Often, single cells in a population might benefit from knowing how many cells are present… “A multitude of bacteria are stronger than a few, thus by union are able overcome obstacles too great for few.” -- Dr. Erwin F. Smith, 1905 (Father of Plant Bacteriology) Pseudomonas aeruginosa in lungs Xylella fastidiosa in xylem Why cell-cell signaling in bacteria? Cell-cell signaling enables bacteria to coordinate behavior to respond quickly to environmental stimuli… such as: -presence of suitable host -change in nutrient availability -defense/competition against other microorganisms -many others!

The myxobacteria are Gram-negative, ubiquitous, soil-dwelling bacteria that are capable of multicellular, social behaviour. In the presence of nutrients, “swarms” of myxobacteria feed cooperatively by sharing extracellular digestive enzymes, and can prey on other bacteria.

Fimbria (pili). Pili 4. Inclusion granules Flagellum Cell wall Cytoplasmic THE CELL WALL membrane The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the bacterial cell just outside of the plasma membrane. Nuceloid Cytoplasm Cell wall Structure Bacteria are classified according to their cell wall as: Gram positive or Gram negative. Peptidoglycan Polysaccharide chains The main structural component of the cell wall. Peptidoglycan is formed of carbohydrate + protein. It consists of long polysaccharide chains that are cross-linked by amino acid bridges. Gram positive Cell Wall In Gram-positive bacteria the peptidoglycan forms a thick layer external to the cell membrane. Cell wall of gram positive bacteria also contain Teichoic acid molecules. Gram negative Cell Wall In Gram-negative bacteria, the peptidoglycan layer is thin and is overlaid by an outer membrane.

  • Microbial Issues Encountered in Wastewater Treatment at Moorhead Factory and Remedial Measures
    MICROBIAL ISSUES ENCOUNTERED IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT AT MOORHEAD FACTORY AND REMEDIAL MEASURES Indrani S. Samaraweera*1, Terry D. McGillivray1, Diane L. Rheault1 and Dennis Burthwick2 American Crystal Sugar Company, Technical Services Center 11700 N. 11th Street and 22500 N. 11th Street, Moorhead, MN 56560 Introduction: Wastewater treatment is an integral part of processing of sugar beets in the sugar industry. American Crystal Sugar Company (ACS) has five factories. Three of these factories, Moorhead (MHD), Hillsboro (HLB), and East Grand Forks (EGF) each have a 6.7 million gallon anaerobic contactor, aerobic basin, and ponds for processing of wastewater while the other two factories have lagoons and wetlands for the treatment of their wastewater. During the 2007/2008 campaign our efforts were focused on microbial issues in wastewater treatment at the MHD factory. Therefore, this paper deals with problems encountered with filamentous bacteria, poor settling in treatment of the high strength wastewater and studies to circumvent these problems. In addition some differences observed in the MHD and HLB anaerobic systems will also be discussed. Materials and Methods: A) Microbiology 1) Sample collection Weekly samples of wastewater were obtained aseptically in sterile screw cap containers from each of three locations: a) anaerobic influent from the new covered wastewater pond, b) anaerobic tank or anaerobic contactor, and c) aerobic basin or activated sludge system. These samples were observed microscopically at the ACS Technical Services Center Microbiology Lab. Samples from similar locations in the wastewater treatment systems at the Hillsboro and East Grand Forks factories were intermittently obtained for comparative purposes. 2) Microscopy and Photography i) Wet Mounts, Staining, Floc formation and Higher Life Forms – Separate wastewater (WW) wet mounts on slides were observed microscopically with or without a drop of lactophenol cotton blue and/or India ink stain.

  • Staining the Purpose of Staining : We Stain Bacteria to Study There : A) Morphology and Arrangement
    Staining The purpose of Staining : We stain bacteria to study there : A) Morphology and Arrangement . B)Differentiated bacteria to groups according to their biochemical composition of cell wall . C)Study structures of bacteria (capsule,flagella) . Stains are classified according to their functions into : 1)Simple stain (methylene blue , safranin) that help to stain the outlines of bacterial cells, giving one the characteristic shape ,size, and arrangement of the cells stained with the simple stain . 2)Differential stain (Gram stain ,acid fast stain) Differential stain will Differentiate between the two cells . 3)Special stains (capsule stain,flagella stain ) stained some structures of bacteria . Preparation of smear : 1. Clean the slide . 2. Place a loop full of water in the center of the slide . 3. Mix a small amount of bacteria using a loop with the water and spread it out . 4. Allow the slide to air dry. 5-Heat-fix the smear by passing the slide through the Benzen burner . 1)Simple stain : methylene blue stain 1. Prepare the smear . 2. Flood the slide with methylene blue stain for 3 mints . 3. Wash the slide with tap water gently,drain off excess water then let the slide dry in air or by using filter paper . 4. Exam it microscopically . 5. The bacteria will appear blue cells . 2) Differential stains : A)Gram staining . B)Ziehl Neelsen (Acid Fast ) staining : Is a differential stain used to identify acid-fast organisms as members of the genus Mycobacterium . Acid-fast organisms are characterized by wax-like,nearly impermeable cell walls;they contain mycolic acid and large amounts of fatty acids ,waxes,and complex lipids .

  • Prokaryotic Cell Features
    Prokaryotic Cell Features Size The small size of prokaryotic cells affects their physiology, growth rate, and ecology. Due to their small cell size, most prokaryotes have the highest surface area–to–volume ratio of any cells. This characteristic aids in nutrient and waste exchange with the environment. As a cell increases in size, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases For a sphere, S / V = 3/r Prokaryotes maintain a high surface area to volume ratio by their smallness. 1. TRANSPORT RATE: Efficient transport of raw materials in and wastes out 2. GROWTH RATE: Nutrient exchange limits growth rates. Many prokaryotes = high metabolic activity (fast growth, reproductive rate). 3. EVOLUTIONARY RATE: Given the same amount of nutrients, small cells can have more individuals in a population than larger cells. Thus, more cell division, and more mutation, more evolutionary change. Eukaryotes larger cell size (in general) Different answers for the transport problem 1. lots of internal membrane channels, invaginations and surface area 2. cytoplasmic streaming 3. organelles (compartmentalize cell functions) 4. bulk uptake - endocytosis (phagocytosis/pinocytosis) Introducing a prokaryote that is one million times bigger than E. coli! Sturgeonfish symbiont. Epulopiscium fiseloni 600 µm (0.6 mm) long 20 - 40 µm long Individual flagella twist together to form “thick” flagella Largest known bacterium: Thiomargarita namibiensis Some nearly 1 mm wide Large central vacuole (dark) contains nitrate sequestered to use in the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds. String of pearls: reflective sulfur granules How do we see microbes? 1. Light Microscopy Up to 1,500 X magnification (yours in lab: 1000 X) Limit of resolving power is ~0.2 µM, or about 1/3 the width of an average bacterial cell Light gathering ability decreases as magnification increases Immersion oil helps gather light rays that would otherwise be lost from specimen How do we see microbes? 2.
