chapter 19 and 27
concept 27.17
Methanogens -are obligate anaerobes that produce
methaneas a by-product of their metabolism. For example -Under kilometers of ice in Greenland
concept 27.5
-
Symbiosis -is an ecological relationship in which
two species live in close contact : a larger host with
a smaller symbiont
Extremophiles -are archaea that live in extreme
environments,
-
-
-
concept 27.6
Exotoxins - are proteins secreted by bacteria that
can cause disease even if the bacteria are no
longer present For example = cholera is a diarrheal disease caused
by an exotoxin
*Endotoxins * are lipopolysaccharide components of
the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria- For example -endotoxins released by species in the
genus Salmonella cause food poisoning
-
concept 19.1
Virus - is an infectious particle consisting of genes
packaged in a protein coat
-
Viral envelopes - (derived from membranes of host
cells) surround the capsids of influenza viruses other viruses found in animals
Bacteriophages = also called phages, are viruses
that infect bacteria
concept 19.2
-
lytic cycle - is a phage replicative cycle that
culminates in the death of the host cell
-
-
-
concept 19.3
vaccine - a harmless derivative of a pathogen
that stimulates the immune system to mount
defenses against the harmful pathogen
epidemic - widespread outbreak, example = Ebola virus
-
Prions - are infectious proteins that appear to cause degenerative brain diseases in animals
concept 27.1
capsule -if it is dense and well-defined,
or a slime layer if it is not well organized
endospores - Some bacteria form metabolically inactive
endospores when water or nutrients are lacking
-
nucleoid - a region with no membrane. plasmids =Prokaryotes may also have smaller rings of
independently replicating DNA
-
concept 27.2
transformation - prokaryotic cells incorporate
foreign DNA taken up from their surroundings. Example = a nonpathogenic cell could take up a
piece of DNA carrying an allele for pathogenicity and
replace its own allele with the foreign allele
transduction - phages (from “bacteriophages,”
viruses that infect bacteria) carry prokaryotic genes
from one host cell to another
-
F factor - (F for fertility) is
required for the production of pili. F factor can exist either as a plasmid or a segment of DNA
-
concept 27.3
-
nitrogen fixation = some prokaryotes convert atmospheric
nitrogen (N2) to ammonia process called
nitrogen fixation
heterocysts = Nitrogen-fixation is isolated in cells called
heterocysts that prevent oxygen penetration
biofilms - Cells of one or more prokaryote species cooperate
to form surface-coating colonies
