Classification of microorganisms and functional anatomy of prokatyotic and eukaroytic cells CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS • 1735 - Linnaeus-Established first classification system for classifying living things. • Established the binomial*" system of nomenclature for_-naming organisms. • This means that each living organism is given a * genus and species name. • This is called the scientific name and MUST always be written with the genus name first and the species name second. • The genus name must be capitalized and the species name written in lower case letters. • The entire scientific name must be either italicized or underlined. Linaeus's classification system was composed of 2 Kingdoms • . A plant kingdom and an animal kingdom. • Microorganisms were considered so unimportant that they were grouped under a heading of Vermes in a catagory Chaos. 1969.Robert Whittaker-devised a five-kingdom classification system based on the 'cellular organization and nutritional patterns of organisms. • In 1969, R. H. Whittaker developed a 5 kingdom system which included: 1. Plants 2. Animals 3. Protist 4. Fungi 5. Monera/ Prokaryotes ALL CELLS ARE CLASSIFIED AS EITHER PROKARYOTES OR EUKARYOTES • • • • • • • • • PROKARYOTES - pro means primitive DNA contains no protein .lack nucleus no organelles single chromosome composed of DNA in loop. chlorophyll, if present, is in cytoplasm. ribosomes are smaller and free in the cytoplasm. cell usually surrounded by a cell wall. Reproduce by fission: no evidence of mitosis EXAMPLES - bacteria, rickettsiae, chlamydiae, mycoplasms, cyanobacteria EUKARYOTES - eu means true • • • • • • • • have nucleus have organelles (ex. mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum. have multiple chromosomes in nucleus with protein around chromosome ribosomes bound to membrane or free in cytoplasm. Larger. chlorophyll, if present, is in organelle. cell wall absent or less complex chemistry reproduce by mitosis EXAMPLE - fungi, protozoa, plants, animals Cellular Components: • Plastids- contains pigment NUCLEUS • double membrane bound contains chromatin disappears during mitosis or meiosis when the chromosomes divide and is reformed after cytoplasmic organelle NUCLEOLUS • Aka “little nucleus” • Found in the nucleus • Contains RNA and proteins for ribosome synthesis CYTOPLASM • gelatin-like inside cell membrane • constantly flows • It contains the various organelles of the cell ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM • extensive convoluted membrane continuous with the outer nuclear membrane and enclosing a continuous internal space involved in the synthesis and transport of membrane proteins and lipids and of proteins destined for secretion from the cell ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM • A series of folded membranes that move materials (proteins) around in a cell like a conveyor belt • Smooth ER – ribosomes not attached to ER, functions in lipid synthesis • Rough ER – ribosomes attached to ER, functions in producing proteins RIBOSOMES • Make proteins • Float freely or • attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ribosomes are made in the nucleolus and are small particles of RNA MITOCHONDRIA • Organelles that • release energy from food (power house of cell) This energy is released by AKA the powerhouse b/c they release energy (ATP) from food Folds of mitochodria are called: GOLGI BODIES (GAWL jee) • Stacked flattened • membranes Sort and package proteins LYSOSOMES (LI suh sohmz) • The word "lysosome" is Latin for "kill • • body." The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies. Break down food molecules, cell wastes & worn out cell parts VACUOLES • Temporary storage spaces • Store food, water, waste • may contain air, water, cell sap, partially digested food etc... Centrioles • Short cylinder near nuclear envelope • There generally are 2 at right angles to each other • They control cell division Peroxisome• small organelle bounded by a single membrane and containing • catalase and peroxidases • important in detoxification reactions Cell Wall • located beneath the capsule and external • • • • to the cytoplasmic membrane. All bacteria except for mycoplasms have cell walls. Functions: A. Maintain shape of bacteria B. Prevent cell from rupturing - internal pressure 20 times external pressure. C. Point of anchorage for flagella • The cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan which is present either alone or in combination with other substances. • The peptidoglycan is composed of a