Functional anatomy of Bacteria
and other Microbes
Or
The differences between
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic
cells
Q&A
• Penicillin was
called a “miracle
drug” because it
doesn’t harm
human cells.
Why doesn’t it?
• Proks and euks are
similar in chemical
composition and
reaction
• Proks lack membrane
bound organelles
• Only Proks have
peptidoglycan
• Euks have membrane
bound organelles
• Euks have paired
chromosomes
• Euks have histones
Nick sees the difference mainly
in information and structural
capacity
• Proks lack membrane-enclosed
organelles
• Euks are like a 2mhz 100gb home
computer
• Proks are like a calculator
• Human genome 4x109
• E. coli 4x106
The prokaryote
• Unicellular
• Multiply by binary fission
• Differentiated by

Sources of energy
Other tests
Size
• 0.2 to 2um in diameter
• 2-8um in length
• In biological systems there are always
exceptions these are general sizes.
Shape
Shape
• Coccus
– Diplococci
– Streptococci
– Staphylococci
• Bacillus
• Spiral
• Other pleomorphic
shapes
Basic components of a
bacterial cell fig 4.6
Parts not seen
• Glycocalyx
– Capsule
– Slime layer
– Extracellular
polysaccharide
• Function
• Toxicity
• Protect from
phagocytosis
• Allow adherence
• Reduce water loss
• Collect nutrients
Flagella:
long filamentous appendages with filament,
hook and basal body
• Used in movement
• Can present taxis
– Negative
– Positive
• Monotrichous
• Peritrichous
• Flagellar H protein
acts as an antigen
E.c O157:H7
• Flagellin
Flagella Arrangement
Figure 4.7
Fimbriae/pili
• Shorter and less
complex than flagella
• Helps adhere to
surfaces
• Used for sex and
communication
Cell wall
• Major difference between eukaryotic and prok orgs.
• Surrounds plasma membrane provides protection
• Peptidoglycan
– Polymer of
• NAG
• NAM
• Short amino acid chain
• Production inhibited by antibiotics
• Prevents osmotic damage
• Damage to cw is almost always lethal except
Gram Positives have large cell
wall and Teichoic acids
Gram neg have
lipopolysaccharide
Peptidoglycan
• Polymer of
disaccharide:
– Nacetylglucosamine
(NAG)
– N-acetylmuramic
acid (NAM)

Peptidoglycan in Gram-Positive
Bacteria
Figure 4.13a
The Cell Wall
• Prevents osmotic lysis
• 4-7
Differentiate protoplast,
spheroplast, and L form.
• Made of peptidoglycan (in bacteria)
• Linked by polypeptides

 Thin peptidoglycan
• Thick peptidoglycan  Outer membrane
• Teichoic acids
 Periplasmic space
Figure 4.13b–c
Gram neg
• Lipoprotein phospholipid outer membrane
surrounding a thin peptidoglycan
• Makes gram neg resistant to
– Phagocytosis
– Antibiotics
– Chemical reactions
– Enzymes (lysozyme)
– Has lipid A endotoxin
– O polysaccaride antigen O157:H7 E.c.
Gram-Negative Outer
Membrane

How the gram stain works to
differentiate between G+ and G-
The Gram Stain
(a) Gram-Positive
(b) Gram-Negative
Table 4.1
The Gram Stain Mechanism
• Crystal 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
Gram-Positive Gram-Negative
Cell Wall
Cell Wall
 4-ring basal body
• 2-ring basal body
• Disrupted by
lysozyme
• Penicillin sensitive
 Endotoxin
 Tetracycline sensitive
Figure 4.13b–c
Nontypical cell walls
• Mycoplasma (acid fast) do not have ppt
containing cell wall.
• Archaea contain another chemical called
pseudomurein
Atypical Cell Walls
• Acid-fast cell walls
– Like gram-positive
– Waxy lipid (mycolic acid) bound to
peptidoglycan
– Mycobacterium
– Nocardia
Figure 24.8
Atypical Cell Walls
• Mycoplasmas
– Lack cell walls
– Sterols in plasma membrane
• Archaea
– Wall-less or
– Walls of pseudomurein (lack NAM and D-amino
acids)
Damage to the Cell Wall
•
•
•
•
Lysozyme digests disaccharide in peptidoglycan
Penicillin inhibits peptide bridges in peptidoglycan
Protoplast is a wall-less cell
Spheroplast is a wall-less gram-positive cell
– Protoplasts and spheroplasts are susceptible to
osmotic lysis
• L forms are wall-less cells that swell into irregular
shapes
Plasma membrane
• Defines the living and nonliving parts of
the cell
– Everything on the inside is living
– Everything on the outside is not living
• Is selectively permeable
• Workspace for enzymes of metabolic
reactions

Plasma Membrane
Phospholipid bilayer
Peripheral proteins
Integral proteins
Transmembrane proteins
Figure 4.14b
PM Workspace
– Nutrient breakdown
– Energy production
– Photosynthesis
– Afforded by mesosomes which are regular
infoldings of the plasma membrane
• Weaknesses: destroyed by actions of
alcohols, detergents and polymyxins
Fluid Mosaic Model
• Membrane is as
viscous as olive oil.
• Proteins move to
function
• Phospholipids rotate
and move laterally
Figure 4.14b
Plasma Membrane
• Damage to the membrane by alcohols,
quaternary ammonium (detergents) and
polymyxin antibiotics causes leakage of
cell contents.
Movement of Materials across
Membranes
• Simple diffusion:
Movement of a
solute from an
area of high
concentration to
an area of low
concentration
Figure 4.17a
Movement of Materials across
Membranes
• Facilitated diffusion: Solute combines
with a transporter protein in the membrane

Movement of Materials across
Membranes
• Osmosis: The
movement of water
across a selectively
permeable membrane
from an area of high
water to an area of
lower water
concentration
• Osmotic pressure:
The pressure needed
to stop the movement
of water across the
membrane
Figure 4.18a
Movement of Materials across
Membranes
• Through lipid layer
• Aquaporins (water
channels)
