Characteristics of MicrobesProkaryotic cells
Smaller Lack special structures such as a nucleus and
organellesAll prokaryotic cells are microorganisms
Some microorganisms are eukaryoticViruses?

Pathogens causing disease
Normal / indigenous floradecomposing dead skin cells supplying essential vitamins, guarding against pathogenic
organisms Saprobes
In soil decompose dead organisms,
sustaining chemical cycles
Microorganisms are diverse and widespread

DNA is tightly coiled around a proteindense area called the
nucleoid

stable extrachromosomal DNA elements that carry nonessential genetic information
duplicated and passed on to offspringreplicate independently from
the chromosome

General Structure of VirusesCapsids
All viruses possessConstructed from identical
subunits called capsomers made of protein
Structural types: helical
Continuous helix of capsomers forming a cylindrical nucleocapsid
icosahedral 20-sided with 12 corners
vary in the number of capsomers

Viral envelopemostly animal virusesacquired when virus leaves host cellProtects the nucleic acid when the
virion is outside the host cellspikes
exposed proteins on the outside of the envelope
essential for attachment of the virus to the host cell
Nakedcomposed only of a nucleocapsid
Envelopedsurrounded by an envelope

Fungi– Yeasts and molds
• Single-celled, microscopic– Mushrooms
• Multicellular, macroscopic– Cell nucleus and other
cellular structures– Absorb nutrients from their
environment– Saprobes
– Widely distributed in water and soil
Thermal dimorphism grow as molds at 30°C and
as yeasts at 37°C

Vary in shape, lack a cell wall Most are unicellularColonies are rareObtain food by engulfing or ingesting
smaller organisms and plant materialMost are harmless, free-living in a moist
habitat

Protozoa
Exist as trophozoite motile feeding stage
cystDormant resting stage
when conditions are unfavorable for growth and feeding
All reproduce asexually, mitosis or multiple fission
Many also reproduce sexually

Protozoan Classification
Simple grouping is based on method of motility, reproduction, and life cycle
Mastigophora primarily flagellar motility
Sarcodina primarily ameba
Ciliophora Cilia
Apicomplexa motility is absent except male gametes

Algae– Unicellular to
multicellular – Macroalgae– Microalgae
– Have a nucleus and many membrane-enclosed cellular structures
– Photosynthesize their own food
– Widely distributed in fresh and salt water
– Important source of food for other organisms
