 Micro-organism Or Microbe:- “An Organism That Can
Be Seen Only Through A Microscope. Microorganisms
Include Bacteria, Protozoa, Algae, And Fungi”.
 Classification of Micro-organisms:-
• Micro-organisms are classified into ten groups:
1. Bacteria
2. Viruses
3. Fungi
4. Protozoa
5. Rickettsiales
6. Algae
7. Moulds
8. Yeast
9. Chlamydia
10. Mycoplasma

 Classification of Micro-organisms:-
• Classification of microorganism depending on cell
type.
1) Eukaryotic micro-organisms
2) Prokaryotic micro-organisms
3) Non cellular micro-organisms
 Eukaryotic micro-organisms:- They have
complex cellular structure similar to human &
animal cell. Eg. Fungi, protozoa, algae
 Prokaryotic micro-organisms:- they are simple,
unicellular organisms having primitive nuclei &
mitochondria. Unicellular also known as single-
cell organisms. They are capable to live
independent.

 Prokaryotic micro-organisms:- they are simple,
unicellular organisms having primitive nuclei &
mitochondria. Unicellular also known as single-
cell organisms. They are capable to live
independent. Eg. Bacteria.
 Non cellular micro-organisms:- They are without
any cell forms called as acellular. Eg. Viruses.

 Structure of Micro-Organisms:-
• Bacteria are the most well known micro-
organisms.
• Bacteria are microscopic, prokaryotic, unicellular
organisms found everywhere.
 Size of the Bacteria:-
• Bacteria are very small in size. The unit of
measurement of bacteria is called micrometer
(mm).
• Bacteria generally measure 0.2-1.5mm in diameter
& 3.5mm in length.

 Morphology Of Bacteria:- Bacteria Is A
Prokaryotic, Unicellular Organism. Bacteria Are
Found Everywhere, They Are The Most Abundant
Living Organisms.
 Parts Of Bacteria:-
• Bacterial Cell Wall
• Capsule
• Cytoplasmic Membrane
• Cytoplasm
• Ribosomes
• Mesosomes
• Nucleus
• Flagella

• Bacterial cell wall:- It is complex rigid structure. It
gives bacteria its definite shape. It is semi-
permeable. The cell wall of gram-positive bacteria
is thicker than the gram-negative.
• Capsule:- It is a protective covering around the
bacterial cell wall. If this capsule is thick it’s called
capsule. If this layer is thin it’s called slime layer.
Capsule protects the bacteria from antibacterial
agents.
• Cytoplasmic membrane:- It is also called cell
membrane. It is thin & elastic. It is semi-permeable.
This membrane carry many enzymes & pigments.
• Cytoplasm:- It is viscous watery solution. It
contains variety of organic & inorganic solutes &
ribosomes.

• Ribosomes:- It is 10-20nm in diameter. Function of
this is protein synthesis.
• Mesosomes:- It is convoluted membranous bodies.
• Nucleus:- The bacterial nucleus does not possess
nuclear membrane & nucleolus. The genetic
information is contained in a single circular, double
strand molecule of DNA.
• Flagella:- It is long, hollow filaments. They are 10-
20nm in diameter & 3-20mm in length. They are
found on large number of bacteria. Flagella helps in
motility.
• Pili or Fimbriae:- It is hair like structure. They are
thinner & shorter than flagella. They allow
attachment of bacterial cell to other bacterial cell
surfaces.

• Flagella Types:- There are 4 types of
arrangements of flagella.
• 1. Monotrichous:- Single polar flagellum.
• 2. Lophotrichous:- Tuft or group of flagella at one
pole.
• 3. Amphitrichous:- Single flagella at both poles.
• 4. Cephalotrichous:- Tuft or group of flagella at
both poles.
• 5. Peritrichous:- Flagella all around the cell.
• 6. Atrichous:- An absence of flagella.

