The document summarizes key aspects of prokaryotic cell structure. Prokaryotic cells are typically small, have a large surface area to volume ratio, and come in a variety of shapes. They are bounded by a cell wall and membrane. The cell wall is thick and made of specialized molecules. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotes lack internal membrane-bound organelles and have a circular DNA genome not enclosed in a nucleus. Ribosomes are smaller than in eukaryotes and structures like flagella, pili, and inclusion bodies are used for motility, attachment and storage.
A fimbria (Latin for 'fringe', plural fimbriae), also referred to as an "attachment pilus" by some scientists, is an appendage that can be found on many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, that is thinner and shorter than a flagellum. This appendage ranges from 3–10 nanometers in diameter and can be up to several micrometers long. Fimbriae are used by bacteria to adhere to one another and to adhere to animal cells and some inanimate objects. A bacterium can have as many as 1,000 fimbriae. Fimbriae are only visible with the use of an electron microscope. They may be straight or flexible.
A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural: pili) is a hair-like appendage found on the surface of many bacteria and archaea.[1] The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All pili in the latter sense are primarily composed of pilin proteins, which are oligomeric.

A bacteriophage (informally, phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium. The term is derived from "bacteria" and the Greek (phagein), "to devour". Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome, and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes, and as many as hundreds of genes. Phages replicate within the bacterium following the injection of their genome into its cytoplasm. Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere.
Phages are widely distributed in locations populated by bacterial hosts, such as soil or the intestines of animals. One of the densest natural sources for phages and other viruses is sea water, where up to 9×108 virions per milliliter have been found in microbial mats at the surface,] and up to 70% of marine bacteria may be infected by phages. They have been used for over 90 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Central Europe, as well as in France. They are seen as a possible therapy against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria (see phage therapy). Nevertheless, phages of Inoviridae have been shown to complicate biofilms involved in pneumonia and cystic fibrosis, shelter the bacteria from drugs meant to eradicate disease and promote persistent infection

Bacteria are unicellular, procaryotic microorganisms which have diverse shape size and structures. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on Earth. Even the human body is full of bacteria, and in fact is estimated to contain more bacterial cells than human cells. Most bacteria in the body are harmless, and some are even helpful. A relatively small number of species cause disease.
Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures, the most noteworthy of which is the nucleus. ... While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions. In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The Structure of the Prokaryote Cell
• Small size ( 0.5 to 2um)
• Large surface area to volume ratio
• A variety of shapes
• Outer cell wall- very thick made of specialized
molecules
• Cell membranes may have a different constituency of
molecules from eukaryote cells
• Ribosomes smaller
• No organelles, no nuclear membrane
•1 ds circular loop of DNA
2sardar Hussain
3. • Procaryotic cells almost always are bounded by a chemically
complex cell wall.
• Inside this wall, and separated from it by a periplasmic space, lies
the plasma membrane.
• The genetic material is localized in a discrete region, the nucleoid,
and is not separated from the surrounding cytoplasm by
membranes.
• Ribosomes and larger masses called inclusion bodies are
scattered about in the cytoplasmic matrix.
• Both gram-positive and gram-negative cells can use flagella for
locomotion.
• In addition, many cells are surrounded by a capsule or slime
layer external to the cell wall.
3sardar Hussain
6. Cell wall
• The cell wall is the layer, usually fairly rigid, that
lies just outsidethe plasma membrane.
• Give them shape and protect them from osmotic
lysis;
• The cell walls of many pathogens have
components that contribute to their
pathogenicity.
• The wall can protect a cell from toxic substances
and is the site of action of several antibiotics.
• Peptidoglycan-the most important molecule in
the cell walls of bacteria
6sardar Hussain
7. GRAM POSITIVE CELL WALL
• The gram-positive cell wall consists of a single
20 to 80 nm thick homogeneous
peptidoglycan or murein layer lying outside
the plasma membrane
• the gram-negative cell wall is quite complex. It
has a 2 to 7 nm peptidoglycan layer
surrounded by a 7 to 8 nm thick outer
membrane.