carbohydrate backbone linked together by peptides. • Gram positive cell walls are composed of a thick layer of peptidoglycan approximately 25 nm in thickness. • Teiochoic acid is also present in the peptidoglycan layer. • The peptidoglycan makes up about 50% of the dry weight. • Gram negative cell walls are composed of • • a thin layer of peptidoglycan approximately 3 nm in thickness. There is no teiochoic acid in the peptidoglycan layer but there are layers of lipopolysaccharide, phospholipids, and lipoproteins outside the peptidoglycan layer. The peptidoglycan layer makes up about 10% of the dry weight. • Penicillin - antibiotic that functions in • preventing the formation of cell walls. Works best on Gram + bacteria. • Lysozyme - an enzyme found in body secretions • • • • that breaks down cell walls. Protoplast - a Gram + bacterium that has had the cell wall removed. Made by treating cell with Lysozyme. Spheroplast - a Gram - bacterium that has had the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall removed. Still has the cell membrane with the lipid layers of the cell wall on the outside. Both protoplast and spheroplast will be spherical regardless of their original shape. CELL MEMBRANE • approximately 7.5 nm thick and composed of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins dispersed throughout. • The phospholipid bilayer is composed of phosphates and glycerol on the outside with tails of fatty acids on the inside. • The polar heads are on the 2 outside surfaces and the non-polar tails are on the inside. • The arrangement of phospholipids and proteins is referred to as the fluid mosaic model due to the continuous change in the arrangement of the molecules. • Ethyl alcohol and poly myxin destroys the membrane. Functions: 1. selective barrier - membrane is 2. 3. 4. 5. selectively permeable serves as anchor for attachment of DNA site of enzymes that function in cell wall synthesis (permeases) site of enzymes that function in energy production secretes exoenzymes that break down large molecules MAJOR GROUPS OF MICROORGANISMS 1. BACTERIA – • unicellular, prokaryotic organisms that • • are among the most abundant on earth. May be aerobic (requires oxygen) anaerobic (Needs no oxygen), or facultative (indifferent to oxygen, can survive either way). Multiply by binary fission (single chromosome duplicates and 2 chromosomes move to different areas and membranes grow inward). Bacteria have 3 basic shapes – a) coccus-round b) bacillus -rod c) spiral-curved shape called spirillum • Some form endospores-cell shrinks, rounds up within old membrane and forms new thicker walls. • Average size is one micrometer. • BACTERIOLOGY-study of bacteria Types of Bacteria • Rickettsiae • -small bacteria, among the tiniest microorganisms, usually transmitted by arthropods. Grow and multiply only within living cells. .5 urn. in size. Ex. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 1 micrometer = 1 thousandth of a millimeter • Chlamydiae • -subgroup of Rickettsiae, among smallest Rickettsiae, .25 urn. Grow and multiply only in living cells. Ex. disease of eye, lung, and urogenital tract. • Mycoplasms • smaller than Chlamydiae, .1 urn. Pleomorphic, has no cell wall, can grow on artificial media if certain steroids are added. Ex. walking pneumonia. Types of Bacteria • Cyanobacteria • Known as blue-green algae. Nore • closely related to bacteria because of structural and biochemical properties. Not true bacteria. Possesses lighttrapping pigments, many are blue but some are black, red, yellow, or green. Inhabit both fresh and salt water. Ex makes swimming pools green. 2. Protozoans: • Single celled eukaryotes that are usually • • • microscopic. Can cause parasitic diseases such as malaria. Some are capable of photosynthesis but most are not. They are classified according to their locomotion ( flagella, cilia, pseudopods) Protozoa average about 100um. • Protozoology is the study of protozoas 3. FUNGI• • • eukaryotic, non-photosynthetic, and contain chitin in their cell walls. Plants do not have chitin in the cell walls. Aid bacteria in decomposition. Include yeast, molds, and mushrooms. Yeast are 8 urn and molds are 40 - 100 urn. Mycology is the study of fungi. 4. ALGAE• eukaryotic, photosynthetic plants that • • • • range in size from a single cell to giant kelp 30 m. in length. One genus produces neurotoxins causing shellfish poisoning. Microbiologist are interested in the algae classified in the kingdom Protista. Extremely important in food chain in oceans. Phycology is the study of algae.' 