Study Notes
Characteristics of Bacteria
- Bacteria are microscopic organisms that can survive in various environments or ecological habitats.
- They are typically prokaryotes and can live in complex and stressful environments.
- They have two protective coverings: the outer cell wall and inner cell membrane.
- Most bacteria are unicellular and can exhibit both autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.
Morphology of Bacteria
- Bacteria can have different shapes, including:
- Rod-shaped (e.g., Bacillus)
- Comma-shaped (e.g., Vibrio)
- Spiral
Structure of Bacteria Cell
- The cell membrane is made of complex peptidoglycan and covers the cell membrane.
- The cell wall is present in all prokaryotic organisms (bacteria) and:
- Protects and gives shape to the cell
- Is composed of peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharides, and some proteins
- The plasma membrane is present below the cell wall and is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Reproduction
- Bacteria reproduce by binary fission.
- Under ideal conditions, some bacteria can reproduce in as little as 20 minutes.
- One bacterium can become two bacteria.
Beneficial and Harmful Aspects of Bacteria
- Bacteria are divided into numerous groups, including:
- Pathogenic bacteria (cause disease)
- Non-pathogenic bacteria (do not cause disease)
- Examples of diseases caused by bacteria include:
- Cholera (Vibrio cholerae)
- Salmonella typha
- Tetanus (Clostridium tetani)
- Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
Specific Types of Bacteria
- Azore bacteria: fix atmospheric nitrogen in soil
- Lactobacillus: ferment lactose to lactic acid
- Streptomyces: produce streptomycin (antibiotics) for treatment of infectious diseases
- Methanogenic bacteria: used in sewage treatment
Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae)
- These are photosynthetic bacteria that form blue-green algae.
- They are found in soil, fresh water, and salty water.
- They are unicellular and important in the food chain.
- They produce a major share of oxygen in the atmosphere and serve as food for fish.
Structure of Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae)
- The cell wall has 2-3 layers and is composed of polysaccharide and mucopeptide.
- The plasma membrane is selective and permeable.
- The mucilaginous layer provides protection to the protoplasm cells against environmental factors.
- The cytoplasm contains structures such as lamellae, which contain pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids, xanthophyll).
- The nucleoplasm contains a nucleolus or maternal structure that stores a fibrillar structure.
