2. Metabolism
• All of the chemical reactions and physical
occurings within a living organism
• Bacteria obtain the energy and nutrients (e.g.
carbon) it needs to live and reproduce by
metabolism.
• Metabolic functions are often performed by
several enzymatic reactions in a series or
“pathway”.
3. Enzymes – catalysts that speed up
chemical reactions
Enzymes are substrate specific
Sucrases – Sucrose
Lactases – Lactose
Lipases – Lipids
Proteases – Proteins
Ureases – Urea
DNases – DNA
5. Carbohydrate Anabolism
• H2 , H2 S and organic compounds are
the source of electron donor
• O2 never formed as a product
• Bacteriochlorophyll absorb light at
longer wavelength (infrared region)
• Only has cyclic photophosphorylation
Bacterial Photosynthesis
9. Chemiosmosis occur only in intact
membranes
• No proton
movement – No ATP
production –
Organism dies
• Point of action of
antibiotics
10. Carbohydrate Catabolism
• Microorganisms oxidize carbohydrates as their
primary source of energy
• Glucose - most common energy source
• 1 mole of glucose yields 686,000 calories
• Not all energy trapped by bacteria, only 40% is
absorbed
• Stepwise process
11. • After Sugars are made or obtained, they are
the energy source of life.
– Breakdown of sugar occurs in different ways:
Aerobic Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration
Fermentation
12. Aerobic Cellular Respiration
• Electrons released by oxidation are passed
down an Electron Transport System with
oxygen being the final electron acceptor
• C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ------------- 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
38 ADP + 38 P 38 ATP
17. Total ATP Production in Aerobic
Respiration
Glycolysis = 2
Transition Reaction = 0
Krebs Cycle = 2
Electron Transport Reaction = 34
Total = 38 ATP
18.
19. Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
• Electrons released by oxidation are passed
down an E.T.S. but oxygen is not the final
electron acceptor
Desulphovibrio - Sulfate (SO4
-2) to H2S
Methanobacterium / methanococcus
CO2 to Methane (CH4)
E.Coli – Nitrate (NO3-) to Nitrite (NO2-)
20. Fermentation
Fermentation is a way to recycle NAD+
coenzyme so that glycolysis can again make 2
ATP from 1 glucose molecule
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcoholic Acid Fermentation
21.
22. Lactic Acid
Fermentation
End Product - Lactic
Acid
2 ATP produced per
molecule of glucose
Food spoilage
Examples are
Streptococcus and
Lactobacillus
Alcoholic Acid
Fermentation
End products – Alcohol
and CO2
2 ATP produced per
molecule of glucose
Alcoholic Beverages
Less beneficial
Example is Yeast and
some bacteria.
Editor's Notes
Only one photosystem can not do photolysis of H2O 1. H2O not the source of electron donor (H+) is
Bacteriochlorophyls not present in chloroplasts and scattered in cytoplasm
Electron completes the cycle of energy transfer beginning with and returning to bacteriochlorophyl , hence called cyclic photophosphorylation
End Products of Glycolysis 2 Pyruvic acid 2 NADH2 2 ATP
What happens when there is no oxygen because cell still needs to make their ATP. Now, what kind of cells exist or make ATP without oxygen and they are bacteria, archea, yeast, muscle cells.
Another case is organism may just stick to glycolysis which does,nt need oxyegen and then use some way to get their NAD+ back. An organic molecule accepts electrons in intermediary steps of glycolysis to regenerate NAD+ from NADH+
Because ATP has the ability to power many cellular processes
