Protists Chapter 16 How Ancient Bacteria Changed the World Mounds of rock found near the Bahamas Contain photosynthetic prokaryotes 0 Stromatolites in northern Canada Figure 160Ax1 Fossilized mats 25 billion years old mark a time when photosynthetic prokaryotes . A. Metabolism. 1. Anabolism. A) synthesis reactions (building up). 2. Catabolism. A) lysis reactions (breaking down). B. Enzymes. 1. proteins that facilitate chemical reactions. Microbial Metabolism. Microbial food spoilage occurs as a consequence of either microbial growth in a food or release of extracellular and intracellular(following cell . lysis. ) . enzymes in the food environment.. Signs of spoilage of different types of food:. Eubacteria & . Archarbacteria. Prokaryotes. Unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus. Prokaryotes are identified by characteristics such as shape, the chemical nature of their cell walls, the way they move, and the way they obtain energy.. A. Metabolism. 1. Anabolism. A) synthesis reactions (building up). 2. Catabolism. A) lysis reactions (breaking down). B. Enzymes. 1. proteins that facilitate chemical reactions. Microbial Metabolism. A. Structure of DNA. 1. discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. 2. stores genetic information for the production of proteins. 3. composed of nucleotides.

Prokaryotes have DNA, like all other cells, but their DNA is not found in a membrane-bound nuclear envelope as it is in eukaryotes. Prokaryote DNA is located in the cytoplasm. .
