BACTERIA HABITATS
FILL IN THIS TABLE WITH INFO FROM THE FOLLOWING 3 SLIDES
Bacteria Type Description Example/Info
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Facultative Aerobe
Aerobic – thrive in the presence of oxygen and need it for their continued growth and existence
Obligate aerobes – require oxygen for survival
http://www.textbookofbacteriology.net/tuberculosis.html
Anaerobic – cannot tolerate gaseous oxygen, such as those bacteria which live in deep underwater sediments, or those which cause bacterial food poisoning
Obligate anaerobes – cannot live in the presence of oxygen
http://www2.cedarcrest.edu/academic/bio/hale/bioT_EID/lectures/tetanus-pathogen.html
Facultative anaerobes - prefer growing in the presence of oxygen, but can continue to grow without it.

BACTERIA NUTRITIONAL PREFIXES
Hetero = Other
Auto = Self
Photo = Light
Chemo = Chemical
Troph = Nourishment
Bacteria have 2 main nutritional needs, a source of carbon to build molecules and a source of energy in order to function
HETEROTROPH – OBTAINS CARBON FROM OTHER ORGANISMS
Photoheterotroph – uses light energy but gets carbon from other organism
http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Photoheterotroph
Chemoheterotroph – obtains energy chemically and gets carbon from other organism
http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Chemoheterotroph
AUTOTROPH – OBTAINS CARBON DIRECTLY FROM CO2 (CARBON DIOXIDE)
Photoautotoph – uses light as energy source and gets carbon from CO2, like a plant

Chemoautotroph – uses chemicals as energy source and gets carbon from CO2 (methanogens)