 Shape of the Bacteria:-
• Individual Bacteria Can Assume One Of 3 Basic
Shapes: Spherical (Coccus), Rodlike (Bacillus),
Or Curved (Vibrio, Spirillum, Or Spirochete).
 Cocci:- They are round or oval in shape. They
exist in various patterns.
• Types of Cocci:-
• Diplococci:- Occurs in pairs, Eg. Gonococci.
• Streptococci:- Occurs in chains.
• Staphylococci:- Occurs in clusters
• Tetrads:- Occurs in Group of 4.
• Sarcina (Octads):- Occurs in Group of 8.

 Bacilli (Bacillus):- They are rod or stick in shape.
It is also called a bacilliform bacterium. They
exist in various patterns.
•Types of Bacilli:-
•Diplobacillus:- Two bacilli arranged side by side
with each other.
•Streptobacillus:- Occurs in chains.
•Coccobacillus:- Oval and similar to Coccus.

 Spirilla (Spirillum):- They Are Non-flexible Spiral
Forms. They Have One To Three Fixed Curves In
Their Body. Eg. Spirillum Volutans.
 Vibrio:- They Are Curved Or Comma Shaped
Rods. Most Of Them Are Non-pathogenic But
Some Are Pathogenic. Eg. Vibrio Cholera
 Spirochaetes:- They Are Slender Spiral Filaments.
They Are Flexible. They Live In Soil & Stagnant
Pools. Eg. Treponema Pallidum

 Bacterial Growth:- Bacteria Are Unicellular Organisms That
Tend To Reproduce Asexually By The Means Of Binary
Fission.
• Bacterial Growth Is The Increase In The Number Of Bacterial
Cells Rather Than The Increase In Their Cell Size.
• The Growth Of These Bacterial Cells Takes Place In An
Exponential Manner, i.e., One Cell Divides Into 2, Then 4,
Then 8, 16, 32 And So On.

• The Time Taken For A Bacterial Cell To Double Is Called
‘Generation Time.’
• The Generation Time Varies Among Different Species Of
Bacteria Based On The Environmental Conditions They
Grow In.
• Clostridium Perfringens Is The Fastest Growing Bacteria
That Has A Generation Time Of 10 Minutes.
• Escherichia Coli Has A Doubling Time Of 20 Minutes.
• Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Is One Of The Slowest
Growing Bacteria, Taking About 12 To 16 Hours To
Double.

 Growth Curve:-
• In A Closed System With Enough Nutrients, A Bacteria
Shows A Predictable Growth Pattern That Is The Bacterial
Growth Curve.
• The Bacterial Growth Curve Shows The Preparation,
Division, Growth And Death Of The Bacterial Cells.
• The Bacterial Growth Progresses In Four Phases Namely –
Lag Phase, Log Phase, Stationary Phase And Death Phase.
• Bacteria Require Optimum Temperature, Ph, Moisture,
Oxygen, Carbon Source, Nitrogen Source And Other
Nutrients

• 1. Lag Phase:-
• The Bacteria Upon Introduction Into The Nutrient Medium
Take Some Time To Adapt To The New Environment.
• In This Phase, The Bacteria Does Not Reproduce But
Prepares Itself For Reproduction.
• The Cells Are Active Metabolically And Keep Increasing
In Size.
• The Cells Synthesise RNA, Growth Factors And Other
Molecules Required For Cell Division.

• 2. Log Phase:-
• Soon after the lag phase, i.e., the preparation phase, the
bacterial cells enter the log phase.
• This phase is also known as the exponential phase.
• This phase is marked by the doubling of the bacterial cells.
The cell number increases.
• The log phase continues until there is depletion of
nutrients in the setup.
• The stage also comes to a stop if toxic substances start to
accumulate, resulting in a slower growth rate.
• The cells are the healthiest at this stage and researchers
prefer to use bacteria from this stage for their experimental
processes.

