Movie Gallery Bacteria Cell Structure They are as unrelated to human beings as living things can be, but bacteria are essential to human life and life on planet Earth. Although they are notorious for their role in causing human diseases, from tooth decay to the Black Plague, there are beneficial species that are essential to good health. For example, one species that lives symbiotically in the large intestine manufactures vitamin K, an essential blood clotting factor. Other species are beneficial indirectly. Bacteria give yogurt its tangy flavor and sourdough bread its sour taste. They make it possible for ruminant animals (cows, sheep, goats) to digest plant cellulose and for some plants, (soybean, peas, alfalfa) to convert nitrogen to a more usable form. Bacteria are prokaryotes, lacking well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, and with chromosomes composed of a single closed DNA circle. They come in many shapes and sizes, from minute spheres, cylinders and spiral threads, to flagellated rods, and filamentous chains. They are found practically everywhere on Earth and live in some of the most unusual and seemingly inhospitable places. Evidence shows that bacteria were in existence as long as 3.5 billion years ago, making them one of the oldest living organisms on the Earth. Even older than the bacteria are the archeans (also called archaebacteria) tiny prokaryotic organisms that live only in extreme environments: boiling water, super-salty pools, sulfur-spewing volcanic vents, acidic water, and deep in the Antarctic ice. Many scientists now believe that the archaea and bacteria developed separately from a common ancestor nearly four billion years ago. Millions of years later, the ancestors of today's eukaryotes split off from the archaea. Despite the superficial resemblance to bacteria, biochemically and genetically, the archea are as different from bacteria as bacteria are from humans.

Description and Significance Nitrospira are nitrite-oxidizing bacteria that are important in marine habitats. In aquariums, for example, if the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate cycle is thrown off, the ecosystems suffers and fish can get sick or die. Therefore, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria as well as the other bacteria in this system are important for healthy marine ecosystems. In addition, Nitrospira -like bacteria are the main nitrite oxidizers in wastewater treatment plants and in laboratory scale reactors, not Nitrobacter sp., as was previously thought. Genome Structure Projects to sequence the genome of Nitrospira -like organisms are being undertaken by organizations such as the University of Vienna: Institute of Ecology and Conservation Biology , in order to analyze the nitrite-oxidizing mechanisms and the Nitrospira ability to compete with other nitrite-oxidizing bacteria.

The "BIOLOGY OF" Video Programs THE MICROLIFE UNIT: These new video programs examine the lives of organisms that create a basis for life on planet Earth. Guided by clear narrative, students can visualize the early events in cell evolution that made possible today's complex living world. State-of-the-art imaging, combined with beautiful animations, show structure and behavior that must be seen to be understood. The Light Microscope teaches students the basics of using a microscope, and then shows them how to use the light source, condenser, iris diaphram, and different objectives, to get the most out of viewing through the microscope. Students also learn simple methods to create dark field lighting and colored-field lighting as well as polarized light microscopy that will greatly increase their microscopy skills and viewing. The program provides clear examples and beautiful photomicroscopy that will inspire students to build and improve their microscopy skills The Biology of Viruses introduces these strange parasitic entitieslittle more than packages of genetic information that subvert cells into producing more viruses. This program presents: the discovery of viruses, their structures, how they are studied, and their various modes of infection and replication from the T-4 bacteriaphage to complex retroviruses such as HIV.

var depth = '../../'; // location of pix directory, i.e. '' or '', etc. sitePreloads(depth); // located in shared.js Home Channel Video Catalog About Us ... Genetically Modified Organisms Archaea and Bacteria As reviewed in "Evolution and Phylogenetics," living organisms can be grouped into three domains: the Archaea, the Bacteria, and the Eukarya . Members of Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotes: single-celled organisms lacking true nuclei and other membrane-enclosed organelles. Bacteria and archaea, however, differ in cell wall characteristics and membrane lipid composition. They also differ in RNA polymerase structure and, therefore, protein synthesis. Many extremophiles (organisms that tolerate high or low temperature, high salinity, or extreme pH) fall within the Archaea. Some archaea, the extreme halophiles (salt lovers), tolerate salt concentrations as high as nearly ten times that of seawater. methanogenic archaea live in anoxic sediments in marshes and are used in sewage treatment facilities. Another archaean, Methanobrevibacter smithii , lives and generates methane in the human colon.

