Bacteria Outline
Bacteria
- Oldest, structurally simplest, most abundant forms of life
- Only organism with prokaryotic cellular organization
- The only members of the kingdom Monera (4800 different kinds)
- Characteristics change depending on growth conditions
- Maintenance of life depends on them - play vital role of productivity and as decomposers
- Capable of fixing atmospheric N for use by other organisms
- Used in production and fermentation of various food and as antibiotics and is being tested for
insect control
- Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

…showed last 75 words of 1167 total…polysaccharides they excrete
- Occur in soils - aerobes
- N Fixing Aerobic Bacteria - gram/- and flagellated
- Soil/water - converts N to a form which can be used by other organisms and itself
- Fermenting bacteria - obligate anaerobe - N fixing
-Chemoautotrophic bacteria
- Chemoautotrophy - metabolism that depends on chemical sources of energy like methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide
- Do not require sunlight
- Use N compounds to gain energy (Nitrosomonas)
- Oxidize inorganic S or Fe compounds to gain energy
- Use methane/methanol