7sardar Hussain
8. • Peptidoglycan or murein is an enormous polymer
composed of many identical subunits. The
polymer contains two sugar derivatives, N-
acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid
(the lactyl ether of N-acetylglucosamine), and
several different amino acids, three of which—D-
glutamic acid, D-alanine, and meso-
diaminopimelic acid
8sardar Hussain
10. Gram + cell wall
• Homogeneous cell wall of gram-positive
bacteria is composed primarily of
peptidoglycan, which often contains a peptide
interbridge
• The teichoic acids are connected to either the
peptidoglycan by a covalent bond with N-
acetylmuramic acid or to plasma membrane
lipids are called lipoteichoic acids.
10sardar Hussain
12. Gram – cell wall
• The outer membrane lies outside the thin
peptidoglycan layer
• The most abundant membrane protein is Braun’s
lipoprotein,covalently joined to the underlying
peptidoglycan and embedded in the outer membrane
by its hydrophobic end.
• constituents of the outer membrane are its
lipopolysaccharides
• outer membrane is more permeable than the plasma
• membrane due to the presence of special porin
proteins
12sardar Hussain
14. Capsules, Slime Layers, and S-Layers
• Some bacteria have a layer of material lying outside the cell wall. When the layer is well
organized and not easily washed off, it is called a capsule.
• A slime layer is a zone of diffuse, unorganized material that is removed easily
• Many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria have a regularly structured layer called an S-
layer on their surface
• The S layer has a pattern something like floor tiles and is composed of protein or glycoprotein
• In gram-negative bacteria the S-layer adheres directly to the outer membrane; it is associated
• with the peptidoglycan surface in gram-positive bacteria.
• It may protect the cell against ion and pH fluctuations, osmotic stress, enzymes, or the
predacious bacterium Bdellovibrio. The S-layer also helps maintain the shape and envelope
rigidity of at least some bacterial cells. It can promote cell adhesion to surfaces.
14sardar Hussain
15. Pili and Fimbriae
• Many gram-negative bacteria have short, fine, hairlike appendages
that are thinner than flagella and not involved in motility. These are
usually called fimbriae
• Pilus are similar appendages, about 1 to 10 per cell, that differ
from fimbriae in the following ways.
• Pili often are larger than fimbriae (around 9 to 10 nm in diameter).
• They are genetically determined by sex factors or conjugative
plasmids and are required for bacterial mating.
• Some bacterial viruses attach specifically to receptors on sex pili at
the start of their reproductive cycle.
15sardar Hussain
16. Flagella and Motility
• Motile bacteria move by use of flagella
• Threadlike locomotor appendages extending
outward from the plasma membrane and cell
wall.
• They are slender, rigid structures,about 20 nm
across and up to 15 or 20 m long.
16sardar Hussain
18. FLAGELLA
Flagella is a hair like structure.
Flagellar filaments are made of subunits of a
single protein-flagellin.
The transmission electron microscope studies
have shown that flagellum is composed of three
parts.
Filament-extend from cell surface to the tip.
Basal body-embeded in the cell.
Hook.
18sardar Hussain
19. FLAGELLA CONTD...
Filament is a hollow rigid cylinder made of
flagellin,
Hook is curved portion, slightly wider than
filament.
Basal body is the most complex part of a
flagellum.
It differs in Gram positive and Gram negative
bacteria.
19sardar Hussain
20. CONT..D
• The basal body of gram negative bacteria has four
rings connected to a central rod.
• A pair of ring embeded in cell membrane(M ring
and S ring) and another pair associated with the
cell wall(L ring and P ring).
The outer L and P rings associated with
lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan
respectively.
The inner M ring-plasma membrane and S ring-
near periplasmic space
20sardar Hussain
22. CONT..D
• The Gram positive bacteria have only two
rings in their basal body.
The inner M ring-connected to plasma
membrane.
The outer S ring-attached to peptidoglycan.
Since Gram positive bacteria lack the outer
pair of rings, it is assumed that only the inner
rings are essential for flagellar motion.
22sardar Hussain
23. The Bacterial Endospore
• A number of gram-positive bacteria can form a
special resistant, dormant structure called an
endospore.
• Endospores develop within vegetative bacterial
cells of several genera: Bacillus and Clostridium
(rods), Sporosarcina (cocci), and others.
