Study Notes

Three Domain Classification System

Classification is based on ribosomal structural differences.
Viruses are excluded as they are acellular and lack a cellular structure.

Fossil Records

Oldest fossils, approximately 3.5 billion years old, are prokaryotic in nature.

Species Definition

Eukaryotic species are defined as closely related organisms capable of interbreeding.

Bacterial Classification Techniques

DNA fingerprinting, rRNA sequencing, and nucleic acid hybridization are techniques for bacterial classification.
Biochemical testing is NOT used for classification.

Identifying Bacteria

Serology is the method used to identify different bacterial strains.
The identification process begins with differential staining.

Genetic Analysis in Classification

Cladograms represent evolutionary relations among organisms.
Ribosomal RNA sequencing is crucial for understanding phylogenetic relationships.

Taxonomic Hierarchy

An order is a group of similar families.
A bacterial species is defined by shared characteristics rather than interbreeding.

Characteristics of Domains

Domain Archaea is characterized by organisms often found in extreme environments.
Bacteria are prokaryotic with ester-linked phospholipids.

Kingdom Characteristics

Fungi absorb organic matter through their cell walls and are non-photosynthetic.
Kingdom Plantae members can photosynthesize, while Kingdom Animalia members ingest organic matter.

Nucleic Acid Hybridization

The process relies on base pairing between complementary DNA strands.

Molecular Techniques

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is essential for amplifying microbial DNA for testing.
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is used to study uncultured microbes in their natural environment.

Genetic Relatedness

Close relatedness in organisms is indicated by similar DNA hybridization patterns.
Differences in G+C content can suggest unrelatedness between organisms.

Classification and Nomenclature

Taxonomy categorizes organisms highlighting similarities and differences for systematic understanding.
Historically, organisms that did not fit established kingdoms were classified in the kingdom Protista.

Cloning and Molecular Profiling

Clones consist of genetically identical cells from a single original cell.
DNA sequencing provides insights into nucleotide bases for identification and classification.

Mycoplasmas

Mycoplasmas lack cell walls and are closely related to Gram-positive bacteria based on rRNA sequences.

Cellular Structures

Structures like 70S ribosomes and plasma membranes are found in all three domains.
Structures like peptidoglycan are exclusive to prokaryotes and not found in eukaryotic cells.
