Gram Stain ¡ Gram-positive retain stain and appear purple l ¡ Have thicker layer in cell wall. Gram-negative do not retain stain and take second pink stain instead. Phylum Shape Motility Metabolism Gram reacion Cyanobacteria Bacilli, Cocci Gliding, some nonmotile Aerobic, Gramphotosynthetic negative autotrophic Spirochetes Spirals Corkscrew Aerobic, and anaerobic; heterotrophic Gram-Pos Bacilli, cocci Flagella; some nonmotile Aer/anaer. ; Mostly gramheterotrophic, positive photosynthetic Proteobacteria Bacilli, cocci, spiral Flagella; some nonmotile Aer/anaer. ; heterotrophic, photosynthetic autotrophic Gramnegative 25

STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA Structure Function Cell Wall Protects and gives shape Outer Membrane Protects against antibodies (Gram Neg. Only) Cell Membrane Regulates movement of materials, contains enzymes important to cellular respiration Cytoplasm Contains DNA, ribosomes, essential compounds Chromosome Carries genetic information Plasmid Contains some genes obtained through recomb. Capsule & Protects the cell and assist in attaching cell to Slime Layer other surfaces Endospore Protects cell agains harsh enviornments Pilus Assists the cell in attaching to other surfaces Flagellum Moves the cell 26

No Nucleus-DNA in Cytoplasm 27

Nutrition and Growth ¡ ¡ Heterotrophic or Autotrophic Some are Photoautotrophs – Use sunlight for Energy Some are Chemoautotrophs. Many are Obligate Anaerobes. l Oxygen = Death ¡ Ex. ¡ Some are Faculatative Anaerobes l With or without Oxygen ¡ Ex. ¡ ¡ Clostridium tetani – Tetanus Escherichia Coli Some are Obligate Aerobes l Ex. ) Mycobacterium tuberculosis Temperature requirements l Some are Thermophilic, Some prefer acidic envmt. 28

These heterotrophic bacteria digest oil -remember oil is partially decayed plant and animal cells 29

Bacteria and Disease Pathogen Areas affected Mode of transmission Botulism Clostridium botulinum Nerves Improperly preserved food Cholera Vibrio cholerae Intestine Contaminated water Dental Caries Streptococcus mutans, sanguis, salivarius Teeth Environment to mouth Gonorrhea Neisseria gonorrhoeae Urethra, fallopian Sexual contact Lyme disease Berrelia burgdorferi Skin, joints Tick bite Rocky Mountain SF Rickettsia recketsii Blood, skin Tick bite Salmonella Intestine Contaminated food, water Strep throat Streptococcus pyogenes URT, blood, Sneezes, coughs, etc. skin Tetanus Costridium tetani Nerves Contaminated wounds Tuberculosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lung, bones coughs 30

Some bacteria cause diseases -Disease causing bacteria are call PATHOGENIC 31

Helicobacter pylori is the pathogenic bacteria that can causes ulcers 32

Leprosy is a bacterial infection that decreases blood flow to the extremities resulting in the deterioration of toes, ears, the nose and the fingers. 33

Common Antibiotics Antibiotic Mechanism Target bacteria Penicillin Inhibits cell wall synthesis Gram Positive Ampicillin Inhibits cell wall synthesis Broad spectrum Bacitracin Inhibits cell wall synthesis Gram Positive – Skin Ointment Cephalosporin Inhibits cell wall synthesis Gram Positive Tetracycline Inhibits Protein Synthesis Broad spectrum Streptomycin Inhibits Protein Synthesis Gram Neg. tuberculosis Sulfa drug Inhibits cell metabolism Bacterial meningitis, UTI Rifampin Inhibits RNA synthesis Gram Pos. , some Neg. Quinolines Inhibits DNA Synthesis UTI 42

Some Final Information ¡ ¡ Because antibiotics have been overused, many diseases that were once easy to treat are becoming more difficult to treat. Some Bacteria are Useful l Ex. ) Producing and Processing food Breaking down dead organic material Make unripened cheese like ricotta and cottage by breaking down the protein in milk. 43

VIRUSES Non-living but depends on the living! 44

STRUCTURE ¡ ¡ ¡ Nonliving Composed of Nucleic acid and protein Cause many diseases Virology – Study of Viruses Comparison of Viruses and Cells below Char. Of Life Virus Cell Growth No Yes Homeostasis No Yes Metabolism No Yes Mutation Yes Nucleic acid DNA or RNA DNA Reproduction Only within host cell Independently by cell division Structure Nucleic acid core, protein covering, some have envelope Cytoplasm, cell membrane, etc. . 45