• Spore formation, sporogenesis or sporulation,
normally commences when growth ceases due to
lack of nutrients.
23sardar Hussain
24. The Plasma Membrane
• Membranes contain both proteins and lipids
• Bacterial plasma membranes usually have a higher proportion
of protein than do eucaryotic membranes
• lipids form a bilayer in membranes
• Bacterial membranes lack sterols such as cholesterol
• Cell membranes are very thin structures, about 5 to 10 nm
thick
24sardar Hussain
26. Internal Membrane Systems
• Does not contain complex membranous organelles like
mitochondria or chloroplasts
• Mesosomes are invaginations of the plasma membrane in the
shape of vesicles, tubules, or lamellae
• Thus they may be involved in cell wall formation during
division or play a role in chromosome replication and
distribution to daughter cells.
26sardar Hussain
27. Inclusion Bodies
• A variety of inclusion bodies, granules of organic or inorganic
material are present in the cytoplasmic matrix
• Used for storage (e.g., carbon compounds, inorganic
substances, and energy), and also reduce osmotic pressure by
tying up molecules in particulate form. for example,
polyphosphate granules, cyanophycin granules, and some
glycogen granules.
• Examples of membrane-enclosed(single layer) inclusion
bodies are poly--hydroxybutyrate granules, some glycogen
and sulfur granules, carboxysomes, and gas vacuoles.
27sardar Hussain
28. CONT..D
• Cyanophycin granules (present in many cyanobacteria) are
composed of large polypeptides containing approximately
equal amounts of the amino acids arginine and aspartic acid.
• The granules store extra nitrogen for the bacteria.
• Carboxysomes are present in many cyanobacteria, nitrifying
bacteria, and thiobacilli.
• They are polyhedral, about 100 nm in diameter, and contain
the enzyme ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase in a
paracrystalline arrangement.
• They serve as a reserve of this enzyme and may be a site of
CO2 fixation.
28sardar Hussain
29. CONT...D..
• Gas vacuole -organic inclusion body present in many
cyanobacteria , purple and green photosynthetic bacteria, and
a few other aquatic forms such as Halobacterium and
Thiothrix. Gas vacuoles give them buoyancy.
• Gas vacuoles are aggregates of enormous numbers of small,
hollow, cylindrical structures called gas vesicles.
• Gas vesicle walls are composed entirely of a single small
protein. These protein subunits assemble to form
• a rigid enclosed cylinder that is hollow an impermeable to
water but freely permeable to atmospheric gases.
29sardar Hussain
30. INCLUSIONS BODIES, CONT..D
• Polyphosphate granules or volutin granules
• volutin granules function as storage reservoirs for phosphate,
an important component of cell constituents such as nucleic
acids.
• In some cells they act as an energy reserve, and
polyphosphate can serve as an energy source in reactions.
• These granules are sometimes called metachromatic
granules
• Magnetosome is used by some bacteria to orient in the
earth’s magnetic field. These inclusion bodies contain iron in
the form of magnetite
30sardar Hussain
32. Ribosomes
• Ribosomes loosely attached to the plasma
membrane. (70S ribosomes)
• Made of both protein and ribonucleic acid
(RNA).
• They are the site of protein synthesis;
• Matrix ribosomes synthesize proteins destined
to remain within the cell,
• Plasma membrane ribosomes make proteins
for transport to the outside.
32sardar Hussain
33. Nucleoid
• Procaryotic chromosome is located in an irregularly
shaped region called the nucleoid
• composed of about 60% DNA, 30% RNA, and 10%
protein by weight
• procaryotes contain a single circle of double-
stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), but some
have a linear DNA chromosome.
33sardar Hussain
34. PLASMIDS
• Many bacteria possess plasmids in addition to their
chromosome.
• These are double-stranded DNA molecules, usually circular,
that can exist and replicate independently of the chromosome
or may be integrated with it(epoisomes)
• In both case they normally are inherited or passed on to the
progeny.
• Plasmid genes can render bacteria drug-resistant, give them
new metabolic abilities, make them pathogenic, or endow
them with a number of other properties.
