Microbial Groups

Microorganisms can be broadly categorized into eucaryotic and procaryotic cells, each with distinct characteristics and replication methods. Eucaryotic cells, such as yeast and fungi, replicate through budding and sporulation, forming smaller or multiple spores.

Microbial Groups

MICROBIAL GROUPS

General Considerations of Microbial Features

cell behaviour
phototaxis

photoreceptors --> respond to change in light intensity

photoreceptors & photosynthetic pigments

control the localized distributions of organism in habitats

move toward or away from light

chemotaxis

towards favourab;e chemical environment

eucaryotics microbes

sexual attractants for sexual reproductions

if occur, morecomlicated e.g slime molds

for 'social lives" eg cellular lime molds --> scarcity of food --> release chemical --> attract to frm assemblages of many cells

rare among fungi, protozoa and algae

bacterial chemotaxis

presence of chemoreceptores

chemoreceptors: proteins on cell wall /membrane

function:

to sence its concentrations

bacteria --> sence concentration through gardient of repellent/ attractants

summary: favourable concentration of gradient --> tumbling is supressed and vice versa

movement in decreased concentarion of repellant

pathlength of runs increases, frequency of tumbles decreases

movement in increased concentartion of repellant

pathlength of runs decreased, frequency of tumbles increases

movements in decreased concentration of attractants

pathlebgth of runs decreased, frequency of tumbles increased

movements inincreased concentrations of attractants

pathlenght of length increased, frequency of tumbles decreases

movement in isotrophic solution of attractant

swims for short periodin straight lines, tumbles & resumes swimming in different straightlines. similar pathlength

to sence presence /absence of attravtants/repellents

-ve: chemoreceptors: repellants

+ve chemoreceptors : attractants

cell nutrition
major elements required : C,H, N O P, S
determine microbe's habitat
microbial cell replication

method

sporulation

eg: fungi --. smaller than parent cell, many spores at one cycle

budding

eg: yeast --> smaller buds compare to maximum buds = 20

separation of daughter cells --> autolytic enzymes

new cells --> uniform in size

smaller in size , shorter generation time

microbial cell structure
motility

eucaryotic cells ( algae, protozoa, fungi, zoospores)

major by using falgellum, cilia,amoeboid movements

major by using flagellum

surface layers

rigidation

less osmotic damage

penetration of host tissue and other substrates

prevent phagocytosis 7 amoeboid movements

synthesis & lysis at septal region of dividing cells --> determine formations of chains /clumps

components of cell walls --> determine surface properties of ce;ll walls

peptidoglycan --> site of action of penicillin

determine

resistants to osmotic stress

shapes

eg cell walls

cell membrane

eucaryotic cells (ptotozoa)

ingoing activity

organism wiyhout rigid cell wall --> invagination of cell membrane

outgoing axtivuty

outer cell membrane fused with membrane systems within the cell

procaryotic cells

site of energy-yielding terminal respiratory system

semi-permeable

importance

site of nutrient, ion, & protontranslocating systems

maintaining levels of nutrients metabolites. slats, pH in the internal evironment

permeability properties

genetic informations

eucaryotic cells

recombinant process: mainlty sexual reproduction

mitosis and meiosis --> daughter cells have correct coplement of genetic info

transcription --> migration of mRNA into cytoplams --> translation

enclosed by membrane

DNA bound to basic proteins

procaryotic cells

recombinant process: conjugation, transduction

part of the genome is transfered

transcription & tarnslations, protein synthesis can occur simultaneously

single closed loops of dsDNA

lying free in the cells

microbial size
effect on microbial size on velocity of cells

startegy larger organism to counteract tendency to fall

eg: flagellated algae -swimming upwards

clumps --> settle more raidly

smaller organism - suspension

larger organism, settle > rapidly

disadvantages of larger sizes

reduce activity related to cell membrane

reduce ratio of surface to volume ratio

advantages of larger cell sizes

motile organism --> greater speed attained

gerater storage of food materials

greater adaptability

Main topic

Range of Microorganism

viruses

biological walfare

mostly disease causing in human, animals & plants

eq HIV, smallpox, herpes simplex

viral replication

utilize host machinery & metabolism to reproduce

steps

release = assembled viruses are releaed

asembly = newly synthesized viral components are assembled

replication = virus induces host cell to synthesize components for its replications

penetration = nucleic acid of the virus moves into cytoplasm of host cells

attachment/ absorption = virus attached ti receptors on host cell walls

inability to carry out cell division as procaryotes and eucaryotes

inability to reproduce independent of cells

presence of either DNA or RNA

cannot replicate outside the cells
