Chemical antimicrobial agents used to control microorganisms that are harmful to humans:
Sterilants destroy all forms of microbial life
Disinfectants kill microorganisms, but endospores are typically resistant
Sanitizers reduce the microbial load but may not eliminate all microorganisms
Antiseptics & Germicides
kill or inhibit growth of microorganisms on living tissue
;
1929 discovered antimicrobial effects of penicillin G made by the fungus Penicillium on Staphylococcus by chance
1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine - Fleming, Howard Walter Florey and Ernst Boris Chain
1888-1955 Alexander Fleming
Vancomycin
• Glycopeptide antibiotic
• Binds to pentapeptide of the peptidoglycan precursor
• Produced by a soil microbe Amycolatopsis orientalis
• Effective against Gram-positive Bacteria
Platensimycin
• Produced by Streptomyces platensis
• Inhibits fatty acid biosynthesis enzyme

The Hydrogen Hypothesis – how the first eukaryotic was formed?
Symbiont cell - Bacteria producing H2; lipid gene transfer; precursor of mitochondrion
Host cell - Archaea dependent on H2 for electron source to make energy
Symbiont cell – photosynthetic cyanobacterial-like ancestor
