Introduction to Bacteria

2 TYPES OF BACTERIA:

•Bacteria

-Get food from an outside source

•Blue-green Bacteria

-Make their own food

4

BACTERIA

Bacteria - small one celled monerans

Bacteria like a warm, dark, and moist environment

They are found almost everywhere:

-water -air

-soil -food

-skin -inside the body

-on most objects

5

Spiral:spirilla

rod-shaped: bacilli, bacillus

Round:cocci

3 Shapes of 3 Shapes of BacteriaBacteria

Bacteria are classified by shape into 3 groups:

3 Shapes of 3 Shapes of BacteriaBacteria

Bacillus anthracis – (bacillus)

Neisseria meningitidis (coccus)

Leptospira interrogans – (spirilla)

Prokaryotic vs. Eykaryotic

• Prokaryotes• There are more bacteria living in your mouth

than there are people living on Earth…Yikes!• 3 shapes: spherical, spiral, rod-like• Flagellum: helps with movement, like a

propeller (not all bacteria have flagellum)• Archaebacteria: live in extreme environments

i.e. hot springs, acidic places, intestines, swamps, sewage

• Eubacteria: do not live in extreme environments i.e. cat skin, swarm in nose

Facts about Bacteria………….

ROD-LIKE SPHERICAL

SPIRAL

• Fun Fact: methane produced by archaebacteria that died millions of years ago is the major component in about 20% of Earth’s deposit of natural gas

• Some bacteria is good-cheese, yogurt, pickles…food digestion

• Antibiotic: chemical that can kill bacteria without harming cells i.e. (Penicillin) causes bacteria to burst

Structure of a Bacteria Cell

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

•Capsule

•Cell wall

•Ribosomes

•Nucleoid

•Flagella

•Pilli

•Cytoplasm

13

Capsule

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

keeps the cell from drying out and helps it stick to food or other cells

14

Cell wall

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

Thick outer covering that maintains the overall shape of the bacterial cell

15

Ribosomes

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

cell part where proteins are made

Ribosomes give the cytoplasm of bacteria a granular appearance in electron micrographs

16

Nucleoid

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

a ring made up of DNA

17

Flagella

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

a whip-like tail that some bacteria have for locomotion

18

19

Pilli

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

hollow hair-like structures made of protein

allows bacteria to attach to other cells.

Pilli-singular Pillus-plural

20

Cytoplasm

7 Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell

clear jelly-like material that makes up most of the cell

21

•Binary Fission- the process of one organism dividing into two organisms

•Fission is a type of asexual reproduction

Reproduction of Reproduction of BacteriaBacteria

How?...The one main (circular) chromosome makes a copy of itselfThen it divides into two

•Asexual reproduction- reproduction of a living thing from only one parent

22

BINARY FISSION

Bacteria dividing Completed

Reproduction of Reproduction of BacteriaBacteria

23

•The time of reproduction depends on how desirable the conditions are

•Bacteria can rapidly reproduce themselves in warm, dark, and moist conditions

•Some can reproduce every 20 minutes

(one bacteria could be an ancestor to one million bacteria in six hours)

Bacterial Cell & Nucleiod DNA Ring

DNA replication

Cell wall synthesis

Cell separation

25

Bacteria Survival

Endospore- •a thick celled structure that forms inside the cell

•they are the major cause of food poisoning

•they can withstand boiling, freezing, and extremely dry conditions•it encloses all the nuclear materials and some cytoplasm

•allows the bacteria to survive for many years

26

Bacillus subtilisEndospore-the black section in the middle

highly resistant structures

can withstand radiation, UV light, and boiling at 120oC for 15 minutes.

Bacteria Survival

27

Bacteria Survival – Food sources

parasites – bacteria that feed on living things

saprophytes – use dead materials for food (exclusively)

decomposers – get food from breaking down dead matter into simple chemicals

important- because they send minerals and other materials back into the soil so other organisms can use them

28

Harmful Bacteria • some bacteria cause diseases

•Animals can pass diseases to humans

Communicable Disease – Disease passed from one organism to another

This can happen in several ways:•Air•Touching clothing, food, silverware, or toothbrush•Drinking water that contains bacteria

Harmful Bacteria

30

Helpful Bacteria•Decomposers help recycle nutrients into

the soil for other organisms to grow

•Bacteria grow in the stomach of a cow to break down grass and hay

•Most are used to make antibiotics

•Some bacteria help make insulin

•Used to make industrial chemicals

Helpful Bacteria

32

•Used to treat sewage          

Organic waste is consumed by the bacteria, used as nutrients by the bacteria, and is no longer present to produce odors, sludge, pollution, or unsightly mess.

•foods like yogurt, cottage & Swiss cheese, sour cream, buttermilk are made from bacteria that grows in milk

Helpful Bacteria

33

Controlling Bacteria3 ways to control

bacteria:1) Canning- the process of sealing food in airtight cans or jars after killing bacteria

•endospores are killed during this process

2) Pasteurization- process of heating milk to kill harmful bacteria

3) Dehydration- removing water from food•Bacteria can’t grow when H2O is

removed •example: uncooked noodles & cold cereal

34

Controlling BacteriaAntiseptic vs. Disinfectants

Antiseptic- chemicals that kill bacteria on living things

•means – “against infection”

Examples: iodine, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, soap, mouthwash

Disinfectants- stronger chemicals that destroy bacteria on objects or nonliving things

35

BLUE-GREEN BACTERIAAutotrophs – make their own

food through photosynthesis

commonly grow on water and surfaces that stay wet…such as rivers, creeks and dams

larger than most bacterial cells

Some live in salt water, snow, and acid water of hot springs

food source for animals that live in the water

36

BLUE-GREEN BACTERIA

Blooms- occur when the bacteria multiplies in great numbers and form scum on the top of the water

can be toxic to humans and animals
