Major importance of Cyanobacteria
Nitrogen fixation
How is Lyme disease diagnosed?
isolation of bacterium, PCR, and serological tests.
Chlamydia psittaci
Causes psittacosis (parrot disease) acquired by inhalation, treat with tetracyclines 10-14 days.
What does Treponema pallidum cause?
syphilis
Disseminated stage
occurs weeks or months after infection. Neuro abnormalities, heart inflammation and arthritis
Sonication
High vibrations controlled used to break bacterial cells
Treatment, prevention and control of syphilis
Antibiotics early, public education, follow up on sources and contacts, sexual hygiene, and condom use
What stage is the infective stage in Chlamydiae life cycle?
Elementary Body
cause of lake blooms in nutrient rich ponds and lakes
Cyanobacteria
Why are chlamydia energy parasites?
Dont have genes for substrate level phosphorylation, e- transport and oxidative phosphorylation

multiple fission.
1st evidence of photosynthetic bacteria by fossil record
Photosynthetic bacteria
tertiary stage of syphilis
Almost imposs. to treat. Formation of gummas in skin, bone, and nervous system.

antibiotics in early stages, tick control and avoiding ticks
What can reticulate bodies synthesize with host precursors
Amino acids
Late stage
Occurs years later. Demylination of neurons, behavior changes and MS or Alzheimers like symptoms
genus plantomyces
attach to surfaces through stalk
Most common STD in US
Chlamydia trachomatis
What does Chlamydia pneumonia cause?
Human pneumonia and linked to coronary disease
localized stage
develops 1 wk to 10 days after infection. Bullseye appearing lesion, flu like symptoms
What is an axial filament?
Complex of axial fibrils (periplasmic flagella)
What causes Lyme disease?
Borrelia
Primary stage of syphilis
treated more easily. presents as chancre at sites and contains spirochetes
What are gummas and what do they cause?
Degenerative lesions, cause insanity as most prominent symptom
Are cyanobacteria gram+ or gram-?
Gram Negative
How is Treponema pallidum treated?
Penicillin- penetrates and disrupts peptidoglycan synthesis
Many Cyanobacteria are
Obligate photolithoautotrophs
Whre do chlamydiae get majority of ATP from
Host cell

Borrelia brugdorferi
Elementary body
rigid cell wall, resistant to sonication, resistant to trypsin, subunit in cell envelope RNA:DNA 1/1 Isolated organisms infections, adapted for extracellular survival
Secondary stage of syphilis
Immitates small pox. Highly variable rash followed by latent period

MOST IMPORTANT causes blindness, urethritis, lymphogranuloma venereum. Treated with Tetracycline
Phylum Planctomycetes
have compartmentalized cell, lack peptidoglycan.
Phylum Chlamydiae
gram-, obligate intracellular parasites, need to be in cell to replicate, have both types of nucleic acid
