Prokaryotic Cells

• Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
  Cells
  – Prokaryote comes from the Greek words
    for prenucleus.
  – Eukaryote comes from the Greek words
    for true nucleus.
Prokaryote             Eukaryote


• One circular         • Paired
  chromosome, not in     chromosomes, in
  a membrane             nuclear membrane
• No histones          • Histones
• No organelles        • Organelles
• Peptidoglycan cell   • Polysaccharide cell
  walls                  walls
• Binary fission       • Mitotic spindle
Glycocalyx

• Outside cell wall
• Usually sticky
• A capsule is neatly
  organized
• A slime layer is
  unorganized & loose
• Extracellular
  polysaccharide
  allows cell to attach
• Capsules prevent
  phagocytosis
Cell Wall

  N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) & N-acetylmuramic acid
  (NAM)

Gram-Negative Outer Membrane
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
