1、IntroductionMicrobes are a diverse group of organisms that can be divided into the viruses, unicellular groups (Archaea, Eubacteria, protista, some fungi and some chlorophyta) and a small number of organisms with a simple multicellular structure (the large fungi and chlorophyta).Microbiology: the sc

2、ience (logos) of small (micro) life (bios). The study of living things so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.The three-domain system is a biological classification introduced by Carl Woese that divides cellular life forms into archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains. In particular, i

3、t emphasizes the separation of prokaryotes into two groups, originally called Eubacteria (now Bacteria) and Archaebacteria (now Archaea).Microorganisms were first visualized by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (16321723), a Dutch cloth merchant and an expert lens grinder.The first proof of the involvement of

4、bacteria in disease and the definitive proof of the germ theory of disease came from the German Robert Koch.Kochs postulates:1, The microorganism must be present in every instance of the disease and absent from healthy individuals.2, The microorganism must be capable of being isolated and grown in p

5、ure culture.3 ,When the microorganism is inoculated into a healthy host, the same disease condition must result.4, The same microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host.Chapter oneFungi include yeasts, molds, and mushrooms.Viruses are noncellular organisms; they are intra-

6、cellular parasites of animals, plants, or bacteria. 1, The Prokaryotes can be divided into two kingdoms, Bacteria and Archaea. The classification was first proposed by Woese based on the differences in 16S rRNA sequence.2, Prokaryotic microorganism（原核微生物）: It is an single-celled organism which doesn

7、t have a nuclear membrane outside the cell nucleus and only has the bare DNA called as the nuclear area.3, Many bacteria are shaped like long rods twisted into spirals or helices; they are called spirilla （螺旋菌）if rigid and spirochetes (螺旋體) when flexible.4, Capsules (莢膜) and slime layers (粘液層) usual

8、ly are composed of polysaccharides (多糖), but they may be constructed of other materials.5, Gram staining procedure(革蘭氏染色旳環(huán)節(jié))In the first step of the Gram-staining procedure, the smear is stained with the basic dye crystal violet, the primary stain. It is followed by treatment with an iodine solution

9、 functioning as a mordant. That is, the iodine increases the interaction between the cell and the dye so that the cell is stained more strongly. The smear is next decolorized by washing with ethanol or acetone. This step generates the differential aspect of the Gram stain; gram-positive bacteria ret

10、ain the crystal violet, whereas gram-negative bacteria lose their crystal violet and become colorless. Finally, the smear is counterstained with a simple, basic dye different in color from crystal violet. Safranin, the most common counterstain, colors gram-negative bacteria pink to red and leaves gr

11、am-positive bacteria dark purple. 6, The Mechanism of Gram Staining （革蘭氏染色旳機制）Although several explanations have been given for the Gramstain reaction results, it seems likely that the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is due to the physical nature of their cell walls. If t

12、he cell wall is removed from grampositive bacteria, they become gram negative. The peptidoglycan itself is not stained; instead it seems to act as a permeability barrier preventing loss of crystal violet. During the procedure the bacteria are first stained with crystal violet and next treated with i

13、odine to promote dye retention. When gram-positive bacteria then are decolorized with ethanol, the alcohol is thought to shrink the pores of the thick peptidoglycan. Thus the dye-iodine complex is retained during the short decolorization step and the bacteria remain purple. In contrast, gram-negativ

14、e peptidoglycan is very thin, not as highly cross-linked, and has larger pores. Alcohol treatment also may extract enough lipid from the gramnegative wall to increase its porosity further. For these reasons, alcohol more readily removes the purple crystal violet-iodine complex from gram-negative bac

15、teria. 簡而言之，不同細菌旳染色差別（G+或G-）是由于細胞壁化學成分旳差別而引起了物理特性（脫色能力）旳不同。具體而言：通過初染和媒染后，在細胞膜內形成了不溶于水旳結晶與碘旳復合物。G+菌由于細胞壁厚，肽聚糖網(wǎng)層次多而交聯(lián)緊密，并且不含類脂，故以乙醇脫色時不會溶出縫隙，反而使肽聚糖網(wǎng)孔收縮，使染料滯留在細胞壁內而使其染上紫色；反之，G-菌由于細胞壁薄，外膜層類脂含量高，肽聚糖層薄和交聯(lián)度差，當遇到乙醇時，以類脂為主旳旳外膜迅速溶解，這時薄而松散旳肽聚糖網(wǎng)不能阻擋結晶紫與碘旳復合物旳溶出，故細胞退成無色。再經(jīng)番紅等紅色染料復染時，就使G-菌呈現(xiàn)紅色，而G+菌仍保存紫色或紫紅色。圖示革蘭氏

One of the features that caused taxonomists finally to remove fungi from the plant kingdom was the distinctive chemical nature of the fungal cell wall.

24、the cell wall of fungi is made up principally of chitin.Fungi（真菌旳概念）：This term fungus indicates those organisms that have true nucleus, produce spores by asexual or sexual reproduction, absorb the nourishment material, have no chloroplast.

29、oth individuals. The fusion of hyphae is called plasmogamy. The fused hyphae containing haploid nuclei from two individuals is heterokaryotic. In some cases, plasmogamy results in cells with one nucleus from each individual. This condition is called dikaryotic. Eventually, two nuclei that originated

30、 from different individuals fuse to form a diploid zygote. Meiosis then produces either four haploid nuclei or four haploid cells. Asexual spores (無性孢子)are formed by the aerial mycelium of one organism. When these spores germinate, they become organisms that are genetically identical to the parent.

31、Sexual spores (有性孢子) result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same species of fungus. Organisms that grow from sexual spores will have genetic characteristics of both parental strains. VirusVirus（病毒旳概念）：Viruses are a unique group of tiny infectious particles that are

32、obligate parasites of cells, are not cells but resemble complex molecules composed of DNA or RNA.
