Archaebacteria
Information
Clarifying ?s
bacteria
- single-celled prokaryotes (no nucleus) having circular DNA
shapes
1. sphere
movement
1. flagellum
flagellum
archaebacteria
eubacteria
2. rod
3. spiral
2. wind
4. Curved rod
5. Branched chain
3. water
- Long whip-like structure
- Live in extreme environments e.g. acidic, extreme heat, no oxygen
Examples: deep sea volcanic vents, geysers, hot springs
- Live everywhere else
Example: skin (swimming pool granuloma)
reproduction
conjugation
1. Asexual – cloning – binary fission (cell divides into two
identical cells.)
2. Sexual – Two parents combine DNA to form a new cell.
- DNA is transferred from one organism to another through
thread-like structures.

Archaebacteria
Information
survival
1. autotrophic
- Make own food using sun or chemicals
2. heterotrophic
- Eats other things
3. endospore
- A thick-walled structure forms inside the bacteria that holds and
protects the DNA during unfavorable environmental conditions.
1. Fuel production
Example: methane
2. Food production
Example: yogurt and cheese
3. Decomposers
Example: compost
4. diseases
Example: lymes disease, gangrene
roles
Infectious
disease
antibiotic
- Illness can be passed from one organism to another
Example: strep throat, staph infection, food
poisoning (salmonella and botulism)
- kills bacteria without harming other cells
Example: Penicillin, Erythromyacin, Amoxicillin
