ARCHAEBACTERIA
Live in harsh conditions

EUBACTERIA
More normal and
common bacteria



Archaebacteria are prokaryotes.
Prokaryotes are: single celled without a nucleus
organisms and are the smallest and simplest
forms of life.
Archaebacteria are found in anaerobic and
extreme conditions (high salt, high
temperature, and/or very acidic.)


These are believed to be the conditions on the early
Earth. Earth’s early atmosphere did not contain
oxygen, therefore the earliest organisms were
anaerobic.
Anaerobic  can live in the absence of oxygen


Lives in extremely salty places.
Picture on the right shows a salty pond in the
Arabian desert that has turned red due to the
presence of Halobacterium salinarum


Thermus thermophilus
is an archaean which
can withstand very
high temperatures.
Often lives in hot
springs like those
found at Yellowstone.



Eubacteria are also prokaryotes.
Eubacteria is made up of more traditional
bacteria and is a larger kingdom than
archaebacteria.
They are found in almost all habitats.
Eubacteria are unicellular and have no
membrane-bound organelles.

ie: no nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ER, or
Golgi apparatus.

Cocci  spherical
Bacilli  rod shaped
Spirilla  spiral shaped


Cilia and Flagella allow a bacterium to move.
Cilia are hair-like and work like oars in a boat.
 Repetitive beating allows the cell to move.


If a bacteria cannot move cilia can also move water
across the cell’s surface.
Flagella are whip-like and wave back and forth
to move the cell.


Most bacteria are heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs feed on other organisms.
These include parasites which live and feed off of a
living host
 and decomposers that feed on dead and decaying
organisms



Some bacteria are autotrophs.
Autotrophs use chemicals or photosynthesis as
a form of energy.
Bacteria reproduce either asexually or sexually.
Asexual Reproduction


Prokaryotes reproduce
by splitting in two in a
process called binary
fission.
The DNA is copied and
the cell divides into two
identical cells.
Sexual Reproduction


Combines genes from
two different
individuals.
Prokaryotes that do not
technically reproduce
sexually can still mix
genes with one another.


Cells that do not reproduce sexually can still
mix genes through three processes:
Conjugation- Two cells briefly join and one
cell donates DNA to the other.
Transformation – Bacteria pick up pieces of
DNA from the environment.
Transduction- viruses can transfer pieces of
DNA from one cell to another
These processes add genetic diversity to
bacteria.
Mutation is also a large source of genetic
diversity in bacteria.

Bacteria cause disease in two ways:
By damaging tissues and breaking down cells
for food
By releasing toxins that interfere with the
normal bodily functions of the host.

1.
To treat diseases caused by bacteria we use:
Vaccines  small doses of live bacteria, killed
bacteria, or parts of bacterial cells which cause
an immune response.


Vaccines allow your body to learn how to kill a
bacteria without getting sick.
Antibiotics  drugs that interfere with the
growth of bacteria
