Microbial World and You
![Page 14: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“We are outnumbered. The average human contains about 10 trillion cells. On that average human are about 10 times as many microorganisms, or 100 trillion microscopic beings...”
-Robert J. Sullivan, 1989
![Page 15: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MICROBES ARE EVERYWHERE and ARE RELEVANT TO ALL ASPECTS OF
HUMAN LIFE
![Page 16: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reasons why we study MICROBIOLOGY
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health;
2. Microorganisms maintain the balance of nature;
3. Microorganisms are essential to many human endeavors;
4. Microbiology provides insights into life processes in all forms of life
![Page 17: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- nearly 2,000 different microbes cause various types of diseases (1% of all microbe types)
- infectious diseases: **10 Billion new infections/year ** most common source of death at around 13 Million/ year
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health
“The war against infectious diseases has been won”
- William H. Stewart, 1962
![Page 18: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health
![Page 19: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
many are treatable with drugs or preventable by vaccines
hardest hit are the poor countries (1/3 live on $ 1/day)
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health
![Page 20: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
there is a current increase in number of new (emerging) and older (reemerging) diseases likeSARS, AIDS, hepatitis C, viral encephalitis
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health
![Page 21: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
- new discovery: non infectious diseases involve microbial infection:
gastric ulcer Helicobacter pylori cervical cancer human pappiloma virus diabetes Coxsacki virus schizophrenia borna agent virus female infertility Chlamydia
1st golden age: role of microorganisms in obvious and infectious diseases 2nd golden age: role of microorganisms in quiet but slowly destructive diseases
1. Microorganisms have major impact on human health

- involved in the flow of energy and food:
a. photosynthesis
b. decomposition
2. Microorganisms maintain the balance of nature
![Page 24: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
- bacteria invented photosynthesis ** anoxygenic photosynthesis first then oxygenic photosynthesis, one that involves production of oxygen ** bacteria changed the earth’s anaerobic atmosphere to aerobic atmosphere, which eventually lead to the explosion of species diversity
- photosynthetic microorganisms account for 50% of all of earth’s photosynthesis, and serve as food to various organisms
2. Microorganisms maintain the balance of nature
![Page 25: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
-microorganisms are responsible for breakdown of dead matter and wastes **nitrogen is made available to plants
-certain microorganisms reside in the digestive tract of grazing animals
2. Microorganisms maintain the balance of nature
![Page 26: MCB 1 Lecture 1 Microbial World and You](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54ffa9114a7959e6728b4aea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

- microorganisms have since been used to improve life and shape civilization: **Baker’s yeast for bread **brewer’s yeast for wine and beer **In ancient Egypt, molding loaves were applied directly to wounds (Penicillin)
- genetic engineering **interferon, antibiotics and growth hormones, bioremediation
3. Microorganisms are essential to many human endeavors

- bacteria are used as model organisms because a. bacteria have simple structures b. reproduce quicklyc. gene transfers can be quickly followed
4. Microbiology provides insights into life processes in all forms of life
