Nutritional RequirementsNutritional Requirements
• Nutrients are substances required for biosynthesis of
macromolecules, energy production and growth
• macroelements (macronutrients)
• required in relatively large amounts
• C, H, N, O, P, S and K, Mg, Fe and Ca
• micronutrients (trace elements)
• Mn, Zn, Co, Mo, Ni, and Cu
• required in trace amounts, used as cofactors by enzymes
• often supplied in water or in media components

Mystery Behind LifeMystery Behind Life
• Molecules of life are formed through reductive pathway that requires:
• Source of electrons and protons
• Source of energy
• A carbon source at oxidized state
• Process:
• energy is used to release electrons from an inroganic/organic source
• Transfer onto a carbon containing molecule
• The reduced form of carbon is used to build new macrmolecular derivatives

Growth FactorsGrowth Factors
• Are organic compounds
• essential cell components (or their precursors) that
the cell cannot synthesize
• must be supplied by environment if cell is to survive
and reproduce

Nutritional classification of MicroorganismsNutritional classification of Microorganisms
• Nutritional classes :Nutritional classes :
• Based on carbon source:• autotrophsautotrophs
• use carbon dioxide as their sole or principal carbon source
• heterotrophsheterotrophs
• use organic molecules as carbon sources which often also serve as energy source
• Based on energy source• phototrophsphototrophs use light
• chemotrophschemotrophs obtain energy from oxidation of chemical compounds
• Based on electron source• lithotrophslithotrophs use reduced inorganic substances

Nutritional Resource ManagementNutritional Resource Management• Depending on how carbon, energy and electron sources are used
microroganisms can be divided into five nutritional categories:
(auto/hetero) (photo/chemo) (litho/organo)

Uptake of Nutrients by the CellUptake of Nutrients by the Cell
• Some nutrients enter by passive diffusion.
(Membranes are permeable for them)
• Most nutrients enter by:
• facilitated diffusion
• active transport
• group translocation
![Page 10: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Passive Diffusion Passive Diffusion (simple diffusion)(simple diffusion)
• molecules move from region of higher concentration
to lower concentration because of random thermal
agitation
• is not energy dependent
• H2O, O2 and CO2 often move across membranes this
way
![Page 11: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Facilitated DiffusionFacilitated Diffusion
• similar to passive diffusion e.g.,
• movement of molecules is not energy dependent
• direction of movement is from high concentration to
low concentration
• concentration gradient impacts rate of uptake
![Page 13: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• differs from passive diffusion
• uses carrier molecules (transporters, eg. permeases)
• smaller concentration gradient is required for significant
uptake of molecules
• effectively transports glycerol, sugars, and amino acids
• more prominent in eucaryotic cells than in
procaryotic cells

Active TransportActive Transport
Bacteria use active transport to accumulate scarce
sources of nutrients from their natural habitat
• energy-dependent process
• ATP or proton motive force used
• moves molecules against the concentration gradient
• concentrates molecules inside cells
• involves carrier proteins
• carrier saturation effect is observed at high solute
concentrations
![Page 18: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ABC transportersABC transporters
• ATP-Binding Cassette transporters• observed in bacteria, archaea, and
eucaryotes
• Transports sugars like arabinose, galactose, ribose etc
• Cargo delivery by porins (OmpF) to periplasmic space where:
• Solute binds to a specific binding protein (SBP) that delivers it to the transporter
• Transporter conformation changes
• ATP binds to transporter subunits in lumen side
• Upon ATP hydrolysis the solute is transferred into the cytoplasm
![Page 19: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Active Transport using proton gradientActive Transport using proton gradient
PMF instead of ATP can be indirectly utilized to transport sugars into bacterial cells
Sugars can be transported by a symporter that is driven by Na+ gradient outside the cell
Na+ gradient itself is generated through H+ gradient coupled antiporter that pumps the Na+ to the periplasmic space
![Page 20: Microbial Nutrition Bio3124 Lecture # 4. Lecture outline Reading: Ch. 4 (up to page 130) Lecture topics Nutritional requirements Nutritional classes of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e025503460f94aeca41/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
