3
Bacterial requirements for growth
  • oxygen (or absence)
  • energy
  • nutrients
  • optimal temperature
  • optimal pH

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

5
Obligate anaerobes
  • no oxidative phosphorylation
  • fermentation
  • killed by oxygen
  • lack certain enzymes
  • superoxide dismutase
  • O2-2H to H2O2
  • catalase
  • H2O2 to H20 O2
  • peroxidase
  • H2O2 to H20 /NAD to NADH)

6
Aerotolerant anaerobes
  • respire anaerobically
  • not killed by oxygen

7
Facultative anaerobes
  • fermentation
  • aerobic respiration
  • survive in oxygen

8
Microaerophilic bacteria
  • grow
  • low oxygen
  • killed
  • high oxygen

9
Optimal growth temperature
  • Mesophiles
  • human body temperature
  • pathogens
  • opportunists
  • pyschrophile
  • close to freezing
  • thermophile
  • close to boiling

10
pH
  • Many grow best at neutral pH
  • Some can survive/grow
  • - acid
  • - alkali

11
Nutrient Requirements
  • Carbon
  • Nitrogen
  • Phosphorus
  • Sulfur
  • Metal ions (e.g. iron)

16
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

Aerobic Respiration Glycolysis Krebs
Cycle/oxidative phosphorylation
  • Pyruvate to CO2

  • NAD to NADH
  • glycolysis
  • Krebs cycle
  • Oxidative phosphorylation
  • NADH to NAD
  • ADP to ATP

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