46

Here is a non-enveloped bacteria virus inserting it’s DNA into a bacterial cell. 47

Some virus are pushed out by the cell, taking some of the cell membrane with them. 48

Characteristics of Viruses ¡ ¡ ¡ 2 essential features 1. Nucleic Acid l May be DNA or RNA l Helical, closed loop, or long strand 2. Protein Coat – called CAPSID Some have ENVELOPE l Ex. Influenza, chickepox, herpes simplex, HIV VIRAL SHAPE l Icosahedron – 20 triangular faces ¡ Ex. ) herpes, chickenpox, polio l Helix – Coiled spring ¡ EX. )Rabies, measles, tobacco mosaic 49

All viruses have two main parts: 1. DNA or RNA – genetic info 2. Capsid – a protein encasement 50

Grouping Viruses ¡ Grouped according to: l Presence of Capsid and envelope – shape l RNA or DNA, single or double stranded – struct. Viral Group Nucleic Acid Shape and Structure Example Papovaviruses DNA Icosahedral, non-env. Warts, cancer Adenoviruses DNA Icosahedral, non-env. Resp. & intestinal infections Herpesviruses DNA Icosahedral, enveloped Herpes simplex, chicken pox, mono, shingles Poxviruses DNA Complex brick, enveloped Small pox, cow pox Picornaviruses RNA Icosahedral, non-env. Polio, hepatitis, cancer Myxoviruses RNA Helical, enveloped Influenza A, B, C Rhabdoviruses RNA Helical, enveloped Rabies Retroviruses RNA Icosahedral, enveloped AIDS, cancer 51

Grouping Viruses ¡ Viroids- The smallest known particle that can replicate. l l ¡ Disrupt plant cell metabolism Can destroy entire crops Prions – Abnormal forms of proteins that clump together inside cells. l l Clumping eventually kills the cell Examples Scrapie – in sheep ¡ Mad Cow Disease ¡ 52

PRIONS – man-made problem? 53

Viral Replication ¡ ¡ ¡ Can replicate only by invading host cell and using its enzyme and organelles. Bacteriophage – viruses that infect bacteria l Used to study viruses Lytic Cycle l Viral genome is released into the host cell l Replication follows immediately l Cellular components used to make new viruses l Viral enzyme kills cell. 54

Replication cont’ ¡ Lysogenic Cycle l Nucleic acid of virus becomes part of the host cell’s chromosome l Nucleic acid remains in the cell in this form for many generations l HIV follows this pattern l HIV infects WBC and remains as proviruses l As immune system fails, opportunistic infections occur = AIDS 57

58

Here is a classic picture of HIV viral progeny being released from the surface of a T- cell. Notice the membrane coating they receive. 59

Viruses and Human Disease ¡ Control and Prevention of spread. l Vaccination & Antiviral drugs ¡ ¡ Emerging Viruses – exist in isolated habitats l ¡ Ex. ) chickenpox vaccine, AZT, Acyclovir, protease inhibitors. Do not usually infect humans unless environmental conditions favor contact. Several viruses are now linked to cancers such as leukemia, liver cancer, Burkitt’s lymphoma, cervical cancer. 60

What does bacteria have to do with DNA technology? Bacteria are simple ¡ Bacteria have DNA that is made of nucleotides (A, T, G, C) ¡ Bacteria can be grown quickly and easily ¡ l Give them food, warmth and dark (like inside you shoe) and they will multiply like mad (binary fission) 77

78

¡ Bacteria have plasmids – extra DNA in the form of a circle 79

¡ ¡ ¡ Plasmids are DNA – made out of A, T, C, G nucleotides The same nucleotides found in human DNA, plant DNA, dog DNA, fish DNA, fungus DNA Get it – it’s all the same molecule 80

¡ So… why not take out a plasmid, cut it apart and add any other DNA piece that we want! 81

¡ Then put it back in the bacteria and grow more bacteria with that new plasmid that we have created! Hmmm? http: //www. learner. org/channel/courses/biology/archive/ani mations. html 82

How could r. DNA and transformation be useful? ¡ To be answered in DNA technology presentations ¡ 83

¡ ¡ Transduction – viruses attack cells Bacteriophages: like tiny little syringes that inject DNA into the cell 84
