1. Microorganisms: are entities that are too small to be seen with the unaided eye.
2. Examples of Microbes: Bacteria, Viruses, Protozoa, Fungi, Algae, and Larvae of Helminths
3. Pathogenic Microbes: cause disease.
4. Microorganisms are Beneficial: They: Decompose Waste
Are producers of oxygen by photosynthesis
Provide a food source for many other organisms
Produce fermented foods such as vinegar, cheese and bread
Produce anitbiotics and vaccines
5. Microorganisms are Beneficial by: Producing industrial chemicals such as ethyl alcohol, acetone,
and enzymes used in cleaners.
6. Linneaus: established the system of scientific nomenclature.
7. Genus and Species: Two names of any organism.
8. Serotypes: Most bacterial species contain subspecies or what which are variations within a species.
9. Three Domains: Eubacteria
Archaea
Eukaryotes
10. Bacteria: Prokaryotes
Unicellular
Peptidoglycan is found in their cell wall
Reproduce by binary fission
Extremely diverse
11. What do bacteria do for energy?: For energy, bacteria may use organic chemicals, inorganic
chemicals, or photosynthesis depending on species.
12. Archaea: Prokaryotes similar to bacteria
Unicellular
Lack peptidoglycan
Usually live in extreme environments
Have not changed structure and physiology for centuries
13. Fungi: Eukaryotes
Chitin in cell walls
Use organic chemicals for energy (not photosynthetic)
