Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Bacteria are Prokaryotes – No nucleus or
organelles bound in membranes
DNA is a single circular chromosome
No Histones associated with DNA
Cell Walls of peptidoglycan (polymer of NAG
and NAM cross-linked with polypeptide chain)
Smaller ribosome unit
Divide by binary fission (not mitosis)

Bacterial Chromosme in “nucleoid area”
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Bacterial chromosome and an extra-chromosomal “plasmid”
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Smaller ribosome than eukaryotes, same function: protein
synthesis
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Bacteria divide by “binary fission”
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Eukaryotes – “true nucleus”, and membrane bound organelles
DNA is membrane bound, inside nucleus, nuclear membrane is a double
membrane
Chromosomes are usually multiple (paired), and have special histone
protein associated with the DNA molecules
Membrane bound “organelles”: packages where specialized functions
take place: mitochondria, lysosome, ER, Golgi, etc.
Cell wall if present is chemically simple (cellulose, or chitin)
Slightly larger ribosome
Cells divide by a process like mitosis (and can have meiosis too)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Typical Eukaryote cell Diagram: More in
chapter 5
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Bacterial appendages: Pilli (fimbriae) and Flagella
Pilli are short, hair-like, protein: function “adherence” – stick
to each other, stick to surfaces, harder to wash away
Specialized “sex” pilus - conjugation
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
Flagella: complex organ of motility, a “motor” VERY COOL
A = monotrichous B = amphitrichous C = lophotrichous D = peritrichous
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Bacterial “Envelope” – Structures on the outside of
bacteria:
• Glycocalyx – sugar coat, if tightly bound = capsule
– Protects and prevents from drying, also protects from
phagocytes
– Slimy, and often a significant component of “biofilms”
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Outer membrane (outside of cell wall) found in Gram (-)
bacteria
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Outer membrane (outside of cell wall) found in Gram (-) bacteria
• Gram – bacteria have LPS (lipopolysaccharide), lipoprotein, and
phospholipids
• These can cause some of the symptoms of Gram – bacterial
infections (fever, shock, diarrhea)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Bacterial Cell Wall – macromolecule, polysaccharide, repeating
sugars, NAG and NAM, cross-linked with shot chains of Amino Acids
• “Peptidoglycan, aka: murein”
• Tough outer coat, prevents rupture, protects cell, gives it its distinct
shape
• Certain antibiotics work by inhibiting cell wall synthesis (penicillins)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Bacterial Cell Wall
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Gram + and Gram – bacteria have differences in Cell Wall and outer
envelope (the theory of why the grams stain works is based on this
difference)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Gram + and Gram – bacteria have differences in Cell Wall and outer
envelope (the theory of why the grams stain works is based on this
difference) Gram – are less sensitive to penicillin as a result of
thinner CW and outer membrane
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Grams stain = a differential stain procedure, different results, + and
(-)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Grams stain = a differential stain procedure, different results, + and
(-)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Gram negative cell envelope much more complicated
than Gram +: lipid, phospholipid, lipid A, peiplasmic
space (fluid filled area between cell wall and outer
membrane), various protein porons
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Bacterial cell “shapes” A=bacillus or pl. bacilli B= round, coccus,
cocci pl., in chains “Streptococcus) C. Staphylococcus – clusters
D= diplococcus E=Spirillum, spirilla pl. (spirochete is a corkscrew
shape – not shown) F= vibrio, more comma shaped
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Cell shape is determined by the genetic
character of the organism. Its genes code for
the synthesis of the CW material and the cell
division mechanism that results in a “round” or
“rod” or “spiral” shape
• One of the criteria used in ID of bacteria
• Coupled with gram reaction = helpful
– Ex. Gram + cocci in clusters is “Staphylococcus”
Gram (-) bacilli, motile, green sheen on EMB is E.coli
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Bacterial cell membrane: regulates what moves in and
out of the cytoplasm
• Diffusion –concentration gradients > high to low
• Osmosis – diffusion of water across a semipermeable
membrane
– Isotonic
– Hypertonic
– Hypotonic ***REVIEW ON YOUR OWN***
– Passive transport
– Active transport
– Engulfment (phagocytosis, pinocytosis)
– Specialized group translocation
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Inside the bacterial cytoplasm
• Nuceloid – area containing the bacterial chromosome
(DNA)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Inside the bacterial cytoplasm
• Plasmid – Extrachromosomal DNA, not part of “genome”, different
genes
• Can transfer in a process – conjugation across sex pilus, change the
genetic character of the recipient
• Tool of “genetic”engineer
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Inside the bacterial cytoplasm
• Ribosomes: structure made of RNA, site of protein synthesis
• Some antibiotics work by messing with the “ribosome”
• Slightly smaller than our eukaryote ribosome, so antibiotic can work
on bacteria but not affect us (selective toxicity)
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Inside the bacterial cytoplasm
• Inclusions: granules of sugar, lipid storage, etc. (storage)
• Endospores (Genus: Bacillus and Clostridium) Hardiest of bacterial
structures. Difficult to kill with heat or chemical. Autoclave: 121
degree C, 15 lbs/sq. in. pressure – to penetrate thick coat and
destroy genome of bacteria. Purpose: survival not reproduction
• Inclusions:
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Inside the bacterial cytoplasm More spores:
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Taxonomy and Bacteria: Yucch!!!!!!
• We use Bergey’s Manual for rapid ID of bacteria. Started in the
• 1940’s, before a lot of modern tech. invented
Microbiology – Chapter 4, Bacteria
• Taxonomy and Bacteria: Yucch!!!!!!
• We use Bergey’s Manual: Based on 3 primary things:
• 1. Cell Wall (or lack of cell wall) – Gram reaction (+) or (-)
• 2. Cell Morphology (shape) Bacillus, Coccus, Spirillum, Vibrio
• 3. Biochemical characteristics: sugars they ferment, enzymes like
catalase and oxidase, decarboxylase, etc.
• More modern techniques used today to get very specific “strains”
– Serological groups (antigen - antibody reactions)
– DNA hybridization studies Ex. E.coli 0157H7 or
– DNA fingerprinting Azotobacter vinelandii 12837
– Bacterial viruses (phage typing)

• Flow charts are useful – we will use them in our unknowns
