to use autotrophy and phagotrophy or osmotrophy depending on conditions
ciliates
cilia- shorter and more abundant than flagella
amoebae
amoeboid movement, use pseudopodia
algae, protozoa, and fungus like names
- plant-like, photosynthetic and non
- animal like- heterotrophic
- resemble fungi in body form and absorptive nutrition.
plankton and the 2 types and how they gain energy
swimming or floating
phytoplankton- photosynthetic
zooplankton-heterotrophic
periphyton
attached by mucilage to underwater surfaces, produce multicellular bodies-seaweed
asexual reproduction and do protists use this
all protists can reproduce asexually- same dna as parent
sexual reproduction
2N organisms
2 of each chromosome
half genes from mom and other half from dad
human gametes are
haploid but 1 from each parent makes it diploid
meiosis and mitosis of ploidity
meiosis- production of 1N from 2N
mitosis- 2N to 2N, or 1N to 1N
all cells except the __ are diploid
gametes
asexual reproduction __ the size of daughter cells
reduces
sexual reproduction ___ maximal size
restores
zygotic life cycles
most unicellular sexually reproducing protists, survive like cysts - thick walled diploid zygotes
in zygotic life cycles, haploid cells __ into ___
transform, gametes
sporic life cycle, alteration of generations
2 types of multicellular organisms.
haploid gametophyte produces gametes
diploid sporophyte produces spores by meiosis
sexualproduces gamete then alternates to asexual reproduction-sporophytes
super groups
excavata, related to earliest eukaryotes, phagotrophy
