 We continue learning about microbial metabolism.
  Cellular respiration is process cells use to convert  E in chemical bonds of nutrients to ATP E.
Aerobic respiration
-involves an electron transport system
-final electron acceptor is oxygen gas.
-total theoretical maximum number atp generated perglucose in prokaryote is 38.In eukaryotr is 36-38.This different from prokaryote because depending on how 2NADH generated in cytoplasm during glycolysis enter mitochondria resulting 2 or 3 atp per NADH but in prokaryote there are no mitochondria 38 can be produce.
metabolic pathways-

I hope I can know what species of eukaryote will produce  36 atp and 37,38.Before this I only think that plant hae specific respiration but now microbe also have respiration process that some steps similar to plants.

Carbon fixation
-light dependent reaction
consumes atp
most commo pathway is Calvin cycle.
The other name for carbon cycle is Calvin-Benson Cycle.

When learning on biology during foundation I only learn the other name for carbon fixation is calvin cycle but now I know there is one more name that is Calvin-Benson cycle.When I search I found more name about this
-Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle
-Dark stage

Microbiological Nutrition
Photoautotroph energy source is light while carbon source is carbon dioxide

Photoheterotroph energy source is light and carbon source is organic molecules

chemoautroph energy source is inorganic molecules and carbon source is carbon dioxide

Phototrophs energy is light
When learning this I quite shock that microbes have different types of nutrient.I thought it only happen with plant.

What I have learn:
-Total maximum atp in prokaryotes is 38
-Carbon fixation is light dependent reaction
-Carbon sources for autotrophs is carbon dioxide

26/9/14  Today we have our class at 8 o'clock early than the usual. We learn about External structure of prokaryote. I  a little bit shock when knowing we going to learn about external structure of prokaryote because we just send our mind map about internal structure of prokaryote. Anyway the class carry on and I have fun learning about external structure of prokaryote.   Prokaryotes are a group of organisms that lack of cell nucleus or any other membrane bound organelle. The two domains in prokaryote are bacteria and archaea. Three basic shapes coccus Arrangement : diplococci, staphylococci, streptococci, tetrads, sarcinae pic from:http://images.books24x7.com/bookimages/id_20695/fig153_01.jpg   Bacillus Arrangement: diplobacilli and streptobacilli   Spiral arrangement:vibrio, spirilium and spirochetes The smallest bacteria is mycoplasma. Vibrio cholera cause cholera which  cause watery diarrhea and vomiting. This bacteria comes from water contaminated by

The second chapter we learn about cell wall and membrane structure of prokaryote. Flagella is long filamentous appendages that propel bacteria. from: http://i0.wp.com/microbeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/flagellar-arrangement-of-bacteria.jpg I wonder if the number and arrangement effect the movement? There are three basic part Filament hook basal body Axial filament are bundles of fibrils that arise at the end of cell beneath the outer sheath.Present in spirochetes group of bacteria What I have learn: Gram negative cell wall have few layer of peptidoglycan Gram positive have teichoic acid. Archaea have pseudomurein

relate Microbial Ecology to other microbiology courses have covered and apply the knowledge in the future

 In previous subject I learn  their characteristics and uses. When I am studying Microbial ecology I get to know more about the place that I learn their characteristics  and uses. I also study lab of microbiology with the knowledge from both course I should be able to know how to find and isolate microbes. Different microbes stay in different places. Different microbes require different way to isolate them. For the future application, I think to solve a problems using microbes, the microbes that will solve the problems need to be find in the problems occur. For example, bacteria that involve in bio remediation usually live and isolated in polluted area since there are able to withstands the pollutants.
