Microbiology An Introduction 8th, 9th, 10th ed. San Francisco: Pearson Benjamin Cummings, 2004, 2007, 2010.General Comparisons(on handout)ProkaryoteEukaryoteThe Prokaryotic Cell-“pre-nucleus”-bacteria and archaeaSize, shape & arrangement:- 0.2-2.0µm diameter- 2-8 µm length- three shapes common:coccus = spherebacillus = rodspiral = twisted-division by binary fission: can result in daughter cells remaining loosely adhered along the division plane resulting in characteristic arrangements(arrangements on handout)Cocci-single coccus: daughter cells separate-diplococcus: 2, flat on adjacent sides-streptococci: chain, all cells divide in same plane-tetrad: 4, division occurs in two planes-sarcinae: 8, division occurs in three planes-staphylococci: group, cluster, cells divide in random planesBacilli-rods of various length: oval to “hot dog”-rods divide only along the short axis-single bacillus: daughter cells separate-diplobacilli: 2-streptobacilli: chain-coccobacillus: short oval, often confused with cocci (cocci are perfectly spherical, any ovalish shape = bacillus)Spiral-one or more twists-vibrio: curved rod-spirillum: rigid helical shape, move via flagella-spirochete: flexible helical shape, move via axial filamentsMost bacteria are monomorphic: always one shapeSome are genetically pleomorphic: have varied shapes within the population of a single speciesStructure of the Prokaryotic Cell(general cell on handout)*Not all cells have all structures!1). Glycocalyxglycocalyx = external, outermost surface layer of secreted carbohydrate-rich gelatinous material, usually sticky or slimycapsule = organized glycocalyx, firmly attached to cell wallslime layer = unorganized glycocalyx, loosely attached to cell wallglycocalyx functions:-promote biofilm formation-allow cell adhesion to substrate or host tissues-protect cell from dehydration-protect cell from nutrient loss-protect cell from phagocytosis(capsules are required for some pathogenic bacterial to be virulent)(virulence = ability to cause disease)2). Flagella-long, filamentous appendages-used for motility-arrangements:1. monotrichous: one on one end2. amphitrichous:one or more on each end3. lophotrichous:two or more on one end4. peritrichous:all over cell-structure:(handout)a. filament: -made up of intertwined chains of flagellin protein-hollow core-sticks out beyond plasma membrane and cell wallb. hook:-provides rotational movement of flagella-solid, composed of hook proteinc. basal body:-rod and disc structure-anchors flagellum to cell wallflagellum rotates to cause taxis of bacteriataxis = movement, usually toward or away from a stimulus (chemotaxis, phototaxis)Salmonella monotrichous flagellaPlay SalmonellaFlagella.movFlagella MovementsPlay flagella_movement.swfQuickTime™ and aCinepak decompressorare needed to see this picture.3). Axial Filaments-a.k.a. endoflagella-used by spirochetes for taxis-consist of flagella-like structures wound around spirocheteunder the outer sheath-rotation of filaments produces cork-screw rotation of sheath and thus whole spirochete-rotation allows penetration of secretions and tissues4). Fimbriae and Pili-short, hair-like appendages-composed of pilin proteinFimbriae: -at poles or all over surface-up to few hundred per cell-“fuzzy” coat used for adherencePili/Pilus:-usually one, if present-used to transfer DNA to neighboring cell (“conjugation/sex pilus”)-more rarely, some types used for movement via pilus retraction*twitching motilityshort, jerky*gliding motilitythrough biofilms5). Cell Wall-located outside the cell/plasma membrane-gives cell its shape-provides protection-resists osmotic lysis-provides anchorage point for flagellacomposition:-in bacteria = peptidoglycan (aka murein):-lattice of disaccharides and polypeptides-repeating disaccharide chains formed by two monosaccharides linked end to end:NAG (N-acetylglucosmine)NAM (N-acetylmuramic acid)-disaccharide chains are held together by polypeptides to form a tight wall (handout)-Two common cell wall types in bacteria:can be distinguished by a staining procedure (Gram’s Stain)(handout)1. Gram Positive Cell Walls-thick, many layers of peptidoglycan, strong, rigid-also contain teichoic acids (neg. charge, may regulate cation movement)2. Gram Negative Cell Wall-has an outer membrane-periplasmic space between outer membrane and cell membrane houses the peptidoglycan in periplasm-few layers of peptidoglycan, thinner, weaker-no teichoic acid*G-wall = outer membrane + thin peptidogycan in periplasm*G+wall = thick peptidogycan + teichoic acid-outer membrane:-composed of phospholipids, lipoproteins, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-has porins to allow exchange with environment-functions of outer membrane:-evade phagocytosis-avoid action of complement-chemical barrier: resist antibiotics, digestive enzymes, detergents, heavy metals, dyes, etc.-LPS is toxic to animals (Lipid A portion)causes endotoxic shockUnusual wall structures1. Mycobacterium species: -Gram+ structure with mycolic acids- (waxy) resists dehydration2. Mycoplasma species:-smallest bacteria-no cell wall-have sterols in membrane (resist osmotic lysis)3. Archaea-either no walls or-walls consisting of pseudomurein (different carbohydrate)-Many antimicrobial drugs target bacterial cell walls: -safe target, chemical structure not found in animalse.g. Penicillin: prevents peptide crosslinking, prevents formation of functional wall in growing cellse.g. Lysozyme: -enzyme produced by some eukaryotes-found in human secretions-digests the NAG-NAM linkages-weak wall = osmotic cell lysis-most effective against Gram+ (outer membrane protects Gram-)Penicillin effects on growing BacillusQuickTime™ and aYUV420 codec decompressorare needed to see this picture.Play CellLysis.mpg6).
