27.1
Motility
-
The flagella of prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in structure, mechanism of propulsion, and molecular composition
-
-
Cell-Surface Structures
The cell wall maintains cell shape, protects the cell, and prevents it from bursting in a hypotonic environment
Most bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan, a network of sugar polymers cross-linked by polypeptides
-
-
-
-
Reproduction
Prokaryotes reproduce quickly by binary fission and can divide every 1–3 hours under optimal conditions
-
27.2
-
Genetic Recombination
Prokaryotic DNA from different individuals can be brought together by transformation, transduction, and conjugation
-
Genetic recombination, the combining of DNA from two sources, contributes to diversity
Conjugation and Plasmids
In bacteria, the DNA transfer is always one way

Proteobacteria
-
-
-
Subgroup
Alpha Proteobacteria
Scientists hypothesize that mitochondria evolved from aerobic alpha proteobacteria through endosymbiosis
-
-
-
Gamma Proteobacteria
Some heterotrophs are pathogenic, such as Legionella, Salmonella, and Vibrio cholerae
-
-
-
Epsilon Proteobacteria
-
Examples include Campylobacter, which causes blood poisoning, and Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach ulcers
-
Delta Proteobacteria
Example: bdellovibrios, which mount high-speed attacks on other bacteria
Fruiting bodies of Chondromyces crocatus, a myxobacterium (SEM)
Example: the slime-secreting myxobacteria, which produces drought-resistant “myxospores”

tabel 27.2
-
Spirochetes
-
Some are parasites, including Treponema pallidum
-
-
27.3
Nitrogen Metabolism
-
For example, some prokaryotes convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3) in a process called nitrogen fixation
-
Metabolic Cooperation
In the cyanobacterium Anabaena, photosynthetic cells and nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts
biofilms is a metabolic cooperation occurs between different prokaryotic species in surface-coating colonies
-
-
-
Masters of Adaptation
-
The waters of Laguna Salada de Torrevieja in Spain with times of the year, the water appears pink
prokaryotes live in environment that are too cold or hot, and the other organisms living on earth's surface
27.6
Pathogenic Bacteria
-
For example, Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium and carried by ticks
-
-
-
-
-
Mutualistic Bacteria
-
Human intestines are home to about 500–1,000 species of bacteria
27.5
Ecological Interactions
In mutualism, both symbiotic organisms benefit
In commensalism, one organism benefits while neither harming nor helping the other in any significant way
Symbiosis is an ecological relationship in which two species live in close contact and a larger host and smaller symbiont
In parasitism, an organism called a parasite harms but does not kill its host
-
Chemical Recycling
Some chemoheterotrophic prokaryotes function as decomposers,
-
-
For example, under some conditions, prokaryotes can increase the availability of nutrients required for plant growth
