Kingdoms of Organisms
Naming and Classifying Microorganisms
1735 — Carolus Linnaeus established the system of scientific nomenclature
1857 — Carl Von Nageli classified bacteria & fungi under Kingdom Plantae
Kingdoms of Organisms 1
based on the type of ribosomal RNA
Kingdoms of Organisms 2
6 Kingdom
Kingdoms of Organisms 3
eubacteria = true bacteria
eukaryotes are divided into those that have a cell wall and those that don't
Taxonomy
came from the Greek word:
taxis = “arrangement”
nomos = “law”
taxa = categories
Phylogeny
the science and study of understanding the family tree of all life on Earth
Evolutions
Systematics
Kingdoms of Organisms 4
the classification of life according to its phylogenetic (evolutionary)
relationships
Phylum
aka Division
Example
S. aureus
Kingdoms of Organisms 5

Prokaryotic Cells
Kingdoms of Organisms 12
Pro means before
Eukaryotic Cells
Eu means true
prokaryotic cells come in a variety of simple shapes and often form characteristic
groupings
Shapes
The descriptive term bacillus should not be confused with Bacillus, the name of
the genus.
Kingdoms of Organisms 13
While members of the genus Bacillus are rod-shaped, so are many other
bacteria, including Escherichia coli (gram-negative bacilli) are also rod-
shaped
comma-shaped
corkscrew-shaped
a long helical cell with a flexible cell wall and a unique mechanism of
motility is a spirochete
Kingdoms of Organisms 14
bacteria that characteristically vary in their shape are called pleomorphic
Square, tile-like archaeal cells have been found in the salty pools of the
Sinai Peninsula in Egypt
Kingdoms of Organisms 15
Groupings
some divide along a plane while some don't and divide only to form clusters
or a grape-like figure
This is seen especially in the cocci because they may divide into more than one
plane
Cells that divide in one plane may form chains of varying lengths.
like a bracelet
Cocci that divide into two or three planes perpendicular to one another form
cubical packets
Kingdoms of Organisms 16
Cocci that divide into several planes at random may form clusters —

a remarkable organic inclusion body
Cytoplasmic Inclusions
Most cells have only one copy of each gene (are haploid), so cannot
undergo mitosis like eukaryotes
Ribosomes
70s in size
antimicrobials have selective toxicity so they only attack the 30s or the
50s ribosomes so di maaaffect ung 60s and 40s ng humans

light and carbon dioxide via the process of photosynthesis

mas mahirap patayin ang gram negative cuz may periplasmic space sya
that modifies toxic chemicals like drugs
Cell Wall
aka murein
Kingdoms of Organisms 27
composed of alternating molecules of amino sugars:
N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)
aka virulence
Kingdoms of Organisms 28

Kingdoms of Organisms 32
Kingdoms of Organisms 33
exotoxin vs endotoxin
exotoxin
endotoxin
high target site sa positive so cell wall is easily disrupted (sa peptidoglycan)
attack ribosomes
enter the cell immediately sa negative and attack the cells internally
Kingdoms of Organisms 34
streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline
Glycocalyx
composed of either:
polysaccharide
sugar
