Introduction: A bacteriophage is a virus which infects bacteria and have been of particular interest to scientists as vectors of horizontal gene transfer as well as the drivers of bacterial evolution, including as sources of diagnostic and genetic tools and novel therapeutic agents (Clokie et al., 2011). Just as with all viruses, bacteriophages are highly specific with regards to it?s host bacterium or it may only infect one species of bacteria (Kasman and Whitten, 2018).

Introduction: Bacteriophages are viruses which are known to infect and replicate only within bacterial cells, they are also ubiquitous in the environment as well as recognised as the most abundant biological agent on earth (Kasman and Whitten, 2018). Phages are also considered as natural weapons against pathogenic bacteria (Pirnay et?al., 2011). Much like all viruses, bacteriophages are very species-specific regarding the host bacteria or may even only infect one specific strain within a species. (Kasman and Whitten, 2018).

Bacteria The First Microbes 5 Looking Ahead On completing this chapter, you should be able to: Appreciate the enormous span of time for which bacteria have existed on Earth and understand their contributions to the formation of the world as we know it Summarize the various forms of known bacteria and define many of the submicroscopic structures associated with a bacterial cell Describe the process by which bacteria reproduce and grasp the significance of the frequency of bacterial replication Looking Ahead On completing this chapter, you should be able to: Identify some of the environments in which bacteria thrive and recognize the different types of cultivation techniques available for growing bacteria in the laboratory

Introduction to viruses

? Viruses Virus - an infectious agent made up of a core of nucleic acid and a protein coat. viruses are not cells, they are non-living does not have a nucleus, a membrane, or cellular organelles. do have organized structural parts All viruses have at least 2 parts: core of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) capsid - protective protein coat around the core of nucleic acid. The capsid protects the nucleic acid core from its environment. Additional parts may include: an envelope is an additional protective coating usually made of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. spiked projections that bind to the membrane of the cell being infected. **envelopes are only found in viruses that infect animal cells (i.e. flu virus).

The Black Death 1347- 1351 The Famine of 1315-1317 By 1300 Europeans were farming almost all the land the could cultivate A population crisis developed Climate changes in Europe produced three years of crop failures between 1315-17 because of excessive rain. As many as 15% of the peasants in some English villages died. One consequence of starvation & poverty was susceptibility to disease. 1347: Plague Reaches Constantinople! The Symptoms Bulbous Septicemic Form: almost 100% mortality rate The Disease Cycle Flea drinks rat blood that carries the bacteria Bacteria multiply in flea?s guy Flea?s guy clogged with bacteria Flea bites human and regurgitates blood into human wound Human is infected!

CAMPBELL BIOLOGY, AP* 9th EDITION Chapter 27: Bacteria and Archaea 27.1 first organisms were likely prokaryotes unicellular variety of shapes - spherical, rod-shaped, and spiral well-organized the cell wall keeps it from bursting in a hypotonic solution and supports structure in hypertonic solutions, they shrink away from walls/plasmolyze contain peptidoglycan - polymer made of modified sugars crosslinked by short polypeptides. Archaea lack peptidoglycan but bacteria have it. Using the a technique called the Gram stain, scientists classify bacterial species into two ?groups based on cell wall composition Gram positive - simpler walls and a large amount of peptidoglycan Gram negative - less peptidoglycan and more structurally complex. Has an outer lipopolysaccharide membrane

Biology 240 SI Session #10 Chapter 12 SI Leader: Lauren Curtis Email: [email protected] Prokaryotes: Describe the process of 'binary fission' : Binary fission is the process by which a prokaryotic cell cell reproduces asexually by dividing in half. This does not include mitosis in prokaryotes, but a process all in it's own. The cell duplicates it's DNA, doubling in size, and then splits into two daughter cells. Here are some terms you need to be familiar with in regards to cell division... Chromatin: A DNA-protein complex, represents DNA in it's unfolded and non condensed form. Chromosomes: Represents DNA folded and condensed down as the cell gets ready to divide. It organizes the DNA in a way where parts won't get lost when the cell splits in half.