• 3. Stationary Phase:-
• In The Stationary Phase, The Rate Of Growth Of The Cells
Becomes Equal To Its Rate Of Death.
• The Rate Of Growth Of The Bacterial Cells Is Limited By
The Accumulation Of Toxic Compounds And Also
Depletion Of Nutrients In The Media.
• The Cell Population Remains Constant At This Stage.
• 4. Death Phase:-
• This Is The Last Phase Of The Bacterial Growth.
• At This Stage, The Rate Of Death Is Greater Than The
Rate Of Formation Of New Cells.
• Lack Of Nutrients, Physical Conditions Or Other Injuries
To The Cell Leads To Death Of The Cells.

• Alkaliphiles:- Organisms grow best under at pH above 7.
5. Oxygen:- The Bacteria Which Can Grow Only In The
Presence Of Oxygen Are Known As ‘Aerobic Bacteria’. This
Bacteria Requires Oxygen For Life & Reproduction.
• Some Bacteria Can Grow In The Absence Of Oxygen Are
Known As ‘Anaerobic Bacteria’. This Bacteria Does Not
Requires Oxygen For Life & Reproduction.
6. Carbon Dioxide:- Some Bacteria Requires Extra CO2 In The
Air For Their Growth & Reproduction.

7. Light & Other Radiations:- Bacteria Grow In Dark
Places. Bacteria Can Be Destroyed Or Killed By UV Rays,
Ionizing Radiations, Infrared Rays & Other Radiations.
8. Osmotic Effect:- Osmotic Pressure Changes Can Effect
The Growth Of Bacteria. Sudden Changes In Osmotic
Pressure Can Cause Destruction Of Bacteria.

1. Resident Flora:- It Is Consist Of Permanent
Microorganisms Which Are Regularly Found In A Given
Area.
2. The Transient Flora:- It Is Consist Of Pathogenic Or
Non-pathogenic Organisms That Stay On The Skin Or
Mucus Membranes For Hours, Day Or Week. They Do
Not Stay Permanently On The Surface.
• The most common sites of body inhabited by normal flora
are the skin, eye, mouth, upper respiratory, GI & urogenital
tracts.

 Beneficial Effects Of The Normal Flora:-
1. The Normal Flora Synthesizes And Excretes Vitamins:-
• For Example, In Humans, Enteric Bacteria Secrete Vitamin K And
Vitamin B12, And Lactic Acid Bacteria Produce Certain B-vitamins.
2. The Normal Flora Prevents Colonization Of Pathogens:-
• By Competing For Attachment Sites. This Is Thought To Be Their
Most Important Beneficial Effect, Which Has Been Demonstrated In
The Oral Cavity, The Intestine, The Skin, And The Vaginal
Epithelium.
3. The Normal Flora May Antagonize (Act-against) Other
Bacteria:- Through The Production Of Substances Which Inhibit Or
Kill Nonindigenous Species. The Intestinal Bacteria Produce A Variety
Of Substances Such As Bacteriocins, Which Inhibit Or Kill Other
Bacteria.

4. The Normal Flora Stimulate The Development Of
Certain Tissues:- The Caecum And Certain Lymphatic
Tissues (Peyer's Patches) In The GI Tract.
5. The Normal Flora Stimulates The Production Of
Natural Antibodies.
 Harmful Effects Of The Normal Flora
1. Bacterial Synergism:- Between A Member Of The
Normal Flora And A Potential Pathogen Helps In
Establishment Of Infection.
• The Normal Flora Supplying A Vitamin Or Some Other
Growth Factor To Other Pathogen Needs In Order To
Grow. This Is Called ”Cross-feeding” Between Microbes.

2. Induction Of A Low Grade Toxemia:- Some Minute
Amounts Of Bacterial Toxins (E.x. Endotoxin) May Be
Found In The Circulation.
3. The Normal Flora May Be Agents Of Disease:-
Members Of The Normal Flora May Cause Endogenous
Disease If They Reach A Site Or Tissue Where They Cannot
Be Restricted Or Tolerated By The Host Defenses.
