Cell Wall Peptidoglycan links
1. Gram + Thick peptidoglycan wall; stain purple

membrane; antibiotic resistance; stain red
Cell Membrane Semipermeable; may have extra folds to
accommodate respiratory and
Nucleoid
photosynthetic enzymes
Region
Circular DNA; not membrane bound;
not associated with protein
Ribosomes
Different protein and smaller than eukaryotic
Pili
ribosomes; antibiotics
Adhesion to substrate or other bacteria; transfer
plasmid during conjugation
Plasmid Small circular transferable DNA that contain
extra genes; antibiotic resistance; metabolic
enzymes; replicate independently
Basal Apparatus
Rotates flagella; powered by diffusion
Flagella
of H+ ions
Rigid “propeller like”(eukaryote flagella flexible); used in chemotaxis

-conjugation: DNA (as plasmids) transferred between two temporarily joined cells via pili
-transduction: bacteriophages carry prokaryotic genes from one host cell to another
III. The Metabolic Diversity of Prokaryotes
A. Energy and Carbon Requirements
All organism must have:
Energy Source
Carbon Source
Origin of the energy to "excite”
electrons to make ATP
Origin of carbon required to
build organic molecules
Possibilities
1. Electrons “excited”
by light
1. Carbon from CO2 (inorganic origin)
Name: Autotrophs
Name: Photo
2. Electrons extracted from
“high energy molecules”
Name: Chemo
2. Carbon from pre-made
organic compounds
(lipids, COH’s, protein)
Name: Heterotrophs
B. Metabolism Possibilities

C. Oxygen Requirements:
Oxygen is the most abundant and most effective
electron acceptor to make ATP with an electron
transport chain
1. Obligate Aerobes: Organism uses O2 as final electron acceptor
e-
ATP
Electron
Transport
Chain
H+
O2
H2O
Obligate aerobes must have O2 in order to make enough ATP for survival
2. Obligate Anaerobes:
a. Organism uses molecules other than O2 as final electron acceptor.
b. Oxygen is toxic since it binds the electrons before ATP can be made
e-
ATP
Electron
Transport
Chain
Without Oxygen Present
H+

2. Obligate Anaerobes:
a. Organism uses molecules other than O2 as final electron acceptor.
b. Oxygen is toxic since it binds the electrons before ATP can be made

Waste Products
+ 2ATP
1. Ethyl Alcohol + CO2
Anaerobic decomposition has
an acid pH due to acidic waste
products
2. Lactic Acid
3. Acetic Acid (vinegar)
3. Facultative Aerobes/Anaerobes
1. May contain both aerobic and anaerobic ETC and rely on fermentation to
make ATP
2. Some “harmless” bacteria may become pathogenic depending on
the type of respiration is used determined by the environment.
Example: E. coli
D. Nitrogen Requirements:
Nitrogen is needed to build proteins and
nucleic acids. Nitrogen can also be used as
an “excited” electron source.
1. Ammonification Bacteria
Protein
Ammonia(NH3) + (e- to make ATP)
Both Aerobic or Anaerobic
2. Nitrification Bacteria
NH3
Some species
Requires O2
Nitrite (NO2) + (e- to make ATP)
Nitrite (NO2)
Nitrate (NO3) + (e- to make ATP)

2. Interactions all involve decomposition
B. Symbiotic relationships

a. Many opportunistic
b. Secrete exotoxins or membrane bound endotoxins
2. Mutualistic
a. Digestion (termites, herbivores) & us (Vit K, B12, thiamin, riboflavin)
b. Photosynthesis (Cyanobacteria in lichens)
c. Bioluminescence (deep sea fish)
d. Nitrogen fixers (legumes)
C. Industrial Processes
1. Sewage/ waste treatment/bioremediation
2. Food Products: cheese, yogurt, vinegar, butter
3. Chemicals : acetone, alcohols
4. Pharmaceuticals: antibiotics, insulin, HGH (genetic engineered)

Types of Fermentation
Bucket O’ NADA
1. Lactic Acid
1. NADH (energy rich) can be used to
convert pyruvate into another molecule
Lactic Acid Fermentation
(Muscle cells, Bacteria)
2. Fermentation allows NADH to
recycle to NAD in order to continue
to make ATP with out oxygen
2. Ethyl Acohol + CO2
Alcoholic Fermentation
(Bacteria, Yeasts)
3. Acetic Acid (vinegar) + CO2
(Bacteria)

the pyruvate is “going somewhere”
