**Chapter 5: The Eukaryotes of Microbiology** \*Use this outline as a guide to follow along in lecture. Be sure to fill in the blanks as we progress through the presentation\* I. **Eukaryotic Microbes** - This is a very diverse group - Have different: - [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] -- some are multicellular while others are unicellular - [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] - [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] II. **Protozoans** - "Animal-like" protists - **[\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_],** motile organisms that are always [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] - Inhabit both [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] and [\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_] - Can be free-living or parasitic, carrying out a life-cycle within a host or hosts, and can cause illness - Some do sexual reproduction while others do asexual reproduction. Some can do both - Typical life cycle: - **[\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_]:** Feeding and growth, reproduction, motile - **[Cyst]: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** - Can also be beneficial by providing metabolic services to their hosts - **What kind of symbiotic relationship is this? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** IJERPH \| Free Full-Text \| Protozoan Parasites in Drinking Water: A System Approach for Improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Developing Countries \| HTML \*\*Be sure to know which are cysts and which are trophozoites in the picture! - Structure - Plasma membrane -- **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** - Cytoplasm: two distinct layers that contribute to the cell shape - **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_:** outer gel layer - **Endoplasm**: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ - Specialized feeding structures - **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_:** organelles that can be used to move water out of the cell for osmotic regulation (salt and water balance) ![a) Paramecium cell with short strands on the outside labeled cilia. An indent in the outer layer is labeled cytostome. A sphere inside the cell at the base of the cytostome is labeled cytoproct. A star shaped structure inside the cell is labeled contractile vacuole. B) Amoeba cell with projections on the outside labeled pseudopods. The outer layer of the cell is labeled ectoplasm and the inner layer is labeled endoplasm. A sphere inside the cell is labeled contractile vacuole. C) Euglena with a single long flagellum on the outside. The outer layer of the cell is labeled etoplasm, the inner layer is labeled endoplasm. A star shaped structure is labeled contractile vacuole.](media/image2.jpeg) - **Amoeba Pathogens** - ***Entamoeba histolytica**:* Primary cause of **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** - Parasite - **Causes \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** - Infects 50 million people worldwide - Can enter the blood stream and enter the liver - Spreads through contaminated \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ - ***Naegleria fowleri**:* "\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_" - Causes \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ - ![](media/image4.jpeg)Lives in freshwater - Not a usual human pathogen - Enters through the nose - **Flagella Pathogens** - ***Giardia lamblia**:* - **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**: Diarrheal illness transmitted through contaminated water - Diarrhea, gas, greasy stool, abdominal cramps - The most common \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ - ![](media/image6.png)***Trichomonas vaginalis:*** - Common \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ - Causes trichomoniasis which is often asymptomatic in men, but can still be transmitted. - In women, causes vaginal discomfort (itching and burning) and discharge.
