Module 2 Flashcards
Diversity
prokaryotes can be divided into the groups
bacteria and archaea
bacterial species are classified based on
nucleotide sequence
not morphological features
bacteria class divisions
gram positive (sub class acid fast)
gram negative
gram positive sub divisions
low GC concentration
HIgh GC concentration
gram negative subdivisions
proteobacteria and CFB and spirocites
alphaproteobacteria (3)
oligotrophs
fix nitrogen
ex)obligate intracellular pathogens such as chlamydia and rickettsiae
chlamydia life cycle
infectious elementary bodies invade epithelial cells
become reticulate bodies which are metabolically active and replicate within cell
inclusion created more elementary bodies
kill cell to be released
betaproteobacteria (2)
eutrophs
ex) common human pathogens such as neisseria (meningitis) or bordetella pertussis(whopping cough)
Gammaproteobacteria (2)
large and diverse group
aerobic and facultative aerobes
enterobacteria (2)
coliform: ferment lactose making acid and gas (E.coli)
non coliform:do not or incompletely ferment lactose (salmonella)
3 groups of deltaproteobacteria
sulfate reducing
bdellovibro
myxobacteria
sulfate reducing bacteria (1)
anaerobic respiration
Bdelllovibro (2)
vampire or predatory bacteria
eat others
myxobacteria (3)
slime bacteria
motile and highly social
multicellular fruiting bodies producing myxospores (metabolically inactive round cells with thick cell walls to survive harsh conditions)
epsilonproteobacteria (3)
microaerophilic
smallest group
ex)campylobacteria, helicobacteria
spirochetes (6)
long thin spirals
difficult to stain
darfield fluorescence
unculturable
motility achieved using axial filament
ex)borrelia and treponema
groups that are phylogenically diverse, rod shaped, anaerobic fermenters (3)
cytophaga
fusobacterium
bacteriodes
planctomycete (3)
aquatic environment
reproduce through budding
made of swarmer and sessile cells
phototrophic bacteria (2)
photosynthesis therefore are oxygen producing bacteria
ex)cyanobacteria
actinobacteria (5)
gram positive with high GC concentration
diverse
mostly found in soil
mostly aerobic
ex)mycobacterium, bifidobacterium
Firmicutes (2)
gram positive low GC concentration
also called bacillota
clostridia (2)
obligate anaerobes
endospores
lactobacillales (2)
lactic acid bacteria
ex) leuconostoc, listeria, enterococcus, streprococcus
bacilli (2)
aerobic or facultative anaerobes
endospore formers
mycoplasma (3)
no cell wall or peptidoglycan
not gram stainable
small and pleomorphic
Deep branching bacteria (1)
evolved from ancient lifeforms and are now extinct
Aquifae (1)
adapted from harshest of conditions
thermotogae (2)
anaerobic
stain gram negative due to shealth like outer membrane
deinococcus radiodurans
polyextremophiles
eukaryotes are divided into 6 groups
excavata
amoeboza
opisthokonta
rhizaria
chromalveolata
archaeplastida
amoebozoa (4)
supergroup
specific movement dictated by pseupodia and actin microfilaments
include the group eumycetozoa(slime moulds)
chromalveolata (2)
are united by plastid origins
include the groups apicomplexans, ciliates, and oomycetes
apicomplexan (2)
organelle concentration at apical end
complex life cycles
ciliates (ciliaphora) (3)
diverse group
cilia on surface for locomotion and feeding
paramecium
oomycetes (water moulds) (3)
different from fungi
diploid
cellulose cell wall
Excavata (4)
primitive eukaryotes
complex cell shapes and structures
depression on cell surface
parasites with limited mobility
groups are fornicata, parabasalia, and eulenozoa
fornicata (3)
lack mitochondria
have flagella
ex)giardia lamblia
parabasalia (6)
animal endosymbionts (dependent on host)
basal bodies (bearing)
modified mitochondria
undulating membrane
multiple flagella
ex)trichomonas vaginalis
euglenozoa (5)
photosynthetic and non photosynthetic species
2 flagella
pellicle (support and cell shape)
stigma (eyespot)
chloroplasts
fungi (3)
heterotrophic not photosynthetic
saprophytic (extracellular digestion of decaying organic matter
can be macroscopic or microscopic
moulds (2)
multicellular with filaments called hyphae
form tangled network
yeast (3)
unicellular
reproduce by budding
cells stick together in short chains
dimorphic fungi
grow as yeast at high temp and mould at low temp
unique features of fungi (3)
chitin cell wall
ergosterol cell membrane
unique and complex life cycles
Algae (2)
autotrophic protists
groups are chromalveolata and archaeplastida
dinoflagellates (4)
mostly marine organisms
2 flagella
cellulose plates
neurotoxins
Stramenopiles (2)
chysolaminarin as a storage carb
diatoms are the main group with flagella, frustules
archaeplastids
true algae
