1
Morphology and Structure of Bacteria
2
Size and shape Size microscope μm Shape planktonic biofilm
3
Shape coccus diplococcus streptococcus tetrads staphylococcus bacillus spiral bacterium vibrio helicobacterium
4
Structure Basic structure cell wall, cellular membrane cytoplasm,nucleoid Special structure capsule,flagellum,pilus,spore
5
G + cell wall peptidoglycan Gram positive , G + Peptidoglycan N-acetyl-glucosamine N-acetylmuramic acid Tetrapeptide side chain Peptide cross-bridge
6
G + peptidoglycan
7
Special component of G + cell wall teichoic acid wall teichoic acid membrane teichoic acid ( lipoteichoic acid , LTA )
8
G - cell wall
9
peptidoglycan Gram negative , G - peptidogycan N-acetyl-glucosamine N-acetylmuramic acid tetrapeptide side chain ) L-ala-D-glu-DAP-D-ala
10
Special component of G - cell wall outer membrane lipoprotein lipid-bilayer lipopolysaccharide , LPS lipid A core O antigen
11
G - cell wall
12
functions Gives the bacterial shape and prevents osmotic lysis Transports materials inside and outside of bacterium Possesses antigenic specificity Provides many pathogenic properties
13
L form Definition bacteria that their peptidoglycan is destroyed or lost by various factors but they can survive under highly osmotic environment Grow only in high solute concentration Colony is like fried-eggs. accomplished through the use of the enzyme lysozyme Type –Protoplast: G + bacteria –Spheroplast: G - bacteria
14
cell membrane active transport respiratory chain component biosynthesis excretion
15
cell membrane penicillin-binding protein ( PBP ) type III secretion system two-component signal transduction
16
Important protein
18
cytoplasm ribosome plasmid mesosome cytoplasm granule ( inclusion )
19
nuclear material nucleoid chromosome Mostly single copy Few repeated sequence
20
Special structure capsule flagellum pilus ( fimbriae ) spore
21
capsule
22
function anti-phagocytosis ( invasiveness ) adherence Resistant to harmful materials
23
flagella
25
function motility H antigen Pathogenesis classfication and identification
26
pilus ordinary pili adherence pathogenecity sex pili conjugation
27
pilus
28
spore
29
nutritional depletion resting cell resistance identification Standard for sterilization Function
