Prokaryotic Diversity and Classification
  1. What is prokaryote?
    1. Archea
      1. similar shape/size
        1. multiply by binary fission
          1. may have flagella
            1. no peptidoglycan in cell wall
              1. many are extremophiles
                1. Hyperthermophile (over 100 degree celcius)
                  1. Pyrobolus
                  2. Halophiles (can grow in high salt medium)
                    1. Halobacterium *eventho it's actually not a bacterium*
                    2. Acidophiles (can grow in acid condition, best at pH 2)
                      1. Thermoplasma
                  3. Bacteria
                  4. Classifying prokaryotes
                    1. Morphological classification
                      1. Shape
                        1. coccus (round shape)
                          1. rod
                            1. spirillum (spiral shape)
                              1. spirochete (pasta-like)
                                1. budding & appendaged bacteria
                                  1. filamentous bacteria
                                  2. Arrangement
                                    1. Cell size & significance of smallness
                                      1. 0.2 micrometres - 700 nanometres diameter
                                        1. upper size limit
                                          1. due to surface area to volume ratio for absoprtion of gases & nutrients
                                          2. lower size limit
                                            1. due to space needed to house essential proteins, nucleic acids etc
                                        2. Biochemical classification
                                          1. by using API kit (however it takes a long time to show the result)
                                          2. Phylogenetics classification
                                            1. Bacterial 16s rRNA genes
                                              1. use to identify bacteria
                                                1. highly variable among species
                                                2. most of the bacteria have it!
                                                3. Phylogenetic Overview of Bacteria
                                                  1. Isolate /amplify 16s RNA genes
                                                    1. sequence DNA and align sequences
                                                      1. construct the phylogenetic tree
