QuestionAnswer
What are the prokaryotes? Bacteria & Archaea
What are the eukaryotes? Eukarya
Evolution is descent with modification. What does that mean?
What is the three domain system? Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
What kingdoms do the Domain Eukarya include? Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, also Protists
What are the characteristics of the Bacteria domain? *Thermotoga *Gram(+) bacteria *Gram(-)bacteria *Chloroplast *Cyanobacteria *Mitochondria
What are the characteristics of the Archaea domain? *Hyperthermophiles *Methanogens *Extreme Halophiles
What are the characteristics of the Eukarya domain? *Archaezoa *Microspora *Plasmodial slime mold *Chromista *Euglenozoa *Ciliates *Plants *Amoebas *Oomycotes *Cellular slime molds *Fungi *Animals
Order of all systems? Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What makes up the Five Kingdom system? Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
What is the endosymbiotic theory? Origin of eukaryotes: A cell engulfed bacteria that had chloroplast and a bacteria with a mitochondria. This is why cells have chloroplast and mitchondrias.
What is the cell type of Archaea? Prokaryotic
What type of cell wall does Archaea have? Varies, but it contains NO peptidoglycan
What type of membrane lipid does Archaea have? It is composed of branched carbon chains attached to glycerol by ether linkage
What is the first Amino Acid in protein synthesis of the Archaea? Methionine
Does Archeae have antibiotic sensitivity? No.
Does Archaea have an rRNA loop? Lacking
Does Archaea have a common Arm of tRNA? Lacking
What cell type is a Bacteria? Prokaryotic
What type of cell wall does a bacteria have? It contains peptidoglycans
What type of membrane lipid does bacteria have? It is composed of a straight carbon chain attached to glycerol by ester linkage
What is the first AA in protein synthesis is in Bacteria? Formylmethionine
Does Bacteria have antibiotic sensitivity? Yes
Does Bacteria have rRNA loop? Yes, it is present
Does bacteria have a common arm of tRNA? Yes, it is present
What type of cell is a Eukarya? Eukaryotic
What type of cell wall does Eukarya have? Varies, it contains carbohydrates
What type of membrane lipid does Eukarya have? It is composed of straight carbon chains attached to glycerol by ester linkage
What is the first AA in protein synthesis of Eukarya? Methionine
Does Eukarya have antibiotic sensitivity? No.
Does Eukarya have an rRNA loop? Lacking.
Does eukarya have a common arm of tRNA? Yes, it is present
What is Taxonomy? It is the science of identifying, naming, and organizing living organisms into systems of classifications.
What does taxonomy provide? *Reference for identifying organisms *Universal names (nomenclature) for organisms *Organizes organism into categories
What does microbial taxonomy combine? Phenotypic and Genotypic
How would scientists classify an unknown species?
What is Phylogeny? It is the study of the evolutionary history of organisms
True or False: Each species retains some characteristics of its ancestor. True.
True or false: Grouping organisms according to common prop. implies that a group of organisms evolved from a common ancestor. True.
How can you identify organisms? Anatomy, fossils, analyzing DNA sequences.
In modern phylogeny, how are organisms classified? Classification is based on evolutionary relationships.
What are some requirements for use in sequence based evolutionary analysis?
What are candidate molecules? some proteins (tRNA synthetase) and ribosomal RNAs
Why is 16s RNA good to use in sequence based evolutionary analysis? *It is present in all cells and always has the same function. *It contains both rapidly and slowly evolving regions *horizontal transfer of rRNA genes does not occur
Why are fast and slow regions important? Fast regions are useful for determining closely-related species, and slow regions are useful for determining distant relationships
What is the Ribosomal database project (RDP)? It is a database that has about 2 million aligned 16s rRNA sequences available.
What are some useful references for species? International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology; Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology; Approved Lists of Bacterial Names
What is the International Journal of Systematic and evolutionary microbiology? It contains articles with evidence of new species or classification
What is the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology? It provides phylogenetic and identification information on bacteria and archaea
What is the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names? It is a list of known prokaryotes based on published articles
How much 16S rRNA sequences does RDP contain? ~2 million; ~7,000 are well-characterized species; 10,000 partially identified
What is the estimate of microbial species range? ~10^7-10^9
How much microbial species can we actually cultivate? Less than or equal to 1% of all microbial species
Estimates of marine environments. Surface water >10^5 cells/ml
Estimates of terrestrial environments. Surface soils >10^8 cells/g
How many species does 1 grain of soil contain? 1 g of soil contains ~20,000 species
What are some Proteobacterias? How many are there? 2086 species, acetic acid bacteria, Enteric Bacteria, and Vibrio
How many Firmicutes and Actinobacteria? 1421 Firmicutes and 1626 Actinobacteria
What are some Firmicutes? Nonsporulating, low GC, Gram+ bacteris: Lactic acid bacteria *Endospore forming, low GC, Gram+ bacteria: Bacillus(673),Clostridia(536) *Cell wall less, low GC, Gram+ bacteria: the Mycoplasmas
What are Actinobacterias? *High GC, Gram+ bacteria: Propionic acid bacteria *High GC, Gram+ bacteria: Mycobacteria Filamentous, high GC, Gram+ bacteria: Streptomyces
What are two other major groups of bacteria? Cyanobacteria and Deinococcus
Of what value is taxonomy and phylogeny?
What evidence supports classifying organisms into three domains?
Compare Archaea and Bacteria; Bacteria and Eukarya; and Archaea and Eukarya.
Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology
In the scientific name Staphylococcus aureus, Staph. is the
The wall-less mycoplasmas are considered to be related to gram+ bacteria. Which of the following would provide the most compelling evidence for this?
