Section 1 Prokaryotes
Two Major Domains: Archaea and Bacteria
• Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that do not
have a membrane-bound nucleus, and can live in
nearly every environment on Earth.
• Although tiny, prokaryotes differ greatly in their
genetic traits, their modes of nutrition, and their
habitats.
• Based on genetic differences, prokaryotes are
grouped in two domains: Domain Archaea and
Domain Bacteria.

Section 1 Prokaryotes
Domain Archaea
• One of the ways in which archaea differ is the make
up of their cell wall. Archaeal cells walls do not
contain peptidoglycan.
– Peptidoglycan is a protein-carbohydrate complex
found in bacterial cell walls that make their cells
walls rigid.
• Archaea differ in the types of lipids in their cell
membrane. Also, archaeal genes do not contain
introns.

• Archaeal Groups
– Archaeal groups include methanogens, halophiles,
and thermoacidophiles.
• Methanogens convert hydrogen gas and
carbon dioxide into methane. They can be
found in the intestines of organisms such as
cattle and termites.

Domain Archaea, continued
• Archaeal Groups, continued
– Halophiles are “salt-loving” archaea that live in
very salty environments such as the Great Salt
Lake and the Dead Sea.
– Thermoacidophiles live in very hot, acidic
environments, such as the hot springs of
Yellowstone National Park. Some
thermoacidophiles live at temperatures up to
110°C (230°F) and at a pH of less than 2.

Domain Bacteria
• Bacteria occur in many shapes and sizes. Most
bacteria have one of three basic shapes: rod-shaped,
sphere-shaped, or spiral-shaped.
• Rod-shaped bacteria are called bacilli (singular,
bacillus). An example of bacilli is Escherichia coli.
• Sphere-shaped bacteria are called cocci (singular,
coccus). An example of cocci is Micrococcus luteus.

• Spiral shaped bacteria are called spirilla
(singular, spirillum). An example of spirilla
bacteria includes Spirillum volutans.
• Cocci that form chains similar to a string of beads
are called streptococci.
• Cocci that form clusters similar to a bunch of
grapes are called staphylococci.

• Gram Stain
– Most species of bacteria are classified into two categories
based on the structure of their cell walls as determined by a
technique called the Gram stain.
– Gram-positive bacteria have a thick layer of peptidoglycan
in their cell wall, and they appear purple under a
microscope after the Gram-staining procedure.
– Gram-negative bacteria have a thin layer of peptidoglycan
in their cell wall, and they appear reddish-pink under a
microscope after the Gram-staining procedure.

Important Bacterial Groups
• Bacteria are also classified by their biochemical properties
and evolutionary relationships.
• Proteobacteria
– Proteobacteria are one of the largest and most diverse
groups of bacteria, and contain several subgroups that
are extremely diverse.
– Members of this group include bacteria of the genus
Rhizobium, the genus Agrobacterium, and the
bacterium Escherichia coli.

Important Bacterial Groups, continued
• Gram-Positive Bacteria
– Not all of the bacteria in this group are Grampositive. Biologists place a few species of Gramnegative bacteria in this group because these
species are genetically similar to Gram-positive
bacteria.
– Members of this group include the streptococcal
species, Clostridium botulinum, Bacillus anthracis,
and members of the genus Mycobacteria.

• Gram-Positive Bacteria, continued
– Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria, some
species of which produce antibiotics.
• Antibiotics are chemicals that inhibit the
growth of or kill other microorganisms.
Streptomycin and tetracycline are examples of
antibiotics that are used medicinally.

Important Bacterial Groups, continued
• Cyanobacteria
– Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to get energy
from sunlight, and make carbohydrates from
water and carbon dioxide. During this process,
they create oxygen as a waste product.
– Once called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria are
now known to be bacteria because they lack a
membrane-bound nucleus and chloroplasts.

• Spirochetes
– Spirochetes are Gram-negative, spiral-shaped
bacteria that move by means of a corkscrew-like
rotation. Some are aerobic.
– Spirochetes can live freely or as pathogens.
Pathogenic spirochetes include Treponema
pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, and
Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease.

Structure and Function
• The major structures of a prokaryotic cell include a cell
wall, a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and
sometimes a capsule, pili, endospores, and flagella.
• Cell Wall
– Most prokaryotes have a cell wall. Bacterial cell walls
contain peptidoglycan. Archaeal cell walls do not
have peptidoglycan; instead, some contain
pseudomurein, a compound made of unusual lipids
and amino acids.

• Cell Membrane and Cytoplasm
– Bacterial and archaeal cell membranes are lipid
bilayers that have proteins. However, the lipids
and proteins of archaeal cell walls differ from
those of bacterial cell walls.
– The cytoplasm is a semifluid solution that contains
ribosomes, DNA, small organic and inorganic
molecules, and ions.

• DNA
– Prokaryotic DNA is a single closed loop of doublestranded DNA attached at one point to the cell
membrane.
– Along with a single main chromosome, some
prokaryotes have plasmids, which are small,
circular, self-replicating loops of double-stranded
DNA.

• Capsules and Pili
– Many bacteria have an outer covering of
polysaccharides called a capsule that protects the
cell against drying, pathogens, or harsh
chemicals.
– Pili are short, hairlike protein structures on the
surface of some bacteria that help bacteria
connect to each other and to surfaces, such as
those of a host cell.

environment or by utilizing the products or bodies of
living organisms.

following three ways:
– transformation (taking in DNA from the outside
environment)

via pili)

viruses).

Bacteria in Industry
• Many species of bacteria are used to produce and
process different foods, to produce industrial
chemicals, to mine for minerals, to produce
insecticides, and to clean up chemical and oil spills.
• Biologists have learned to harness bacteria to recycle
compounds in a process called bioremediation,
which uses bacteria to break down pollutants.

Extended Response
Base your answers to parts A & B on the information below.
Species of the symbiotic bacterial genus Rhizobium live within
the root nodules of legumes, such as soybeans and
peanuts. Some farmers take advantage of the nitrogenfixing abilities of these species when they rotate their crops
every few years and grow legumes instead of their normal
food crops.
Part A Define nitrogen fixation.
Part B Explain the benefits of crop rotation on the soil.

Answer:
Part A Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of
nitrogen gas into a form of nitrogen (ammonia)
that plants can use.
Part B Crop rotation of legumes with nonlegume
crops would add nitrogen to the soil without
having to use artificial fertilizers.
