Classification
Bacteria can be classified by:• Shape • Reproductive methods• Gram Staining
![Page 4: BACTERIA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56815b92550346895dc995c0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of Bacteria
• Bacteria has a variety of shapes including:
• Cocci
• Bacilli
• Sprilli

Cocci - Round

Bacilli – Rod Shaped

Spirilli – Spiral Shaped

Growth Patterns
• Certain types of bacteria grow in characteristic patterns–Diplo: cells arranged in pairs–Strepto: cells arranged in a chain–Staphylo: cells arranged in clusters

Examples?

Reproduction
• Bacteria reproduce mainly by:
• Asexual methods.
•This happens through a type of cell division called binary fission.

Binary Fission
• Bacteria don’t have nuclei so they can’t reproduce by mitosis
• They copy their single chromosome which go to either end of the elongated bacterium.
• A partition then builds between either end of the cell and then it divides.
• Poof! An exact copy.

Conjugation
• Bacteria can also exchange DNA through a process called conjugation.
• A bridge between bacteria called a pilus (plural pili) allows a short, circular section of DNA called a plasmid to be exchanged between cells.
• Pili allow genes to be transferred rapidly in a bacterial population.

Gram Staining• Bacteria can be divided into two groups based
on the presence or absence of certain types of molecules in the cell wall.

Gram Positive
• Have a thick carbohydrate cell wall and stains purple
Good Ones:
Yogurt-making bacteria, antibiotic production, pickling bacteria, digestive bacteria
Bad ones:
Some forms of tetanus, pneumonia and botulism.

Gram Negative
• Have an extra layer of lipid on the cell wall that stains pink.
• Antibiotics aren’t very effective for this bacteria. (ask if you’re interested why)
Many nitrogen-cycle bacteria are gram negative as well as cyanobacteria.

Archaebacteria
• Find the textbook section on Archaebacteria– Describe characteristics of this Kingdom– Identify some representative Archaebacteria– Explain why you think studying Archaebacteria
may be relevant today. Essentially…. Why bother??

Archaea
• Live in very difficult environments. Often classified by the environment they live in.– Halophiles: live in high-salt environments– Thermophiles: Live in high-temperature environments– Acidophiles: live in acidic environments
• Also classified by what they use for food– Methanogenic archaea make methane as a part of
their metabolism.– Chemosynthetic bacteria use other chemicals than
oxygen to help them produce energy.
