- Micro-organisms
- Recycle Nutrients
- Bioremediation (Breakdown Pollutants)
- Immune Development and Human Health
- Food Production
- Disease
- First observed under a microscope in 1665
- Biogenesis
- Prevention of food spoilage
- understand causes of disease
- prevention of infections
- Pioneers
- Pasteur
- Fermentation and pasteurisation

- Vaccines and Hand Washing
- Koch
- Organism present in disease
- must be grown in culture
- Pure culture of organism must cause disease
- must be reisolated from animal
- Pasteur
- Bacteria
- Cytoplasm
- Thick, Semi transparent and elastic
- 80% water
- Contains all molecules required for life
- Nucleoid (DNA)
- Ribosomes, site of protein synthesis, comprised of RNA
- Cell Membrane
- Selective carrier proteins
- semi selective barrier that regulates uptake of nutrients
- Phospholipid bilayer
- Encloses cytoplasm
- Selective carrier proteins
- Cell wall
- Gram Negative
- Endotoxin, lipopolysaccharrides
- Evades phagocytosis
- Barrier to antibiotics
- Less peptidoglycan
- Endotoxin, lipopolysaccharrides
- Antigenic, common site of antibiotic action
- Protect from rupturing (rigid)
- Strength provided by mucoprotein peptidoglycan
- Gram Positive
- Much peptidoglycan

- Glycocalyx
- Capsules
- Firmly attached
- Highly organised
- Slime Layer
- unorganised
