SPECIAL
CHARACTERISTICS OF
BACTERIA
• Bacteria such as Bacillus
anthracis form the
• Endospores are spores formed in bacterial cells endospora (Figure 1.16)
and have a strong protective coat. in order to survive in
extreme environments
• Protective coat will rupture when the such as overheated or
surroundings of the endospores become cold areas, drought and
favourable for growth. food shortages.
• Allow germination to form new bacteria
VIRUS
SIZE OF VIRUS
• Viruses are the smallest
microorganisms with a size
of less than 0.5 μm.
• The virus can only be seen
through an electron
microscope
SHAPE OF VIRUS
• Viruses of different
types have different
shapes such as
• spheres,
• helix,
• polyhedral
• complex (combination
of helix with
polyhedral)
BAISC STRUCTURE
OF VIRUS
• Viruses are made up of
strands of nucleic acid
(deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) or ribonucleic acid
(RNA)) which are
protected by a layer of
protein.
• This layer of protein is
known as the capsid that
determines the form of
the virus
SPECIAL CHARACTERICS OF
VIRUS
• Unlike other organisms, viruses do not have the
characteristics of living outside the host because
they do not carry out respiration, excretion,
growth and do not respond to stimulus.
• Viruses only multiply by infecting their host cells
such as bacteria, animals and plants
• The diagram shows the sequence of
bacteriophage reproductive processes by
infecting bacteria, namely its host cells.

POTENTIAL USE OF MICROORGANISMS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
• Developments and advances
in biotechnology especially
green biotechnology have
generated and succeeded in
the idea of the potential use
of microorganisms to treat
sewage waste and produce
ecenzymes through the
fermentation of agricultural
waste.
ECO-ENZYME CLEANSING SOLUTION
• Ecoenzymes are a natural product of agricultural waste such as fruit
or vegetable waste processed through the fermentation process.
SERUM BACTERIA
LACTOBACILLUS SP.
• Bacterial serum
Lactobacillus sp.
used to treat
wastewater and
sludge in drainage
systems.

AND TREATMENT
OF DISEASES
CAUSED BY
MICROORGANISMS
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
OF DISEASES CAUSED BY
MICROORGANISMS
• Besides useful
microorganisms, there are
also harmful
microorganisms known as
pathogens that can cause
disease.
ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE
• Aseptic techniques refer to health procedures performed to
prevent the pathogen infection or to remove existing
pathogens.
• As such, the aseptic technique coincides with the expression
‘prevention is better than cure’.
• This means preventing a person from being infected by a
pathogen is better than treating someone who has been
infected by the pathogen.
• Sterilization means the process of STERILISATION
killing or removing microorganisms
from an object or environment
• The sterilization method depends on
the type of microorganism to be
destroyed or eliminated.
• For example, temperatures in the
autoclave above 130 ° C can kill
microorganisms and their spores.
• Micron filters are used to filter artistic
particles and microorganisms (0.1 μm
- 10 μm) from water or liquids.
BOILING
• Boiling water at 100 °
C is commonly used
to kill microorganisms
on objects of daily
use such as syringe
milk bottles and
dentist equipment.
ANTISEPTIC
• Antiseptics are chemicals that can be applied
to the surface of human skin or wounds to
prevent pathogenic infections
• Examples of antiseptics are acrifl avine (yellow
medicine), povidone and 70% isopropyl alcohol
(IPA)
• Some antiseptics such as acrifl avine and
povidone can kill microorganisms and some
antiseptics such as profl avine inhibit or inhibit
the growth of microorganisms
• 70% isopropyl alcohol can be used as an
antiseptic and sterilizing agent.
DISINFECTANTS • Disinfectants are chemicals used on
non-living things such as sheets,
toilets and swimming pools to kill
microorganisms especially pathogens.
• Disinfectants are not suitable for use
on skin or wounds.
• Examples of common disinfectants
used in daily life are bleach, hydrogen
peroxide and chlorine.
RADIATION
• Ionizing rays such as
ultraviolet rays, X-rays and
gamma rays can be used to
kill microorganisms.
• These rays penetrate into
the cells of microorganisms
and destroy them.
• For example, ultraviolet
rays are used to kill
microorganisms in the
operating room
