REL 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Microbiological Culture, Carl Woese, Veterinary Virology
Document Summary
Microbe: organisms and acellular entities too small to be seen by the unaided eye, simple. Acellular infectious agents: viruses, smallest of all microbes, requires host cell to replicate, cause range of disease, tsdus, some cancers, viroids and satellites, infectious agents composed of rna, prions infectious proteins. Explain carl woese"s contributions: the work of carl woese and his collaborators suggests that organisms fall into one of three domains based on nucleotide sequence similarities among small subunit ribosomal rnas (ssu rrnas) Provide an example of the importance to humans of each of the major types of microbes: causative agents of disease, food production, antibiotic manufacture, vaccine development, and environmental management. Cyanobacteria & stromalites: endosymbiotic theory, the origin of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and hydrogenosomes from endosymbiont, ssu rrna genes show bacterial lineage between mitochondria and chloroplasts, hydrogenosomes, anaerobic endosymbiont.
