Introduction to Microbiology

What is Microbiology? ❚ The study of organisms usually too small to see with the naked eye

How small is small?

²Requires a microscope

❚ Microorganisms include: ²Bacteria, Archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, viruses, and some animal parasites 5

Why do we care about microbes?

How microorganisms are named (Binomial nomenclature)

❚ Some can make us sick (germs) ❚ Most are beneficial ²Important part of food chain: photosynthesis to decomposition (rot) ²Found in our bodies (probiotics) ²Fermentation: cheese, yogurt, wine, beer, vinegar, bread ²Pharmaceuticals and medicine

6

❚ Two names: Genus and species ²Always italicized or underlined

❚ Genus name: ²Always capitalized ²Usually a noun

❚ Species name:

7

²Always lower case ²Usually an adjective, sometimes a proper noun

Introduction to Microbiology

All living organisms are either prokaryotes or eukaryotes

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes ❚ Prokaryotes are either bacteria or archaea

❚ Refers to arrangement of genetic material (DNA) in cells

²All are single-celled organisms ²Most are much smaller (100 - 1000X smaller) than eukaryotic cells

- karyote means “before” nucleus ² Eu - karyote means “true” nucleus ² Pro

❚ Prokaryotes have DNA spread throughout cytoplasm ❚ Eukaryotes have DNA within a membrane bounded nucleus

❚ Eukaryotes are everything else: Fungi, protistans, plants and animals ²Can be either single- or multi-celled organisms 9

Size Comparison of two prokaryotes & a eukaryote ❚ Prokaryotes ²Epulopiscium: 700 µm ²Escherichia coli: 0.5 - 2 µm

❚ Eukaryote Bacterial cell on left is 1000X smaller than eukaryotic cell on right

²Paramecium: 50 µm 11

Introduction to Microbiology

Are viruses living?

Why are viruses nonliving? ❚ Noncellular ²Composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat

Bacterial Virus (T4)

Animal Virus (Ebola)

❚ No metabolic capabilities ❚ Cannot reproduce independently ❚ No ability to regulate or respond to environment

Important Historical Events: 1600's & 1700's

Complex organization composed of cells Ability to grow and develop Ability to convert energy for own use Ability to reproduce genetically similar offspring

❚ Development of the Microscope ²Animicules visualized

²Presence of genetic material: DNA & RNA

❚ Discovery of immunization & vaccines

❚ Ability to regulate internal environment (homeostasis) ❚ Ability to respond to environmental stimulus 15
