-
Nomenclature
- Naming of organisms
- Linnaeus est. system of naming
- Genus
- Species
-
Genus
- Capitalized
- Italicized or underlined
-
Species
- Follows genus
- Italicized and underlined
-
Prokaryotes
- Single-celled orgamisms
- Gentic material is NOT enclosed in a membrane
- Bacteria, Archaea
-
Eukaryotes
- Organisms that have DISTINCT nucleus with gentic material
- Fungi
- Protozoa
-
Bacteria
- Prokaryotes
- Peptidoglycan (protein-card) cell wall
- Binary fussion-divide into 2 equal cells
- Energy=photosythesis, chemicals
-
Archaea
- Prokaryotic
- No peptidoglycan wall
- Live in extreme enviroment
- Methanogens-make methane
- Halophiles-love salt
- Thermophilies-love heat
-
Fungi
- Eukaryotes
- Chitin cell wall
- Mold has visible mass called mycelia made of hyphaeYeast is unicellular
-
Protozoa
- Eukartoytes
- Move by flagella, pseudopods, cilia
- Absorb or ingest organic chemicals
-
Algea
- Eukaryotes
- Photosynthetic energy
- Cellulose (carb) cell wall
- Produce oxygen, carbohycrates
-
Viruses
- Acellular cell containing DNA or RNA core
- Core surrounded by protein coat-which may be in a lipid coat
- Can only reproduce when in living host
-
Multicellular Animal Parasites
- Eukaryotes
- Mulitcellular animals
- Flatworms and Roundworms-HelminthsCant live w/out host
- Egg life cycle
-
Robert Hooke
- 1665
- Dicovered cells or tiny boxes
-
Rudolf Virchow
Said cells arise from peexisiting cells
-
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Dicovered live microorganisms
-
Spontaneous generation
Hypothesis that living organisms arise from nonliving matter
-
Biogenesis
Hypothesis that living organisms arise from preexiting life
-
Pasteur
- Pasteurization
- Learned heat killed spoilage bacteria
- "S" chaped flask
-
Fermentation
The conversion of sugar and alcohol to make beer and wine.
-
Joseph Lister
Developed chemical disinfectant used to prevent surgical infection
-
Robert Koch
- Prove that microbs cause disease
- Kocks Postulates
-
Edward Jenner
- Discovered vaccination (cowpox)
- Immunity
-
Alexander Fleming
- Discovered antiniotics
- Penicillin killed S. aureus
-
Bacteriology
The study of bacteria
-
Mycology
The study of fungi
-
Virology
The study of viruses
-
Parasitology
The study of protozoa and parasitic worms
-
Immunology
The study of immunity
-
Microbial genetics
The study of how microbes inherit traits
-
Molecular biology
The study of how DNA directs protein synthesis
-
Genomics
The study of an orgamisms genes
-
Recombinant DNA
- DNA made from two different sources
- Pauls Berg inserted animal DNA into bacteria DNA, the bacteria produces an animal protein
-
Microbial Ecology
- Bacteria recycle cardon, nutrients, sulfur, phosphorus that can be use by plants and animals
- Can be good and bad
-
Bioremediation
- Bacteria degrade organic matter-sewage
- Detoxifying pollutants-oil-mercury
-
Biotechnology
The use of microbes to produce food, chemicals
-
Recombinant DNA technology
- Enables bacteria and fungi to produce proteins-vaccines-enzymes
- Gene therapy
-
Normal Microbiota
- Flora-all over body in and out
- #1 defence-prevent growth of pathogens
- Resistance-ability to ward off disease
- Skin, stomach acid
-
Biofilms
Like to congregate, form communities
-
Emerging Infectious Diseases EIDs
New stronger diseases increase and # of cases increase
-
Avian influenza A (bird flu)
- influenza A viris
- Waterfowl or poultry
- Not yet human to human transfer
-
MRSA
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
- Basicaly resistant to everything-new strands
