- Slide 1
- Microbes Microbes like bacteria and viruses are part of our
daily lives! On the following slides, the red sections identify the
main points; Underlined words = vocabulary! Hyperlinks are in blue.

- Slide 3
- In 2009 the world was introduced to swine flu (H1N1) which is
caused by new strain of virus similar to the common cold; it
quickly spread around the globe. Tuberculosis, TB (shown here) hit
Houston in 2013! Microscopic life is everywhere, but MOST microbes
are not deadly!

- Slide 4
- A nefarious baculovirus, that only targets the gypsy moth
caterpillar, infects it's host and forces it to climb to the very
top of a tree, before liquefying it and showering deadly,
disease-ridden goo down onto the other caterpillars below. Horror

- Slide 5
- Use the colored paper to create your T-chart on viruses and
bacteria. There will be the following bullets to compare:
Definition Shapes Cut out the example image. Reproduction
- Slide 6
- A virus is an infectious agent with a core of genetic material
(DNA or RNA) and surrounded by a protein coat [aka capsid] and
lipid envelope. They are NOT cells (no membranes or organelles)
Reproduce only within a host cell Considered parasites Animation

- Slide 7
- This diagram compares a human liver cell, a single ribosome,
and a bacterium, to some common viruses. Viruses are very very
small (b/w.003 ~.05 microns)!small

- Viruses come in many shapes. Viral shapes include: Helical a
twisted coil Polyhedral a sphere surrounded by polygons; EX Herpes
Spherical EX Influenza + others

- Slide 11
- Viruses are very host specific; the protein arrangement [aka
coding spikes] on the exterior recognize only specific cells [like
the lock and key model in enzymes]. Animation

- Slide 12
- A virus needs a host to reproduce; they have to use a cell! A
host is an organism that shelters and nourishes something else
(think hostess). Viruses reproduce in three ways: 1.Lytic
2.Lysogenic 3.Retrovirus Animation Animation

- Slide 13
- The following information will not fit on your T chart add this
information to your notebook.
- Slide 14
- Lytic Cycle viral replication that rapidly kills a host cells
1.Virus attaches to cell and injects its DNA 2.Tricks the host
cell, makes viral mRNA for viral proteins 3.Enzymes cut up the
cells DNA; build viral DNA 4.The cell now builds viruses 5.Cell
lyses, or bursts 6.Minion viruses infect other cells EX FluFlu

- Slide 15
- Lysogenic Cycle the virus does not immediately kill the host
cell [remains dormant] EX Herpes 1.Viral genome inserts itself into
the hosts DNA [provirus] 2.Every time the cell divides, the
invading virus DNA is copied 3.Eventually, the virus is eventually
activated and enters the lytic cycle EX Herpes

- Slide 16
- Retrovirus - the most complicated form of viral replication is
the retrovirus; prefix retro means backwards, in this case, from
RNA to DNAretrovirus 1.They produce a copy of DNA using reverse
transcriptase, an enzyme 2.Then follows the steps of lysogenic
replication EX HIV http://aws.labome.com/figure/te-174-1.png
- Slide 17
- Vaccines - stimulate the bodys immune system with a harmless
(weakened) form of a virus to create antibodies to prevent disease
EX Flu shot, chicken pox vaccine Animation Animation

- Electron micrograph of Martian meteorite ALH84001 showing
structures that some scientists think could be fossilized bacteria
like life forms. ImageImage
- Slide 21
- Bacteria comes in many shapes [the colors match the images]:
Spheres (or cocci) Rods (or bacilli) Spirals (or spirilla) Chains
(or strepto) Clusters/Groups (or staphlyo)

- Colored scanning, electron micrograph (SEM) of anthrax bacteria
(Bacillus anthracis), the cause of the disease anthrax in humans
and livestock. Anthrax is used as in bioterrorism.

- Slide 23
- Bacteria reproduce in three ways: 1.Binary fission - asexual
reproduction, cell divides producing 2 identical daughter cells

- Slide 24
- 2.Conjugation - sexual reproduction that exchanges genetic
material between 2 cells Moves DNA between cells, allows for
genetic diversity Bacterial cells can mutate to create new strains

- Slide 25
- 3.Spores some bacteria delayed reproduction, thick walls around
their DNA called an endospore during unfavorable conditions; they
can resist drought, heat, even radiation. When conditions improve,
the germinates endospore and the bacteria grows again. An
endospore. Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax,
produces persistent endospores. The thick, protective coat helps it
survive in the soil for years. ImageImage
- Slide 26
- Foods! EX cheese, yogurt, soy sauce, etc. Some bacteria can
remove waste products from water and sewage; bacteria has been
modified to consume oil in oil spills. Bioremediation process of
using microorganisms to help restore natural environmental
conditions. http://

- Slide 27
- Some bacteria are producers and create oxygen and/or nitrogen
used by some plants and animals. As decomposers, they recycle
nutrients into raw elements.

- Slide 28
- Viroids cause disease in plants Just a single strand of RNA
molecule w/ no capsid Prions cause disease in animals Just
particles of protein EX Mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease may be caused by prions. Potato spindle tuber viroid
(PSTVd) in tomatoe plants. ImageImage
- Slide 29
- Vaccines - stimulate the bodys immune system with antigens to
prevent disease EX Tuberculosis vaccine Antibiotics - block the
growth of bacteria They can be used to cure and treat many diseases
caused by bacteria that, in the past, have been deadly. http://

- Slide 30
- Modern bacteria are evolving! Modern disinfectants,
antiseptics, hand sanitizers, etc. and anti-bacterial soaps are
designed to kill microbes. Remember, however, the overuse of these
products and antibiotics can cause the bacteria to mutate and
become resistant and more dangerous and difficult to kill. Super

- Slide 31
- Some bacteria and viruses [and other types of life] can be
pathogens; some pathogens are deadly, some are not. Epidemiologists
are scientists who study the cause and spread of diseases [aka
pathogens] through populations. Video Video
