Endospores• stressed cell
• undergoes asymmetrical cell division• creating small prespore and larger
mother cell• prespore contains:
Cytoplasm DNA dipicolinic acid
• mother cell matures the prespore into an endospore
• then disintegrates• environmental conditions are again
favorable• protective layers break down • spore germinates into a vegetative
cell

3. pH
The pH Scale Ranges from 0 - 14 pH below 7 is acidic
[H+] > [OH-]
pH above 7 is alkaline [OH-] > [H+]
pH of 7 is neutral [H+] = [OH-]
![Page 53: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

4. Osmotic Pressure Bacteria 80% water
Require water to grow Sufficiently hypertonic media at concentrations
greater than those inside the cell cause water loss from the cell Osmosis Fluid leaves the bacteria causing the cell to contract
Causes the cell membrane to separate Plasmolysis
Cell shrinkage extreme or obligate halophiles
Adapted to and require high salt concentrations
![Page 55: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
5. UV Light
Great for killing bacteria Damages the DNA
(making little breaks) in sufficient quantity can kill
the organisms in a lower range causes
mutagenisis Endospores tend to be
resistant can survive much longer
exposures
![Page 56: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
6. Barophiles
Bacteria that grow at moderately high hydrostatic pressures Oceans membranes and enzymes
depend on pressure to maintain their three-dimensional, functional shape
Barotolerants Grows at pressures from 100-
500 Atm Barophilic
400-500 Extreme barophilic
Higher than 500
![Page 57: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Microbial Associations Symbiotic
organisms live in close nutritional relationships; Mutualism
Obligatory Dependent Both members benefit
Commensalism One member benefits Other member not harmed
Parasitism Parasite is dependent and benefits Host is harmed
![Page 58: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Microbial Associations
Non-symbiotic organisms are free-livingrelationships not required for survival
Synergism members cooperate and share nutrients
Antagonism some member are inhibited or destroyed by others
![Page 59: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Microbial Associations
Biofilms Complex relationships
among numerous microorganisms
Develop an extracellular matrix
Adheres cells to one another
Allows attachment to a substrate
Sequesters nutrients May protect individuals in
the biofilm

Microbial Growth in Bacteria Binary fission:
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually
one cell becomes two basis for population growth
Process: parent cell enlarges duplicates its chromosome forms a central septum
divides the cell into two daughter cells
![Page 61: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Population Growth
Generation / doubling time time required for a complete
fission cycle Length of the generation time
is a measure of the growth rate of an organism
Some populations can grow from a small number of cells to several million in only a few hours!!

Prokaryotic Growth Bacterial Growth Curve
• lag phase• no cell division occurs while bacteria adapt to their new
environment• logarithmic (log) phase
• Exponential growth of the population occurs • Human disease symptoms usually develop
• stationary phase• When reproductive and death rates equalize
• decline (exponential death) phase• accumulation of waste products and scarcity of resources

Prokaryotic Genomes
Prokaryotic chromosomes Main portion of DNA, along
with associated proteins and RNA
Prokaryotic cells are haploid (single chromosome copy)
Typical chromosome is circular molecule of DNA in nucleoid

DNA Replication in Prokaryotes
![Page 71: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Genetic Recombination in Prokaryotes Genetic recombination
occurs when an organism acquires and expresses genes that originated in another organism
Genetic information in prokaryotes can be transferred vertically and horizontally Vertical gene transfer (VGT)
transfer of genetic material from parent cell to daughter cell
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) transfer of DNA from a donor cell to
a recipient cell Three types
Bacterial conjugation Transformation Transduction
![Page 72: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
DNA Recombination Events
3 means for exogenous genetic recombination in bacteria:
1. Conjugation
2. Transformation
3. Transduction
![Page 73: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Transmission of Exogenous Genetic Material in Bacteria
conjugation requires the attachment of two related species & formation of a bridge that can transport DNA
transformation transfer of naked DNA
transduction DNA transfer mediated by bacterial virus
![Page 74: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
1. Conjugation transfer of a plasmid or chromosomal fragment from
a donor cell to a recipient cell via direct connection Gram-negative
cell donor has a fertility plasmid (F plasmid, F′ factor) allows the synthesis of a conjugation (sex) pilus
recipient cell is a related species or genus without a fertility plasmid
donor transfers fertility plasmid to recipient through pilus
F+ and F-

2. Transformation chromosome fragments from a
lysed cell are accepted by a recipient cell genetic code of DNA fragment is
acquired by recipient
Donor and recipient cells can be unrelated
Useful tool in recombinant DNA technology
![Page 78: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Transformation of Insulin Gene human insulin gene isolated and cut from its
location on the human chromosome using a restriction enzyme
plasmid is cut using the same restriction enzyme desired DNA (insulin gene) and plasmid DNA can
be joined using DNA ligase plasmid now contains the genetic instructions on
how to produce the protein insulin Bacteria can be artificially induced to take up the
recombinant DNA plasmids and be transformed successfully transformed bacteria will contain
the desired insulin gene transformed bacteria containing the insulin gene
can be isolated and grown As transformed bacteria grow they will produce
the insulin proteins coded for the recombinant DNA Insulin harvested and used to treat diabetes

3. Transduction DNA is transferred from one
bacterium to another by a virus
Bacteriophages Virus that infects bacteria consist of an outer protein
capsid enclosing genetic material
serves as a carrier of DNA from a donor cell to a recipient cell
![Page 80: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Other ways genetics can change:
Transposons Mutations
![Page 81: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Transposons Special DNA segments that have the
capability of moving from one location in the genome to another “jumping genes”
Can move from one chromosome site to anotherr chromosome to a plasmid plasmid to a chromosome
May be beneficial or harmful Changes in traits Replacement of damaged DNA Transfer of drug resistance
![Page 82: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Mutations Result of natural
processes or induced Spontaneous mutations
heritable changes to the base sequence in DNA
result from natural phenomena such as radiation or uncorrected errors in replication
UV light is a physical mutagen that creates a dimer that cannot be transcribed properly
![Page 83: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Nitrous acid is a chemical mutagen that converts adenine bases to hypoxanthine Hypoxanthine base pairs with cytosine instead of thymine
Base analogs bear a close resemblance to nitrogenous bases and can cause replication errors
![Page 84: Bacterial Classification, Anatomy, Nutrition, Growth, Metabolism and Genetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56814c3e550346895db943ba/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Result of spontaneous or induced mutations
affects just one base pair in a gene
Base-pair substitutions result in an incorrect base in
transcribed mRNA codons Base-pair deletion or
insertion results in an incorrect
number of bases
Point Mutation
