3
Obligate aerobes
• grow in presence of oxygen
• no fermentation
• oxidative phosphorylation
4

•
•
•
Obligate anaerobes
no oxidative phosphorylation
fermentation
killed by oxygen
lack certain enzymes:
superoxide dismutase
O2-+2H+
H2O2
catalase
H2O2
H20 + O2
peroxidase
H2O2 + NADH + H+
H20 + NAD
5
Aerotolerant anaerobes
• respire anaerobically
• not killed by oxygen
6
Facultative anaerobes
• fermentation
• aerobic respiration
• survive in oxygen
7
Microaerophilic bacteria
• grow
– low oxygen
• killed
– high oxygen
8
Optimal growth temperature
• Mesophiles:
– human body temperature
* pathogens
* opportunists
• pyschrophile
– close to freezing
• thermophile
– close to boiling
9
pH
• Many grow best at neutral pH
• Some can survive/grow
- acid
- alkali

Generation time
• time for bacterial mass to double
• Example
100 bacteria present at time 0
If generation time is 2 hr
After 8 hr mass = 100 x 24
17
SUGAR CATABOLISM
• Glycolysis
– Embden Meyerhof Parnas Pathway
– most bacteria
– also animals and plants
18
Other pathways for catabolizing
sugars
• Pentose phosphate pathway (hexose
monophosphate shunt)
– generates NADPH
– common in plants and animals
• Entner Doudoroff Pathway
– a few bacterial species

– Krebs cycle
•
Oxidative phosphorylation
–

– ADP to ATP
24
Oxidative phosphylation
• converts O2 to H20 (oxidative)
• converts ADP to ATP (phosphorylation)
• electron transport chain
• ubiquinones/cytochrome intermediates
