7、e and gram-negative.The original distinction between gram-positive and gram-negative was based on a special staining procedure,the Gram stain The Gram-positive cell wall has a peptidoglycan layer that is relatively thick(ca.40 nm)and comprises approximately 90%of the cell wall.The cell walls of most

8、 Gram-positive eubacteria also have teichoic acids.Gram-positive cell wallStructure of the Repeating Unit in PeptidoglycanThese constituents are connected to form a repeating structure,the glycan tetrapeptide.Peptidoglycan is composed of two sugar derivatives,N-acetylglucosamine(NAG)and N-acetylmura

14、 of archaebacteria.(Differences from eubacteria)Some archaebacteria have walls composed of pseudopeptidoglycan,which resembles the peptidoglycan of eubacteria but contains N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid instead of N-acetylmuramic acid and L.-amino acids instead of the D-amino acids in eubacterial cell

15、 walls.Protoplast Formation Peptidoglycancan be destroyed by certain agents for instancelysozyme,that breaks the 1,4-glycosidic bonds between N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid in the molecule.The difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is due to the physical nature of

16、their cell walls.If the cell wall is removed from gram-positive bacteria,they become gram negative.The peptidoglycan seems to act as a permeability barrier preventing loss of crystal violet.Gram-negative peptidoglycan is very thin,not as highly cross-linked,and has larger pores.Alcohol treatment als

26、ount of DNA is about 4600 kb.If the total DNA is opened and linearized,it would be 1 mm in length.The the cell is only about 2-3 um long.So to package this much DNA into the cell requires that the DNA be highly supercoiled.Electron micrograph of an isolated nucleoid released from E.coli.Chromosome c

27、opy number Bacteria that reproduce asexually are typically haploid in genetic complement.Rapidly growing cells contain more than 1 copy of the chromosome,and only when cell growth has ceased does the chromosome number approach one per cell.Reproduction of a bacterial cell requires the replication of

28、 the bacterial chromosome.The micrograph shows the sequence of synthesis of new circular loops of double helical DNA.Bacteria normally reproduce by binary fission.The inward growth of the septum divides the parent cell to produce two equal-sized progeny cells.Plasmids dont contain the genetic inform

30、lasmids 2.5 Cytoplasmic matrix Ribosome and InclusionsAll eucaryotic and procaryotic cells contain ribosomes,which function as the sites of protein synthesis.Ribosomes are composed of two subunits Procaryotic ribosomes are called 70S ribosomes,and those of eucaryotic cells are known as 80S ribosomes

31、 RibosomesThe letter S refers to Svedberg units,which indicate the relative rate of sedimentation during ultra-high-speed centrifugation Within the cytoplasm of procaryotic(and eucaryotic)cells are several kinds of reserve deposits,known as inclusions.Some inclusions are common to a wide variety of

32、bacteria,whereas others are limited to a small number of species and therefore serve as a basis for identification.Among the more prominent bacterial inclusions are the following:Carbon storage polymers PHB and glycogenPhosphate polymersSulfur Granules Gas VacuolesINCLUSIONSPolyhydroxybutyric acid(P

33、HB)PHB is a lipidlike compound-one of the most common inclusion bodies in prokaryotic organisms.PHB is commonly found as a storage material and unique to bacteria Glycogen is a starchlike polymer of glucose subunits.Glycogen granules are usually smaller than PHB granules.A Vibrio speciesMany microor

35、many photosynthetic bacteria,accumulate elemental sulfur granules as a result of their metabolism.Gas vacuoles(blue)and storage granules(red)in the cyanobacterium MicrocystisThe formation of gas vacuoles by aquatic bacteria provides a mechanism for adjusting the buoyancy of the cell.Many aquatic cya

36、nobacteria use their gas vacuoles to move up and down in the water column.2.6 Components external to the cell wall Flagella Fimbriae and pili Capsules and slime layersMotility allows the cell to reach different regions of its environment.In the struggle for survival,movement to a new location may me

37、an the difference between survival and death of the cell.But,as in any physical process,cell movement is closely tied to an energy expenditure,and the movement of flagella is no exception.Many prokaryotes are motile,and this ability to move independently is usually due to a special structure,the fla

38、gellum(plural,flagella).Four basic types of flagellar arrangementsa,monotrichousb,amphitrichousc,lophotrichousd,peritrichousFlagella are arranged differently on different bacteria.In polar flagellation the flagella are attached at one or both ends of the cell.Occasionally a tuft(group)of flagella ma

39、y arise at one end of the cell,an arrangement called lophotrichous.In peritrichous flagellation the flagella are inserted at many places around the cell surface(peri means around).The type of flagellation,polar or peritrichous,is often used as a characteristic in the classification of bacteria.The f

40、lagellum of a Gram-negative bacteriumThe filament of bacterial flagella is composed of subunits of a protein called flagellin.The base of the flagellum is different in structure from that of the filament.There is a wider region at the base of the flagellum called the hook.The hook consists of a sing

41、le type of protein and functions to connect the filament to the motor portion of the flagellum.The basal body is anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall.The basal body consists of a small central rod that passes through a system of rings.In gram-negative Bacteria,an outer ring is anchored

42、 in the lipopolysaccharide layer and another in the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall,and an inner ring is located within the cytoplasmic membrane.In gram-positive Bacteria,which lack the outer lipopolysaccharide layer,only the inner pair of rings is present.Surrounding the inner ring and anchore

43、d in the cytoplasmic membrane are a pair of proteins called Mot.These proteins actually drive the flagellar motor causing a torque that rotates the filament.A final set of proteins,called the Fli proteins function as the motor switch,reversing rotation of the flagella in response to intracellular si

44、gnals.The movement of a procaryotic flagellum results from rotation of its basal body and is similar to the movement of the shaft of an electric motor.Bacterial cells can alter the speed and direction of rotation of flagella and thus are capable of various patterns of motility.Fimbriae can be evenly

45、 distributed over the entire surface of the cell.They can number anywhere from a few to several hundred per cell.Fimbriae allow a cell to adhere to surfaces including the surfaces of other cells.Pili are usually longer than fimbriae and number only one or two per cell.Pili function to join bacterial

46、 cells prior to the transfer of DNA from one cell to another.F pilusMany prokaryotic organisms secrete on their surfaces slimy or gummy materials.A variety of these structures consist of polysaccharide,and a few consist of protein.The terms capsule and slime layer are frequently used to describe pol

47、ysaccharide layers.Demonstration of the presence of a capsule is usually by means of negative staining Capsules and Slime LayersMany prokaryotes contain a cell surface layer composed of a two-dimensional array of protein.These layers are called S-layers.S-layers have been detected in representatives

48、 of virtually every phylogenetic grouping of Bacteria and are nearly universal among Archaea.In some species of Archaea the S-layer is also the cell wall.The major function of S-layers is unknown.However,as the interface between the cell and its environment it is likely that in cells that produce th

49、em the S-layer at least functions as an external permeability barrier,allowing the passage of low-molecular-weight substances while excluding large molecules.Paracrystalline Surface Layers(S-Layers)2.7 Bacterial endosporesCertain species of bacteria produce special structure called endospores.They a

50、re very resistant to heat and can not be destroyed easily,even by harsh chemicals.Endospores are also resistant to other harmful agents such as drying,radiation,acids and chemical disinfectants.Sporulating cellCentral coreCortexSpore coat/membraneexosporiumMicrograph of a endosporeVegetative cell Co
