Document Summary

The age of bacteria, anaerobic world, it starts with anaerobic forms and finishes with aerobic forms, cyanobacteria that transform the planet to oxygen rich environment. Connected with, or dependent on, the presence of free oxygen: organisms that live and use oxygen in their respiratory processes. Connected with the absence of oxygen or not dependent on oxygen air for survival: relating to the generation of energy by a form of metabolism not requiring oxygen. Live in extreme environment , called extremophiles. Describes strains of bacteria that are no longer susceptible to the effects of antibiotics. Mostly presented in the plasmid of a bacterial genome , transmitted via bacterial conjugation. Multimeric protein complex that plays a key role in the energy metabolism of all organisms. The proton-transporting enzyme responsible for atp formation in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Synthesise atp from adp and inorganic phosphate using energy derived from a proton gradient: present in bacterial flagellum.
