Linnaean taxonomy
system for naming and animal classification
kingdoms in linn. taxonomy
animal
plants
minerals
hierarchy for classifications
- kingdom
- phylum
- class
- order
- fam
- genus
- species
linnaeus
-linnean taxonomy
-3 kingdoms = animal, plant, mineral
-created hierarchy naming system
haekal
added phylum
added monera, protista kingdoms

added fungi kingdom
superkingdom level (euk and prok)
woese
father of molec phylogeny
ribosomal rrna bet organisms
archaea = extremophile prokaryotoes
revolutionalized way we classify life
margulis
endosymbiant theory
1st event in endosymbiant theory
ancestral eukaryote consumes aerobic bacteria = mitochondria
=modern day heterotrophic eukaroyote
2nd event in endosymbiant theory
early euko consumes photosythetic bacteria
=choloroplasts
=modrn photosynthetic eukaryote
what can we use rRNA for?
organism identity and phylogeny
what are the 3 main branches in the ToL?
- bacteria
- archea
- eukarya
basically domains
what makes th ToL unique?
based on rRNA sequencing instead of morpho traits for classification
predecessor to mitochondria? chloroplasts?
proteobacteria and cyanobacteria
what kingdoms are microbal?
fungi, protista, bacteria and archaea
what are harmful bacteria called
pathogens
cells walls of bacteria contain
peptidoglycan (sugar and AA)
bacterial morphology
- coccus
- bacillus
- coccusbacillus
- vibrio
- spirrilium
- spriochete
archaea
extremophiles
pseudopeptidylcan cell wall
not human pathogens
are there archaeic human pathogens
nope
2 types of protisists
algae and protozoa
algea cell wall
cellulose
are
are algae photosynthetic
yes
protozoas move via?
cilia and flagella
ex
ex of protozoa
tapeworm
types of fungi
molds or yeasts
fungi cell wall
chitin = not photosynthetic
mold vs yeast
mold
=multi cell
=decomp
=pharmacy penicilin
long filaments
yeast
=uni
=gonadal infections
=oral flush
what causes oral flush and gonadal infcetions
yeast (fungi)
properties of virus
acellular
have RNA or DNA but never both
(protein and genetic material)
hijack host cell mechens
how do ABs work
some ribosomal function by taregting ceullar part of outer envelope
what is brightfield imaging
dark image on bright background
simple stain vs diffrential stain
simple = adds colour to cells present only and not surrounding tissues
differential = stains specific kind of cell but not other
example of diffrential and simple stain
diffrential = gram
simple = methylene blue
what traits do bacteria and archaea share
-70s ribosome
-asexual reproduction
-unicellular
-complex cell walls
-circular genome
-no membrane bound organells
how is morphology preserved in prok cells?
via cell wall
role of cell wall
protects against turgor pressure changes
isotonic vs hypertonic vs hypotonic solution
no net movement of h20
h20 exits cell = membrane shrinks away from cell wall
h20 move into cell = cell wall counteracts to stop swelling
how is DNA stored in prokaryotes
in nucleiod region
DNA = unbound, circular, haploid
Can also be found in plasmids = small, circular double stranded molecules
important thing to remember about PM in bacteria and archea?
bacteria = phospholipid bilayer (ester bond that links fatty acids to glyercol/phosphate)
archaea = tetraether monolayer (ether bonds that link branched phytanyl side chains to glycerol and/phosphate)
how is tetraether monolayer different?
rigid
structure
higher melting temp
less permeable
ether bonds
branched phytanyl side chain
which bacteria has bacteriorhodopsin
h salinarum = in its PM
bacteriorhodopsin
light activated proton pump
phototrophic
modes of ETC
lithotrophic = e donor is inorganic
phototrophic = light is energy source
heterotrophic = e donor is organic
all contribute to the PMF
what is PMF
proton motive force cretaed by ETC
H gradient across membrane = stored energy =work done inside cell
membrane transport mechanism types
simple diff
facilitated diff
active transport
how does the ETC create energy for the cell?
PMF (H gradient created)
H enter cell which drives ATP synthesis
types of active transport
coupled
atp binding casette transportters
group translocation
explain ATP synthesis
atp synthase uses e gradient to convert ADP and Pi to ATP
what does it mean that the PG is an isolated sacculus?
the PG is considered a single giant macromolecule that encases the entire bacterial cell
Basically when you remove all other cellular components from the cell wall, there is a purified layer of PG that helps maintain cell shape
Do all bacteria have a PM with phospholipid bilayers?
Not hyperthermophilic bacteria
who has phospholipid bilayer PM?
bacteria except hyperthermophilic
some archaea
all eukaryotes
what is the type 3 secretion system
found in gram neg bacteria
needle like complex that injects effector proteins into host cells
important for pathogenic bacteria to manipulate host cells
what is LPS
lipopolysaccaride
key part of the outer membrane of gram neg cell walls
components of LPS
lipid a
core polysacc
o side chain
role of LPS
endotoxin / virulence factor
= fevers, hemorraging anf septic shocks
permeability barrier to hydrophobic molecules
what part of LPS is a virulence factor
lipid A = endotoxin (which is a type of virulence factor)
kaufmann white scheme
serotyping method for classifying salmonella based on LPS and surface antigens
acid fast staining rxn
staining method for acid fast bacteria that cant be stained with normal technique
acid fast bacteria example
myobacterium
why cant myobacterium be stained normally
weird cell wall lipids
weird sugars
resistant to immune clearance
waxy layer of mycolic acids
Role of s and capsule layers
part of the cell wall of bacteria or archea
-virulence factors
-make biofilms bc allow cells to stick to their surface
-protect against dessication (removal of moisture)
what helps biofilm attachement happen?
pili
= short protein filaments that are involved in attachment of other cells
capsule layer and LPS on cell walls
fimbraie
fimbraie vs pilli?
fibraie
= short
=attach to cells
pilli
=long
=less numerous
=dna transfer
bacterial conjugation
type of horizontal gene transfer
transfer of genetic material from donor to recipient
done via sex pilli
what drives the flagellar motor
proton motive force
where is the flagellar motor anchored
betw nacterial and archeal PM
flagellar motor
embedded in PM and rotates the flagellar filament which is made up of flagellin proteins that have h-antigens embedded in it
describe how flagellum moves
switching between running (ccw) and tumbling (clockwise)
biased random walk
direction after tumbling is random but over net progression either towards attractant or away from repellent
quorum sensing
intracell communication meche
coordinate gene expression based on population density
lux paradigm system
example of quorum sensing
- luxI protein synthesizes AI (autoinducer)
- when quorum level reached, AI bind to LuxR (response regulator)
- AI - LuxR complex binds to Lux promoter region on DNA sequence = Transcription regulators activated
- gene for biolumincenece activated
how is quorum sensing different in gram positive bacteria.
instead of AI, they release quorum sensing peptides that bind to response regulators instead
agr quorum system
quorum system in staphylcocci species
used to regulate expression of virulence factors based on pop density
