2. What do you know about bacterial structure, function & reproduction?
- 3 shapes: round (cocci), rod (bacilli) & helical (spirilla & spirochetes)
- 1 – 5 µm dia. (eukaryotic cells 10 – 100 µm dia.)
- Cell wall outside plasma membrane w/ peptidoglycan (not archae)
- Gram (+) – lots of peptidoglycan
- Gram (-) – less peptidoglycan (more resistant to antibiotics)

(a) Gram-positive. Gram-positive bacteria have
a cell wall with a large amount of peptidoglycan
that traps the violet dye in the cytoplasm. The
alcohol rinse does not remove the violet dye,
which masks the added red dye.
(b) Gram-negative. Gram-negative bacteria have less
peptidoglycan, and it is located in a layer between the
plasma membrane and an outer membrane. The
violet dye is easily rinsed from the cytoplasm, and the
cell appears pink or red after the red dye is added.

How can prokaryotes obtain energy & carbon?
What are the metabolic relationships to oxygen?
- Obligate aerobes – require O2
- Facultative anaerobes – prefer O2 but can do fermentation
- Obligate anaerobes – poisoned by O2 – can do fermentation & some can
use anaerobic respiration
5. What is the origin of photosynthesis?
- Cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae)
- H2S metabolizing bacteria mutated to use…….
- H 2O
- Released O2 reacted with dissolved iron
- Formed iron oxide precipitate

What are some ecological impacts of bacteria?
- Chemical cycling
- Symbiotic relationships
- Mutualism – both organisms benefit (+/+)
- Commensalism – only 1 benefits (+/___)
- Parasitic – 1 benefits & the other harmed (+/-)
9. How can you determine if a pathogen causes a disease?
- Koch’s postulates
1. Find the same pathogen in all diseased individuals
2. Isolate the pathogen & grow it in pure culture
3. Induce the disease in naïve animals
4. Re-isolate the pathogen

10. How can bacteria harm us?
- Disease – Lyme disease
- Exotoxin – secreted chemicals – botulism, cholera
- Endotoxin – released upon bacterial death - Salmonella