Forum Tutorials Dictionary Directory ... B bacteria bacteria (Science: microbiology) One of the two major classes of prokaryotic organism (the other being the Cyanobacteria ). Bacteria are small linear dimensions of around 1 m), noncompartmentalised, with circular DNA and ribosomes of 70S. Protein synthesis differs from that of eukaryotes and many antibacterial antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis , but do not affect the infected host . Recently bacteria have been subdivided into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria , although some would consider the Archaebacteria to be a third kingdom , distinct from both Eubacteria and Eukaryotes. The Eubacteria can be further subdivided on the basis of their staining using Gram stain . Since the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative depends upon a fundamental difference in cell wall structure it is therefore more soundly based than classification on gross morphology alone (into cocci bacilli , etc.). (microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission; important as pathogens and for biochemical properties; taxonomy is difficult; often considered plants. A broad grouping of organisms that consist mostly of unicellular organisms. Many bacteria are responsible for disease due to their parasitic lifestyle.

Soil Bacteria and Actinomycetes What They Are and A Few Interesting Facts Bacteria are common throughout the soil, but tend to be most abundant in or adjacent to plant roots, an important food source. Actinomycetes are a broad group of bacteria that form thread-like filaments in the soil. They are responsible for the distinctive scent of freshly exposed, moist soil. Why They Are Important Bacteria are important in the carbon cycle. They contribute carbon to the system by fixation (photosynthesis) and decomposition. Bacteria are important decomposers in grassland environments. Actinomycetes are particularly effective at breaking down tough substances like cellulose (which makes up the cell walls of plants) and chitin (which makes up the cell walls of fungi) even under harsh conditions, such as high soil pH. Some management activities, particularly those that change nutrient levels in the soil, can shift the dominance of decomposers from bacterial to fungal. When one group becomes dominant where it shouldn't be, there is also a shift in the rest of the system. The shift from bacterial to fungal dominance, for instance, can enhance the conditions favoring weed invasions on rangelands. Bacteria are particularly important in nitrogen cycling. Free-living bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen, adding it to the soil nitrogen pool. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria form associations with the roots of leguminous plants such as lupine, clover, alfalfa, and milkvetches. Actinomycetes form associations with some non-leguminous plants (important species are bitterbrush, mountain mahogany, cliffrose, and ceanothus) and fix nitrogen, which is then available to both the host and other plants in the near vicinity. Some soil nitrogen is unusable by plants until bacteria convert it to forms that can be easily assimilated.

The Biology Project Cell Biology PEV Prokaryotes Prokaryotes Characteristics of prokaryotic cells. As mentioned in the previous page, prokaryotes include the kingdoms of Monera (simple bacteria) and Archaea. Simply stated, prokaryotes are molecules surrounded by a membrane and cell wall. Prokaryotic cells lack characteristic eukaryotic subcellular membrane enclosed "organelles", but may contain membrane systems inside a cell wall. Prokaryotic cells may have photosynthetic pigments, such as is found in cyanobacteria ("blue bacteria"). Some prokaryotic cells have external whip-like flagella for locomotion or hair like pili for adhesion. Prokaryotic cells come in multiple shapes: cocci (round), baccilli (rods), and spirilla or spirochetes (helical cells). Pseudomonas bacteria The cell wall is the target for antibiotics, as well as for carbohydrates that our immune system uses to detect infection. A major threat to humankind is the antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria have been selected by overuse of antibiotics.
