INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONAll living cells can be classified into
two groups,ProkaryotesEukaryotes
Prokaryotes are structurally simpler and smaller than eukaryotes.

Mechanism of rotation: “Run and tumble”
Move toward or away from stimuli (taxis)
Chemotaxis , phototaxis magnetotaxis

FimbriaeFimbriaeFor example, fimbriae on the
bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae the causative agent of gonorrhea, help the microbe colonize mucous membranes.
Once colonization occurs, the bacteria can cause disease.

FimbriaeFimbriaeThe fimbriae of E. coli O157 enable this
bacterium to adhere to the lining of the small intestine, where it causes a severe watery diarrhea.
When fimbriae are absent (because of genetic mutation), colonization cannot happen, and no disease develops

⇒ prevents osmotic lysis
Consists of Peptidoglycan (murein) → polymer of 2 monosaccharide subunits ◦ N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and ◦ N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM)

Functions of cell wallFunctions of cell wall
1. Surrounds the the fragile plasma membrane gives the bacteria shape and protection
2. prevent bacterial cells from osmotic lysis3. Contributes to the ability of some species
to cause disease 4. It’s site of action of some antibiotics5. Differentiate major types of bacteria.

Gram Stain MechanismGram Stain MechanismCrystal violet-iodine crystals form in
cell.
Gram-positive
◦ Alcohol dehydrates peptidoglycan
◦ CV-I crystals do not leave
Gram-negative
◦ Alcohol dissolves outer membrane and leaves holes in peptidoglycan.
◦ CV-I washes out

Analogous to eukaryotic cell membrane:Phospholipid bilayer with proteins
(Fluid mosaic model)

Different from eukaryotic cell membrane:Role in Energy transformation
(electron transport chain for ATP production)
Damage to the membrane by alcohols, quaternary ammonium (detergents), and antibiotics causes leakage of cell contents.

Cytoplasm and Internal StructuresCytoplasm and Internal Structures
Location of most biochemical activitiesNucleoid: nuclear region containing
DNA (up to 3500 genes). Difference between human and bacterial chromosome?
Plasmids: small, nonessential, circular DNA (5-100 genes); replicate independently
Ribosomes (70S vs. 80S)
Inclusion bodies: granules containing nutrients, monomers, Fe compounds (magnetosomes)
