Document Summary

Bacteria: list 3 characteristics that distinguish bacteria and archaea, relate the structure of bacterial cell walls to their reaction to the gram stain technique. Both positive and negative have peptidoglycan but in negative shielded from stain because of membrane on top: relate the structure of bacterial cells to their sensitivity or resistance to the antibiotic penicillin. Penicillin affects peptidoglycan so works better on gram-positive. Gram negative, peptidoglycan is on outside so penicillin doesn"t work as well: explain how antibiotics work to treat bacterial infections. Want an antibiotic to kill bacterial cells, but not yours so need something unique to attack. Good ones: ribosomes (bacterial and not ours), or cell wall (since we don"t have it) Wouldn"t be good: something that inhibits dna synthesis because that will kill yours too: identify the roles of the following types of prokaryotes in their environment: cyanobacteria, extremophiles, symbiotic gut bacteria, decomposers, pathogen. Pathogen: compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

1.You are working in a laboratory producing new antibiotics for human and veterinary use. One compound with potential value inhibits the action of prokaryotic ribosomes. The compound, however, was shown to inhibit the growth of animal cells in culture. What is one possible explanation for its effect on animal cells?

2. A research laboratory in pharmaceutical company is studying environmental factors that would inhibit the growth of Archaea. One question they have is if adding of antibiotic penicillin would be effective in controlling their growth. Explain to your best knowledge the probable results of an experiment in which penicillin is added to a culture of Archaea?

3. Most medically used antibiotics interfere with either peptidoglycan synthesis or ribosome function. Why do you think the cytoplasmic (cell) membrane would be a POOR target for antibacterial medications?

1.This week, you will be conducting Gram stains of bacteria.Which of the following statements are true? (Mark all thatapply)

		Gram-negative bacteria do not stain purple because they do nottake-up crystal violet or iodine
		The peptidoglycan in the walls of Gram-positive bacteria bindsto the crystal violet stain more easily than walls of Gram-negativebacteria do
		Gram-positive bacteria have cell walls with a thickerpeptidoglycan layer than walls of Gram-negative bacteria
		Gram-negative bacteria do not stain purple, because their cellwall structure allows purple-colored iodine-dye complexes to washout of the cells more easily than the cell wall structure ofGram-positive bacteria does
		Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane (outside thepeptidoglycan layer in their wall) that Gram-positive bacterialack

		Biochemical similarities between existing species
		Fossils
		Morphological similarities between existing species (presence ofhair, backbones, etc.)
