What does “archae” mean?
Ancient
Where do archaebacteria live?
Harsh environments, recently found to be in milder environments also
Do archaebacteria have peptidoglycan?
NO
What are the three categories of archaebacteria?
Methanogens, Extreme Halophiles, Thermoacidophiles
Describe Methanogens
- convert H2 and CO2 to methane
- Live in anaerobic conditions
- They are found in bottoms of swamps, sewers, and intestinal tracts of humans (about 50%) and other animals such as cows.
Describe Extreme Halophiles
- Salt loving
- generate ATP from salt
- Found in Great Salt Lake and Dead Sea
Describe Thermoacidophiles
- Live in areas of extreme acid content and high temps
- Found in hot springs, volcanic vents, and cracks in the ocean floor
What are the 2 bacterial kingdoms?
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
What does “Eu” mean
True
What is eubacteria cell wall made of?
Peptidoglycan
What is peptidoglycan
A sugar/protein molecule
Where can eubacteria be found?
in, ON and around us
What are the 6 bacterial shapes?
- Rod shaped
- Spherical shaped
- Spiral shaped
- Dip
- Strep
- Staph
What is “rod shaped” called
Bacilli
What is “spherical shaped” called
Cocci
What is “spiral shaped” called
Spirilla
What does “Dip” mean?
2
What does “strep” mean?
Chain
What does “staph” mean?
CLuster
What are the 2 types of gram stains?
Gram positive and gram negative
What does it mean to be “gram positive”?
Stain purple
-Have simpler cell walls, large amounts of peptidoglycan
What does it mean to be “gram negative?”
- Stain red or pink
- Have less peptidoglycan therefore have a more complex cell wall
- Tend to be more deadly
- Resistant to many antibiotics
How do bacteria reproduce?
Binary Fission
What is binary fission?
asexual reproduction that produces identical offspring
Define autotrohphs
obtain energy from sunlight of minerals (make own food)
Define Photoautotrophs
Obtain energy from sunlight
Define chemoautotrphs
Obtain enerhgy from minerals
Define heterotrophs
Obtain energy from organic matter
What are saprophytes?
They feed on dead and decaying material
