Prokaryotes: 11

Prokaryotes: Domains Bacteria & Archaea

Escherica Gammaproteobacteria taxon
Streptococcus Lactobacillales taxon
Proteobacteria Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon taxons
Aerobic endospore-forming Bacillales taxon
Cells with axial filament Spirochaetes taxon
Oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria Cyanobacteria taxon
Acid-fast cells including Mycobacterium Actinobacteria taxon
Staphylococcus Bacillales taxon
Bacteria that cause botulism & tetanus Clostridiales taxon
Wall-less bacteria related to gram postive bacteria Mycoplasmatales taxon
Halobacterium halobium likely to be found in Great Salt Lake
bacteriorhodopsin protein used to generate a proton gradient
Archaea organisms that thrive in habitats that were common on the early Earth
Archaea & Bacteria Prokaryotes
Bacteria peptidoglycan walls, ester bonds in lipids
Archaea ether bonds in lipids
Archaea extreme halophiles, methanogens, thermoplasma, hyperthermophiles
Methanogens responsible for more methane production than humans in global ecology
Nucleus found in all eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes
archaea belonging organism Methanobacterium
Enterobacteriales Enterobacter, Escherichia, & Salmonella
Campylobacter Epsilonproteobacteria
Corynebacterium, Streptococcus & Staphylococcus Gram positive
Bordetella Gram negative
Purple non-sulfur, green sulfur, & green non-sulfur bacteria anoxygenic photosynthesis
Cyanobacteria oxygenic photosynthesis
Surface to volume ratio of cells affects ability to import necessary nutrients through diffusion & other membrane transport processes. larger the cell volume, the smaller the surface to volume ratio
Algae eukaryotic cells
Cyanobacteria prokaryotic cells
Listeria, Lactobacillus, & Streptococcus Gram positive bacteria
Salmonella, Pseudomonas, & Eschericha Gram negative bacteria
Azospirillus, Azotobacter, & Azomonas nitrogen fixing ability
Burkholderia frequent cause of nosocomical infections because it grows on some antiseptics
Escherichia polar flagella, aerobic, & oxidase-positive
Enterics facultatively anaerobic, gram negative rods found in the intestines of animals
must be able to grow at temperatures exceeding 80C Hyperthermophilic
Cyanobacteria not pathegenic for humans
Erwinia bacteria produce the enzyme pectinase causes disease in plants
Betaproteobacteria contain nitrifying bacteria(Nitrosomonas) but no nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Rickettsias different from most other bacteria because they are intracellular parasites
Leptospira, Treponema, & Borrelia Spirochaetes
Helicobacter Proteobacteria
Low G + C common in soil bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and several human pathogens
High G + C mycobacteria, corynebacteria, & actinomycetes
Microbial Diversity few of the total number of different prokaryotes have been isolated and identified approx 5000.
PCR can be used to uncover the presence of bacteria that can't be cultured in the laboratory
Cyanobacteria photoautotrophs that use light energy & CO2 & do produce O2
Chemoheterotrophic planctomycetes, chlamydiae, spirocheates, bacteroidetes, and fusobacteria
Purple & green photosynthetic bacteria photoautotrophs that use light energy & CO2 & do NOT produce O2
Epsilonproteobacteria Campylobacter & Helicobacter
Deltaproteobacteria Prey on other bacteria: Myxococcus & Bdellovibrio
Gammaproteobacteria Pseudomonadales, Legionellales, Vibrionales, Enterobacteriales, & Pasteurellales
Betaproteobacterica chemoautotrophs & chemoheterotrophs
Alphaproteobacteria nitrogen fixing bacteria, chemoautotrophs & chemoheterotrophs
Proteobacteria Gram Negative
Bergey's manual categorizes bacteria into taxa based on rRNA sequences, lists identifying characteristics
identifying characteristics gram stain reaction, cellular morphology, oxygen requirements, and nutritional properties
rRNA structural compontent of ribosome
Acetobacter xylinum produce acetic acid(vinegar), alcohol spoilage, aerobes
Pelagibacter ubique discovered by FISH technique 1354 genes, smallest genome of any free living organism extremely small 20% of prokaryotes in oceans .5% of all prokaryotes
Rickettsias motile, gram-negative, non-sporeforming, highly pleomorphic bacteria, obligates intracellular parasites(tissue/embryo culture), transmitteed to humans by bites of insects
Rickettsias prowazekii Epidemic typhus
Rickettsias rickettsia rocky mountain spotted fever
Alphaproteobacteria includes most proteobacteria, can grow at very low levels of nutrients
Stalks and other protrusions of bacterial cells prosthecae
over 500 species, commercial value as a source of antibiotics Streptomyces
Elementary bodies reproduction in Chlamydia, the bacterial cells are released from host cells
evolutionary loss of genetic material, ie mycoplasmas appear to have evolved from g+ bacteria that have lost the genes that encode enzymes for peptidoglycan production Degenerative evolution
enterics members of the order Enterobacteriales
Cyanobacteria changed Earth's atmosphere due to their production of oxygen
beta-hemolytic streptococi Steptococci that produce a hemolysin causing a clear zone around colonies grown on blood agar
Anoxygenic photosynthesis purple & green photosynthetic bacteria produce this, oxygen is not produced as a by-product

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