5. VIRUSES • -neither prokaryote or eukaryote. • Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. • This means that the virus depends on the host'cell for reproduction and growth. • Viruses are non-cellular, infectious agents composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat. • Viruses are considered the link between the living and the nonliving. • Cause diseases such as herpes, rabies, flu, hepatitis, polio, and chickenpox. • Only observable activity is reproduction. • Viruses are measured nanometers. Smallpox largest ( 250nm) polio smallest ( 20 nm) • Virology is the study of viruses. Bacteria Morphology: the size, shape, structure and arrangement of cells. • SIZE - average one urn. • Because of small size have high surface area to • • • • • • • volume ratio. This explains the high rate of growth and metabolism. Sphere has the smallest surface area to volume ratio. SHAPE - three basic shapes governed by cell wall. coccus - spherical, may be oval, elongated, or indented. bacillus-rod spiral-helically curved a. vibrios-comma shaped b. spirilia-rigid cell wall with flagella c. spirochetes-flexible wall with no flagella • diplococcus - cells divide in one plane and • • • • • remain attached in pairs. streptococcus - cells divide in one plane and remain attached to form chains. tetracoccus - cells divide in two planes and form groups of 4 cells. staphylococcus - cells divide in three planes and produce grape like clusters of bacteria. sarcinae - cells divide in three planes in a regular pattern producing cuboidal arrangement of cells. Occasionally bacterial cells may be star shaped or square. BACTERIAL SIRUCTURES Structures External to Cell Wall • 1. Glycocalyx-general term used for substances that surround the cell. • Viscous, gelatinous substance composed of polysaccharide, polypeptide, or both. • A. Capsule-a glycocalyx that is organized and • • • • • • • firmly attached to the cell wall. Forms in various species of bacilli and cocci, BUT NOT IN SPIRAL BACTERIA. Functionsprovide protection against drying by binding water molecules blocks attachment by bacteriophages may be antiphagocytic (enhibits engulfment of pathogenic bacteria by white blood cells. promotes attachment of bacteria to surfaces 5. if capsule has electrical charge may promote stability of bacterial suspension by preventing cells from settling out. • B. Slime layer - glycocalyx of looser • • • • consistency and less tightly bound to cell wall. Contains mass of tangled fibers of polysaccharide called dextran. Attaches bacteria to tissue. EX. Alcaligenes viscolactis - ropy milk Bacillus subtilis • ropy bread Streptococcxis mutans - tooth decay • 2. Flagella - Hairlike, helical appendages composed of protein that protrude through the cell wall and are responsible for swimming motility. • They are much thinner and less complex in structure than eukaryotic flagella Location of Flagella • A. monotrichous - 1 flagellum at one pole of cell. • B. amphitrichous - 1 flagellum at each pole of cell. • C. lophotrichous - a tuff of flagella at one pole. • D. peritrichous - flagella Composed of three parts: • A. helical filament - usually several times • • • • as long as the cell. 20 nm.in diameter B. short hook C. Basal body-ring shaped bases (2 in Gram negative and 1 in Gram positive cells) associated with cell wall and cell membrane. Common in spiral and rod shaped bacteria but Rare in cocci. Taxis: movement toward or away from a certain stimulus. • Chemotaxis refers to movement toward or away from a chemical. • Phototaxis refers to movement toward or away from light • 3. Pili and fimbriae - hollow, non helical, filamentous appendages that are thinner, shorter, and more numerous than flagella. • Do not function in motility. Composed of protein pilin. • A. Fimbriae may be located all over the bacteria and function in attachment. • B. Pili - one or two per cell and function in the transfer of DNA. Called sex pili. • Fimbriae are found primarily on Gram negative bacteria • Endospores - a highly resistant, metabolically dormant form which under appropriate conditions can germinate to form a new vegatative cell. This is a survival mechanism for the cell. Spores resistance due to: • dehydration • large amounts of dipicolinic acid Endospore • Spore formation is genetically determined. • Spore formation is NOT a form of reproduction. • Spore formation is found primarily in Gram • • positive organisms. Spores can remain alive in boiling water for hours, can survive The genera Bacillus and Clostridium are the best known spore formers.
