Study Notes
Bacterial Reproduction
- Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, which is a process of dividing into two equal daughter cells
Bacterial Structures
- Bacteria are enclosed in cell walls typically composed of peptidoglycan
- Bacillus is a bacterial shape that is rod shaped
- Coccus is a bacterial shape that is spherical or ovoid
Bacterial Growth
- Prokaryotic cells are about 10x smaller than eukaryotic cells
- Bacteria like Escherichia coli can grow exponentially from just one cell to 1 million cells in less than 7 hours under ideal conditions
Archaea
- Archaea are prokaryotic organisms, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
- Archaea are considered extremophiles as they are among the simplest, most primitive forms of life
- Archaea have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan
- Archaea live in extreme conditions, such as extreme halophiles, hyperthermophiles, and methanogens
Bacterial Flagella
- Monotrichous bacteria have a single flagellum
- Peritrichous bacteria have flagella distributed over the entire cell
- Bacterial Structure - all prokaryotes have a nucleoid, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane.Most bacteria also have a cell wall and some are further enveloped by a capsule or slime layer, also known as glycocalyx
Arrangement of Bacterial Cells
- Arrangement of cells is a stable, genetically determined trait of a bacterial species.
- Streptococci are cocci that remain attached in chains patterns.
- Bacilli are rod shaped organisms.
- Bacilli that are short and stumpy and appear ovoid are referred to as coccobacilli
- Spirochetes are helical and flexible, they are a type of spiral shaped bacteria.
- Monomorphic bacteria are bacteria that maintain a single shape.
