  Слайд 2
  

  What are microbes? Microbes are small single-celled organisms Either free-living or in colonies They can belong to any of the three domains

• 
  Слайд 3
  

  Eubacteria (Bacteria) Archaebacteria (Archaea) Eukaryota (Eukaryotes) Three Domains

• 
  Слайд 4
  

  Eubacteria Gram-negative and gram-positive prokaryotes Either autotrophs or heterotrophs Can be aerobic or anaerobic Mesophiles Examples: E. coli Lactobacillus Agrobacterium Staphylococcus

• 
  Слайд 5
  

  Archea Ancient domain, but only recently identified Through DNA analysis they were determined to differ significantly from eubacteria Found predominantly in extreme environments (Extremophiles) Thermophiles 50- 110°C Psychrophiles 0- 20°C Alkaliphiles pH>9 Halophiles 3- 20% salt Methanogens use H2 + CO2 to produce CH4

• 
  Слайд 6
  

  Eukaryotes Predominately yeasts/molds, protists, algae Sac shaped cells that form sexual spores Examples: Sacchromyces Penicillium Aspergillus Pichia

  Fermentation is a process for the production of useful products through mass culture of single-cells The end products or the various intermediate products (metabolites) are siphoned off & purified for commercial use stirred tank reactor Fermenter or Bioreactor

  1928: Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic. He observed that Penicillium fungus made an antibiotic, penicillin, that killed S. aureus. 1940s: Penicillin was tested clinically and mass produced. Original Penicillium moulds produced less than 10 units of penicillin per ml of fermentation broth (1943) By 1955 Penicillium strains produced 8000 units/ml Mutation with UV, mustard gas, and X-Ray, strain selection / culture improvement Is this GMO?

  Слайд 14
  

  Transgenic microbes are created when cDNAs for the protein product are cloned into expression vectors Human genes inserted into E. coli Genes from extremophiles are moved to mesophiles Due to the ease in culturing of mesophiles Mesophiles also have 5 to 10x higher growth rates Recombinant DNA Microbes

  Слайд 24
  

  Subtilisin, a protease used in laundry detergents The recombinant protein was engineered to remain active in the presence of bleach Bleach caused the oxidation of one amino acid (methionine) and the enzyme lost 90% of its activity By replacing this amino acid with alanine, the engineered enzyme was no longer sensitive to oxidation

  Some ice crystal nucleation is due to bacterial activity Pseudomonas syringae promotes the development of ice at 0 to 2°C If the bacteria are not present ice does not form until between –6 and –8°C

• 
  Слайд 43
  

  A strain of P. syringae called “ice minus” was developed Plants were to be sprayed with the ice minus strain This inhibits colonization by the “ice plus” (wild) strain The EPA declared the new strain to be a pesticide This made the review process lengthy and burdensome The company thought it too expensive to pursue However the “ice plus” strain has found a purpose…

  Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an aerobic spore-forming bacterium During sporulation producesinsecticidal crystal protein (ICP), a toxin (Cry) The toxin brakes down quickly in the environment They have no toxicity to humans & there is no withholding period on produce sprayed with Bt Cry toxins vary in their toxicity and specificity Microbial Pesticides

  Bioremediation

• 
  Слайд 48
  

  Bioremediation is reclaiming or cleaning of contaminated sites using microbes or other organisms This entails the removal, degradation, or sequestering of pollutants &/or toxic wastes http://www.cleanearthltd.com/en/contamination_cleanup/index.php

• 
  Слайд 49
  

  Bacteria are isolated based on their efficiency at digesting & converting the waste The bacteria are tested for performance and safety Bacteria are placed back in the waste environment in high concentrations The bacteria grow & in the process digest & convert the waste into CO2 and H20

• 
  Слайд 50
  

  What can be cleaned up using bioremediation? Oil spills Waste water Plastics Chemicals (PCBs) Toxic Metals

  PCBs have low water solubility, good insulating properties, high boiling points and resistance to chemicals The largest uses for PCBs was in capacitors, transformers, & as plasticizers

• 
  Слайд 61
  

  1977, Monsanto (main producer) stops all PCB production Millions of lbs of PCBs are still in place around the world The stability properties that made PCBs so useful have allowed them to persist in the environment Most people in industrialized countries have PCBs in their tissue

• 
  Слайд 62
  

  Microbes that dehalogenate PCBs have been isolated This process is referred to as halorespiration Involves the replacement of the Cl with an –OH This process is multi-step with four enzymes required These enzymes are now the target of protein engineering to optimize their performance

  Слайд 66
  

  Microbe assisted mining has gone on for millennia Early copper miners used microbes to leach copper from ore without even knowing it Low-grade ore and mine tailings are exploited biologically Sulfides of metals like zinc, copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, tungsten, lead are insoluble in water These sulfides are converted to sulfate which are soluble The sulfates leach out of the ore and are then extracted
