BIOLOGY POWER POINT NOTES
CHAPTER 28 DIVERSITY OF MICROORGANISMS- BACTERIA
1) PROKARYOTES: World of bacteria





Cyanobacteria: photosynthesizing bacteria
Rickettsiae: tiny bacteria-transmitted by ticks
Chylamdia: smaller than the above, STD
Mycoplasmas: naked, smallest bacteria

2) EUKARYOTES: -single-celled (microorganisms)
 EXAMPLES:
-protozoa
-unicellular algae
(Dinoflagellates; diatoms)
-yeasts

Bacteria-the most abundant organisms on earth
 Biomass far exceeds mass of all animals+ planets on Earth
 Roles in nature: great scavengers; recycling of C, N, O, and other
elements
 Diverse forms & in diverse environments

The Shapes and Arrangements
of Bacteria
 Bacilli have a cylindrical shape
 Cocci form a variety of arrangements

Flagellar Arrangement





Four types:
Monotrichous
Lophotrichous
Amphitrichous
Peritrichous

Bacteria Diseases








Sore throat, pharyngitis, sinusitis
Tuberculosis
Cholera
Food poisoning, bloody dysentery
Pneumonia
Meningitis
Ulcer
Viruses are the smallest microorganisms
 Acellular: Living or nonliving?
 No growth
 No metabolic activities
 No observable activity
 Only replicate (within host cells)

Made up of
 DNA or RNA-core
 Packed in the protein shell or coat
DNA viruses: Herpes, Hepatitis B, common cold, smallpox virus
RNA viruses: HIV, influenza, SARS, Hepatitis C, Measles, Mumps, Ebola Virus

Viral Diseases








Common cold, flu, bird flu, swine flu
AIDS
Smallpox Herpes
Polio, Hepatitis A; Hepatitis B; Hepatitis C
Encephalitis
Pneumonia; SARS
HPV infection & cervical cancer

INFLUENZA & COLDS
 The flu is caused by the influenza virus, while colds are caused by
rhinoviruses
 The symptoms of flu include fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting
 While the common cold is endemic, flu outbreaks may be epidemic or
pandemic

How influenza virus changes?
 Antigenic drift – the small changes that make the virus more
virulent-a cause of local epidemic
 Antigenic shift-large changes because of mixing 0f two strains in
a common host
 Fear of Avian influenza pandemic human population is not
previously exposed to new viruses

Swine Flu





Known as 2009 H1N1 type A influenza
A human disease-respiratory tract condition
People get the diseases from other people, not from pigs
...

 Current “swine flu” outbreak caused by a new swine flu
virus- that changed-to spread from person-to-person
 H1N1 swine flu is not the usual “drift variant” of H1N1
 It comes to humans from a different line of evolution
