things:
1. Contains
either DNA or RNA
2. surrounded by a
protein coat known
as a CAPSID

1. Lytic Cycle
--virus IMMEDIATELY makes more
viruses and destroys the host cell
2. Lysogenic cycle
--These viruses can hide in host until
signaled to replicate

Thus, Not all viruses replicate immediately.

• a VIRUS that
attacks bacteria
• Have a protein
"tail" attached that
is used to infect the
host bacteria.

4. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
• This virus can lead
to AIDS
• Is an example of a
retrovirus
Contains RNA and

• RNA containing
virus
• Mutates rapidly

• Viral infections
usually involve
several parts of
the body
• Examples:
Cold and flu

• Antibiotics CANNOT KILL viruses
• Instead, VACCINES are used to
PREVENT viruses.
o Vaccine=
A dead or
weakened
version of a
virus that helps
to increase
immunity in the
host

6. Oxygen Relationships
a)
Obligate aerobe= require oxygen to live
b)
Obligate anaerobe= require a complete
absence of oxygen to live
c)
Facultative anaerobe= either or (can
survive with oxygen, but doesn’t need it)

1. MOST bacteria reproduce
by BINARY FISSION
(see picture)
2. Conjugation: some
bacteria exchange genetic
info by forming a
temporary bridge
3. Endospore: some bacteria
form an endospore and go
dormant when conditions
are unfavorable

Conjugation

“To appreciate the explosive
potential for population increase,
consider a single bacterium that
can reproduce by fission every
20 minutes under ideal
conditions. There would be two
bacteria after 20 minutes, four
after 40 minutes, eight after 80
minutes, and so on. If this
continued for a day and a half—
a mere 36 hours—there would
be bacteria enough to form a
layer a foot deep over the entire
Earth.” ~pg. 730

• There are more bacterial cells in your
body than there are human cells.
• Scientists estimate that bacteria produce
nearly half the oxygen found in the
atmosphere
• There are more microbes on your body
than there are humans on the entire
planet.
• An area of skin as small as 6.5 square cm
(1 square inch) may be home to more
than half a million microbes.
