Learning objective:

1.1 Understanding the classification of micr oorganisms

Learning outcomes:

(a) List the characteristics of various types of micr oorganisms

(b) Classify micr oorganisms into bacteria, f ungi,

pr otozoa, vir uses and algae.

(c) Describe the characteristics of each gr oup of micr oorganisms



1.1 classification of micr oorganisms

1 Microorganisms are tiny living things thatare invisible to be seen by the naked eye.

2 The study of microorganisms is known as

microbiology. Microorganisms are also knownas microbes.

Microorganisms can only be seen microscope




A nton van Leeuwenhoek (1632 ² 1723)'s discovery

of microorganisms in 1675, in Holland, using a

microscope of his own design.




3 Microorganisms are divided into fivemain groups based on their characteristics,

namely

(a)Bacteria

(b)Fungi

(c) Protozoa

(d)Viruses

(e) A lgae

The classification are basedon their

(a) Size

(b) Shape ( bentuk)

(c) Methods of reproduction

(d) Nutrition

(e) Habitat



Bacteria

· Make up the largest number among the five

groups of microorganisms

· U nicellular (singled-cell) organisms

· Very small in size (0.2 - 10 mm)

· Shape :- can be classified into 4 groups based

on their shapes:

(a) Cocci ² spherical (coccus)

(b) Bacilli - rod-shaped (bacillus)

(c) Spirilla - spiral-shaped (spirillum)(d) Vibrios - comma-shaped (vibrio)

· Some bacteria have fine, long

structures called flagella to help

them move



Bacteria

Vibrio (comma)



BacteriaCoccus

Bacillus

Spirillum

Vibrio



Bacteria

· Nutrition:- parasitic ( feed on living organisms)or sa pro phytic ( feed on dead organisms)

· Methods of reproduction:- asexually by binar y

fission ( belahan dedua) or sexually by conjugation



Bacteria

· Habitat:- Can be found anywhere (damphabitat, air, water, soil, plants, animals &

human beings)

· Special characteristic:- will form a s pore inunsuitable environment (extreme temperature,

drought or scarcity of food)



Viruses Viruses

y Viruses are non-living things coz they do notcarry out life processes activity such as

respiration, digestion or excretion (criteria for

living things). They do not have nucleus, cell

membrane or cytoplasmy Smallest microorganisms

y Can only be seen through electron microscope

y Size:- 0.02 - 0.4 Qm 1 Qm = 1/1000 mm



Viruses Viruses

y Shape :- have various shapes, such as spherical,

rectangular, rod-shaped or tadpole- shaped orindefinite shapes

HIV virus

Polio virusBacteriophage T4

virus

Influenza/Flu virus



Viruses Viruses

y Nutrition:- Live as parasite ( parasitic)

y Methods of reproduction:- can only reproducewithin a living cell. Reproduces themselves in the

host cells & multiply very quickly



Viruses Viruses

y Habitat:- can only live in living cells (host) such

as bacteria, animals, plants or human beingsy Special characteristic:- will form cr ystals (hablur)

when they are out of living cells



FungiFungi

y Similar to plant but do not have chlorophyll,

roots, stems or leaves

y U nicellular or multicellular organisms

y Various sizes (10 - 100 mm)

y Shape :- have a variety of shapes. Some are like

a ball, have long filament (hyphae) and some are

oval-shaped

YeastMucor



FungiFungi

yNutrition:- parasitic ( tinea) and sa pro phytic

( mucor)y Methods of reproduction:- asexually by spore

formation (pembentukkan s pora) or budding (pertunasan) &

sexually by conjugation

Yeast

Bud (Tunas)

Budding



FungiFungi

y Habitat:- damp & dark habitats

Mucor (Kulapuk)

Spore formation

Sporangium



ProtozoaProtozoa

y Largest unicellular microorganisms

y Size:- 5 - 250 mm

y Shape :- have various shapes, such as oval &

round. Some with indefinite shapes

E.g. :- A moeba (not fixed shape)

Paramecium ( shoe sole @ slipper)

A moebaParamecium



ProtozoaProtozoa

y Some of them move by pseudo podia, flagella or

cillia

y Nutrition:- parasitic (plasmodium) and

sa pro phytic ( amoeba & paramecium )

· Methods of reproduction:- asexually by binary

fission spore formation or budding & sexually by

conjugation

A moeba Paramecium Plasmodium



ProtozoaProtozoa

y Habitat:- Can be found in damp places such as soil & bark

of tree,

fresh water (amoeba @ paramecium),

body fluid of living things (plasmodium)



A lgae A lgae

y A lgae are simple plants with chlorophyll but donot have roots, stems or leaves

y U nicellular or multicellular aquatic plants

y Various sizes, range from very small to very big

in size (1 - 100 000 mm)

Chlamydomonas Euglena



y Shape :- have a variety of shapes. Some arerounds (pleurococcus @ chlmydomonas) for

unicellular, filamentous (spirogyra), ribbon-like or

plate-like shapes for multicellular

Spirogyra Pleurococcus

A lgae A lgae



y Shape · Nutrition:- autotro phic ( carr y out photos ynthesis) / autotro phs

y Methods of reproduction:- asexually by binary

fission, fragmentation or spore formation &

sexually by conjugation

A lgae A lgae



y Habitat:- can be found in damp areas that

receive sunlight such as soil & fresh water, salt

water, damp soil or on the damp bark trees

y Special characteristic:- have chloroplast(can produce their own food)
