The cell | is the fundamental unit of any living organism because it exhibits the basic characteristics of life. |
The two catagories of cells: | Eucaryotic(more complex) and procaryotic |
Procaryotic microbes: | Bacteria and archaea (Cellular) |
Eucaryotes | algae, protozoa, fungi (Cellular) plant, animals, and humans. |
Microbes not composed of cells | viruses, prions, viroids |
Viruses | acellular: not living |
Cellular | procaryotes (archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria) |
Acellular (energy from host) | viroids, prions, viruses |
Eurotic cells contain a ________ nucleus. | "true" |
procaryotic cells | do not have a true nucleus |
a true nucleus consists of: | nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nuclear membrane. |
Eucaryotic cells possess: | a complex system of membranes and membrane bound organelles |
Procaryotic cells | do not possess a complex of membranes and membrane bound organelles |
eucaryotic and procaryotic cells possess | a cell membrane: selectiv permeability, allowing certain substances to pass through them. |
Eucaryotic nucleus | "command center" 3 components: nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nuclear membrane. |
Chromosomes are embedded in: | the nucleopasm |
eucaryotic chromosomes consist of: | linear DNA molecules and proteins |
Genes are located | along chromosomes. |
An organism's complete collection of genes are referred to as its | genotype or genome (beads on a string) |
each gene contains | information to produce one or moree gene products (usually protein) |
A semi-fluid, gelatinous, nutrient matrix. Contains storage granules and a variety of organelles.Each organelle has a specific function. Is where most metobalic reactions occur | Cytoplasm |

Microbial Classification by carl woosey 1970's | 3 domain system of class: based on differences in structure of ribosomal RNA molecules among organisms. |
3 Domain syatem of classifications | Archaea (procaryotic) acient bacteria, Bacteria (procaryotic), Eucarya (all eucarotic organisms) |

class & ID: cell morphology, stain reaction, motility, colony morphology,atmospheric req, nutritional req,enzymes produced, pathogenicity, genetic composition | Domain Bacteria Characteristics |
Domain bacteria characteristics | 3 major phenotypic catagories: gram-neg(cell wall), gram-pos (cell wall), those that lackcell wall (mycoplasmic) |
acellular antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, drugs that are used, interfere w/ virus-specific enzymes and production by disrupting phases in viral multiplication/ inhibiting synthesis of viral RNA/DNA or protein | antiviral agents |
escape from their host cells either by lysis of the cell or budding. | animal viruses |
escape by budding | become envelope viruses |
penetration of host cell by non-enveloped virus via endocytosis. Penetration by an enveloped virus | summary of lytic process |
phages, virus that infect bacteria, 2 catagories: virulent and temperate. | bacteriophages |
always cause lytic cycle which end with destruction of the cell | virulent |
attatchment,penetration, biosynthesis, assembly, released | 5 steps of the Lytic Cycle |
bacteria that recycle nutrients, produce antibiotic, and preserve food. Very few are harmful or cause disease. 1000nm | Procaryote |
cellular, selective permability: archaea,bacteria, and cyanobacteria. Do not have true nucleus, do have cell membrane | procaryotes |
Peritrichous bacteria | procaryotic and have flagella over entire surface |

reproduce by binary fission:cell spilts into 2 daughter cells but before chromosomesa must duplicate. | procaryotic cell reproduction |
Time it takes binary fission | generation time: varies depends on growth condition. E. coli about 20 min. but most bacteria 20-24hrs depending on enviroment. |
3 basic (based on shape): cocci(round), Bacilli (rod-shape), curved/ spiral | bacterial cell morphology |
Cocci | diplcocci-1 or2, Strepto-chain, staph-clusters,tetrads-4pack, octads 8 pack |
taxonomy established based on the binomial system of nomenclature. | Microbial classification. |
each given 2 names: genus and specific epithet. both constitute species. | binomial system |

2 types:loosly connected to cell wall highly organized and a firm connection. | Glycocalyx |
Pseudmonas produce slime layers, K.pneumonia,N.meningitidis, and S.pneumoniae posses capsule(serves as antiphagocytic function | Glycocalx (of the procaryotic cell structure) |

sequence for taxa | Kingdom, division,class,order, family,genus, species.KDCOFGS |
air dry, heat fix,hold over boiling water, apply malachite green over smear,let steam for 1min, rinse w/ distilled water(rinses stain out of vegative cells), apply safranin for 30 sec | spore stain procedure |
procaryotic, few genera(bacillus and clostridum)capable of forming thick-wall for survival, sporulation/ no rep,survive many yrs, resistant to heat, chemicals, cold and drying. | Spore (endospore) |
eucaryotic cell that does not have cell wall | animal cell |
have a simple cell wall | plant cell |
do not contain true nucleus, do not have membrane bound organelles. They do have cell membrane that encloses cytoplasm | procaryotic cells |
are dormant and surround DNA and allow resist to chem, heat and drying. composed of exosporium, spore coat, cortex,core(sporeproplast)- core wall, cytoplasm,nucleoid,ribosomes | endospores |
DNA duplicate, seperate into sporangium and forespore,sporangium engulf forespore then produce spore layer around forespore,cortex and outer coat layer divide, last a completely formed mature spore | endospore formation |
sporulation | nutrition depletion(maj stimulus),once depleted it is comitted to forming endospore and is now called sporulationg cell(sporagium) takes 6-10 hrs |
Why are endospores heat resistant? | presence of dipicolinic acid combined with calcium ions; which help dehydrate endospore. Also core contains small proteins that help protect DNA from drying and damage. |
How do you destroy a endospore? | temp @ least 112'C(autoclave) because they are resistant to drying, uv light, strong acids and bases |
to break dormancy of the endospore good condition for growth of cell is a must. Has to be a specific chemcal/ enviromental stimulus(amino acids/inorganic salt) along w/ inorganic salt. with water. | germination of endospore |
enzymes produced that degrade cortex and expose core to water, calcium dipicolinate is lost, core rehydrates, cell grows out of endospore coats. takes 1 1/2 hrs | germination |
