BACTERIA
Bacteria - small one celled organisms
Bacteria like a warm, dark, and moist environment
They are found almost everywhere:
-water -air
-soil -food
-skin -inside the body
-on most objects

Spiral:spirilla
rod-shaped: bacilli, bacillus
Round:cocci

Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell
•Capsule
•Cell wall
•Ribosomes
•Nucleoid
•Flagella
•Pilli
•Cytoplasm
6
Capsule
Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell
keeps the cell from drying out and helps it stick to food or other cells
7
Cell wall
Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell
Thick outer covering that maintains the overall shape of the bacterial cell
8
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

11
Pilli
Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell
hollow hair-like structures made of protein
allows bacteria to attach to other cells.
Pilli-singular Pillus-plural
12
Cytoplasm
Major Structures of a Bacteria Cell
clear jelly-like material that makes up most of the cell

•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

•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)

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
18
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
19
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
20
Harmful Bacteria
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
22
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
23
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
Welcome to the world of viruses
24
General Structure of Viruses• Size range –
– most <0.2 μm; requires electron microscope
27
General Structure of Viruses
• Capsids– All viruses have capsids - protein coats that enclose
and protect their nucleic acid– The capsid together with the nucleic acid are
nucleocapsid– Some viruses have an external covering called
envelope; those lacking an envelope are naked– Each capsid is constructed from identical subunits
called capsomers made of protein
Structure of Virus
General Structure of Viruses
• Two structural types:
– Helical - continuous helix of capsomers forming a cylindrical nucleocapsid
– Icosahedral - 20-sided with 12 corners– Vary in the number of capsomers
– Each capsomer may be made of 1 or several proteins
– Some are enveloped
Helical Nucleocapsids
31
General Structure of Viruses
• Viral envelope– Mostly animal viruses– Acquired when the virus leaves the host cell– Exposed proteins on the outside of the envelope,
called spikes, essential for attachment of the virus to the host cell
General Structure of Viruses
• Complex viruses: atypical viruses– Poxviruses lack a typical capsid and are
covered by a dense layer of lipoproteins– Some bacteriophages have a polyhedral
nucleocapsid along with a helical tail and attachment fibers

Nucleic Acids
• Viral genome – either DNA or RNA but never both
• Carries genes necessary to invade host cell and redirect cell’s activity to make new viruses
• Number of genes varies for each type of virus – few to hundreds
9/1/09 Mickey Dufilho
Nucleic Acids• DNA viruses
– Usually double stranded (ds) but may be single stranded (ss)
– Circular or linear
• RNA viruses – Usually single stranded, may be double stranded,
may be segmented into separate RNA pieces
How Viruses Are Classified• Main criteria presently used are structure,
chemical composition, and genetic makeup
• Currently recognized: 3 orders, 63 families, and 263 genera of viruses
• Family name ends in -viridae, i.e.Herpesviridae
• Genus name ends in -virus, Simplexvirus
• Herpes simplex virus I (HSV-I)

Mode of Viral MultiplicationGeneral phases in animal virus multiplication
cycle:1. Adsorption – binding of virus to specific
molecule on host cell2. Penetration – genome enters host cell3. Uncoating – the viral nucleic acid is released
from the capsid4. Synthesis – viral components are produced5. Assembly – new viral particles are constructed6. Release – assembled viruses are released by
budding (exocytosis) or cell lysis
409/1/09 Mickey Dufilho
Adsorption and Host Range• Virus coincidentally collides with a susceptible
host cell and adsorbs specifically to receptor sites on the cell membrane
• Spectrum of cells a virus can infect – host range– Hepatitis B – human liver cells– Poliovirus – primate intestinal and nerve cells– Rabies – various cells of many mammals
Penetration/Uncoating
• Flexible cell membrane is penetrated by the whole virus or its nucleic acid by:– Endocytosis – entire virus is engulfed and
enclosed in a vacuole or vesicle– Fusion – envelope merges directly with
membrane resulting in nucleocapsid’s entry into cytoplasm
Replication and Protein Production
• Varies depending on whether the virus is a DNA or RNA virus
• DNA viruses generally are replicated and assembled in the nucleus
• RNA viruses generally are replicated and assembled in the cytoplasm
Release• Assembled viruses leave host cell in one of two
ways:– Budding – exocytosis; nucleocapsid binds to
membrane which pinches off and sheds the viruses gradually; cell is not immediately destroyed
– Lysis – nonenveloped and complex viruses released when cell dies and ruptures
• Number of viruses released is variable– 3,000-4,000 released by poxvirus– >100,000 released by poliovirus

Damage to Host Cell
Cytopathic effects - virus-induced damage to cells
1. Changes in size and shape2. Cytoplasmic inclusion bodies3. Inclusion bodies4. Cells fuse to form multinucleated cells5. Cell lysis6. Alter DNA7. Transform cells into cancerous cells
