多样性是什么? •Size •shape •metabolic activity •nutrient requirement •oxygen requirement •habitats [temperature, pH, ionic concentrations]
形态多样性 Morphological characteristics in general are related to t he way we visually perceive the features of an organis m; its size and shape From our perspectives, plants and animals have extens ve morphological diversit For microbes, morphological diversity is limited Size and shape of cells Size and shape of colonies formed by bacteri Morphological diversity is very limited for microbes There are probably millions of species of prokaryotes, and just 3 basic shapes of cells Colony morphology descriptions are also limited Estimate thousands of species, how many colony types were obse rved in lab?
形态多样性 ▪ Morphological characteristics in general are related to t he way we visually perceive the features of an organis m; its size and shape ▪ From our perspectives, plants and animals have extensi ve morphological diversity ▪ For microbes, morphological diversity is limited – Size and shape of cells – Size and shape of colonies formed by bacteria ▪ Morphological diversity is very limited for microbes – There are probably millions of species of prokaryotes, and just 3 basic shapes of cells – Colony morphology descriptions are also limited ▪ Estimate thousands of species; how many colony types were obse rved in lab?
生理多样性 What is the range of environmental parameters under which organisms can survive? -u Who lives where and under what conditions? Consider physical/ chemical parameters of the e nvironment Temperature, light, O2, pH, pressure, etc Microbes have extensive physiological diversity They live in many environments uninhabitable by euk aryotes e.g. all of the above, plus deep subsurface rocks, pH o wat ers, hot springs, antarctic ice fields, 121 C water(250!)

微生物代谢多样性 Microbes have extensive metabolic diversity Photoautotrophy Oxygenic photosynthesis AND anoxygenic photosynthesis Photoheterotrophy(not photosynthesis Use light energy and organic compounds to make biomole cules Only Prokaryotes can do this. Chemoautotrophy Use inorganic compounds for energy to fix CO2 Only Prokaryotes can do ts can be used Several different compounds Chemoheterotrophy Use organic compounds for both carbon and energy Often the same compound is used for both Huge array of organic molecules are food for microbes, in cluding many that are toxic or deadly to other organisms
