Prok cell walls
Maintain shape
Protect
Prevent bursting in hypotonic enviro
Archea
Asexual reproduction
Single circular dna
RNA and ribo protein more like euk than eubact
Common ancestor w euk
Plasma memb tolerates low pH and high heat
3 archea groups
Methanogens-use H2 to turn co2->ch4 strict anaerobics
Extreme halophile- high salinity(15-20%)
Extreme thermophiles-live in 60-80 C
Domain Bacteria eubacteria
Has forms of every mode nutrition
Single celled
Gram +
Thick layer petidoglycan outside plasma membrane
Gram -
Outer bilious membrane thin petidoglycan thin plasma membrane
Eubacteria shapes
Spheres (cocci)
Rods(bacilli)
Helices(spirilla)
Taxis
Directed movement to away from stimulus
Photo taxis etc
Pos=towards
Prok flagella
Solid protein
Oar not whip
Powered by proton diffusion
Bacterial structures
Pili-long appendages for DNA transfer
Frimbrae-short number out appendage for sticking
Capsule-gelatinous secretion proving adhesion and hydration
Prok impact on earth
Very few cause disease
Fixers/decomps essential in geo Chem cycles
Symbiotic w other prok and euk
M/c and chloroplasts may have descended from symb bact
