Archaebacteria• Subdivided into 3 groups:
MethanogensThermoacidophiles
Extreme Halophiles
![Page 31: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Methanogens• Break
down cellulose in a cow’s stomach
• Produce marsh (methane) gas
![Page 32: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Extreme Halophiles
• Live in very salty water
• Use salt to generate ATP (energy)
• Dead Sea, Great Salt Lake inhabitants
![Page 33: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Thermoacidophiles or Thermophiles• Live in
extremely hot environments
• Found in volcanic vents, hot springs, cracks on ocean floor that leak acid

35
Characteristics• 3 basic shapes (coccus,
bacillus, spirilla)• Most are heterotrophic
(can’t make their own food)
• May be aerobic or anaerobic
• Identified by Gram staining
![Page 36: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Gram Staining• Developed in 1884 by
Hans Gram• Bacteria treated with
purple Crystal Violet & red Safranin stains
• Cell walls either stain purple or reddish pink
![Page 37: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Gram Positive• Have thick
layer of peptidoglycan (protein-sugar complex)
• Single lipid layer
• Stain purple• Can be
treated with antibiotics
![Page 38: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Gram Negative Bacteria
• Thin layer of peptidoglycan in cell wall
• Extra thick layer of lipids• Stain pink or reddish• Hard to treat with
antibiotics• Some photosynthetic but
make sulfur not oxygen• Some fix nitrogen for
plants
![Page 39: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Nutrition, Respiration,
and Reproduction
![Page 40: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Modes of Nutrition• Saprobes – feed on
dead organic matter• Parasites – feed on a
host cell• Photoautotroph – use
sunlight to make food• Chemoautotroph –
oxidize inorganic matter such as iron or sulfur to make food
![Page 41: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Methods of Respiration
• Obligate Aerobes – require O2 (tuberculosis bacteria)
• Obligate Anaerobes – die if O2 is present (tetanus)
• Facultative Anaerobes – don’t need O2, but aren’t killed by it (E. coli)
![Page 42: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Reproduction• Bacteria reproduce
asexually by binary fission
• Single chromosome replicates & then cell divides
• Rapid• All new cells identical
(clones)
![Page 43: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

44
Reproduction• Bacteria reproduce
sexually by Conjugation
• Form a tube between 2 bacteria to exchange genetic material
• Held together by pili• New cells NOT
identical
![Page 45: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

46
Spore Formation• Form endospore
whenever when habitat conditions become harsh (little food)
• Able to survive for long periods of time as endosperm
• Difficult to destroy (heat resistant)
![Page 47: Bacteria](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816623550346895dd97b20/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

48
Pathogens• Called germs or microbes• Cause disease• May produce poisons or
toxins• Endotoxins released after
bacteria die (E. coli)• Exotoxins released by
Gram + bacteria (C. tetani)
