Microbes, Fungi, Protozoa, Algae, Prokaryotes, VirusesCurrent LectureAntoni van Leeuwenhoek- first person to look at live specimens through simple light microscope- Called tiny animals (fungi, algae, protozoa) “animalcules”- He was known as the Father of Protozoology and Bacteriology- These organisms were finally called microbes in the end of the 19th centuryCarolus Linnaeus- taxonomic system (naming plants and animals/grouping similar organisms together)Microorganisms are divided into 5 categories by Linnaeus1. Small animals2. Fungi3. Protozoa4. Algae5. ProkaryotesFungi- eukaryotic with membrane bound nucleus, get food from other organisms, have cell walls --Examples: Yeasts (unicellular, asexual budding & sexual spores), mold (multicellular, sexual & asexual spores)Protozoa- eukaryotic, single celled, similar to animal cell structure & nutrition needs, these typically live in water sometimes in animal hosts, mostly asexual (some sexual)These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.--Locomotion: Psudopodia, cilia, flagellaPsudopodia: false feetCillia: hair-like projectionsFlagella: “tails” used for swimming (ex: sperm cells)Algae-unicellular and multicellular, photosyntheticProkaryotes-unicellular (no nuclei), smaller than eukaryotes, asexual--There are two types of prokaryotes:-Bacteria and ArchaeaViruses- noncellular, smaller than bacteria, often disease agents that require a
