Bacteria and Viruses
BACTERIA
The beautiful colors in this sulfur
spring are caused by the bacteria
that live in it. Bacteria can survive
in extreme habitats.
Prokaryote Review

Mostly single -celled
No nucleus
 Circular chromosomes
 Cell walls
 Reproduce mostly asexually
 Anaerobic or aerobic
 Heterotrophic or autotrophic
Archaebacteria
 Methane
producers –
anaerobic
 Halophiles
 Halo
= salt
 Philia = love
 Thermophiles
 Thermo = heat
THESE BACTERIA CELLS HAVE
PEPTIDOGLYCAN IN THEIR CELL WALLS TO
Hey you, Bacteria, I love your shape!!!

Bacteria are Named by Shape
 Coccus
(ball-shaped)
 Streptococcus
 Bacillus
(rod-shaped)
 Clostridium
 Spirilli
mutans
botulinum
(spiral-shaped)

Bacteria Good??
BACTERIA CAN HELP THOSE WHO ARE INSULIN DEFICIENT (SOME
DIABETICS). THIS IS DONE WHEN THE BACTERIA’S DNA COMBINES
WITH INSULIN PRODUCING GENES FROM HUMAN.
VIRUSES
Are viruses alive?




Only 1 characteristic of life:
reproduction
Can only reproduce inside a host
cell!
Process or reproduction = lytic cycle
Like bacteria, viruses produce
disease by disrupting the body’s
normal equilibrium (homeostasis).

Lytic
Pathway
Lysis of host cell is induced;
infectious particles escape.
Tail fibers and other parts
are added to coats.
Virus particles bind to wall of suitable host.
Viral genetic material enters cell cytoplasm.
Viral protein molecules are assembled
into coats; DNA is packaged inside.
Viral DNA directs host
machinery to produce viral
proteins and viral DNA.

Lysogenic
Pathway
Viral DNA usually becomes
integrated into the bacterial
chromosome.
Prior to prokaryotic fission, the
chromosome and integrated
viral DNA are replicated.
Viral DNA is excised from
chromosome and cell
enters lytic pathway.
After binary fission, each
daughter cell will have
recombinant DNA.

Virus Nucleic Acid

DNA viruses – stable, do not mutate
rapidly

Evolution and Disease



Host and pathogen are coevolving
If a pathogen kills too quickly, it
might disappear along with the
individual host
Most dangerous if pathogen


Is overwhelming in numbers
Is in a novel host
Is a mutant strain
Nature of Diseases
