Spherical VIRUSES AND PROTIST Helical MICROBIOLOGY Complex Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, Structure of a Virus archaea, fungi and protozoa. it has a protein shell called capsid it has Microorganisms genetic material inside the capsid in a form of DNA or RNA. entirety of the genetic Microbes are tiny living things that are material is called genome. found all around us and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They play critical Structure of a Virus roles invarious ecosystems and have a significant impact on our lives. some viruses have special enzymes or have an outer envelope Both have important Bacteria roles sa viral replication. Viruses WHAT IS AN OBLIGATE Archaea PARASITE? Fungi Obligate Parasites Protozoa An obligate parasite depends completely on the host for its habitat, nourishment, WHAT IS A VIRUS? reproduction, and survival. Virus a microscopic infectious agent that Viruses are obligate parasites that need a can only replicate inside the living cells of host cell to replicate. an organism it is not cell and aren't classified as a living thing sometimes They cannot live independently outside of a classified as non living host organism Common Colds ObligateParasites examples Antibiotics - Bacteria Toxoplasma gondii Antifungal - Fungi (Toxoplasmosis Parasite) Plasmodium Structure of a Virus (Malaria Parasite) measured in nanometer range in size 20nm VIRAL REPLICATION to 250-400nm TYPES OF VIRAL REPLICATION Structure of a Virus Viral Replication is a fascinating process Polyhedral essential for the survival and spread of viruses. Lytic Cycle Stressfull Conditions - If the host cell encounters stressful conditions, it might Lysogenic Cycle activate the prophage as a last resort to replicate and potentially find a new host. TYPES OF VIRAL REPLICATION Chemical Triggers - Certain chemicals, like Lytic Cycle Replication mitomycin C, can artificially induce the lytic cycle. In Lytic Replication, the hijacks the host cells machinery to produce new viral Roles of Enzymes particles rapidly Entry - enzymes that can break down the Lytic Cycle of Viral Replication host cell wall, allowing the viral genome to enter. 1.Attachment: The virus attaches to the Replication host cell's surface. Uncoating - enzymes that help shed their capsid (protein shell) to expose their genetic 2.Entry: The virus enters the host cell. material. 3.Uncoating: The virus releases its genetic Replication -enzymes are essential for copying the viral genetic material to create material inside the host cell. new viral particles. 4.Replication & Transcription: The viral Roles of Enzymes genetic material replicates and transcribes to produce new viral components. Modifying Host Environment - enzymes that can manipulate the host cell' s environment 5.Assembly: New viral components to their advantage. assemble to form complete viruses. Immune Evasion - enzymes that help them evade the host' s immune system. 6.Release: The newly formed viruses burst out of the host cell to infect other cells. Assembly and Release - enzymes that help package the newly synthesized viral Lysogenic Cycle of Viral Replication genomes into new capsids. Enzymes might be involved in the process of bursting the In the lysogenic cycle of viral replication, the host cell to release the new virus particles. virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA without causing immediate Roles of Envelope harm. Attachment and Entry - envelope plays a Lysogenic Cycle of Viral Replication vital role in helping the virus attach to host cells. The envelope provides some degree Lysogenic into Lytic Cycle of protection for the virus as it travels outside the host cell. Common Triggers Fusion - Once attached, the viral envelope DNA Damage - Events that damage the fuses with the host cell membrane. host cell's DNA can trigger the prophage to enter the lytic cycle. respiratory viral disease include: Roles of Envelope ·runny or stuffy nose Protection - The envelope provides some ·coughing or sneezing degree of protection ·fever for the virus as it travels outside the host cell. ·body aches Immune System Evasion - Some viruses Common Viral Diseases and can leverage the Transmission Mechanisms: envelope to evade the host' Gastrointestinal Diseases: s immune system.
