The document summarizes the structure of bacteria. It discusses that bacteria have no organelles and carry out all activities within the cell. It then describes the three main categories of bacterial structure:
1) Internal structures like the cytoplasm, nucleoid, plasmids, and ribosomes.
2) The cell envelope including the cell membrane, cell wall, and outer membrane in gram-negative bacteria.
3) External structures such as flagella, fimbriae, and capsule layers.

Background
Biologists have long organized living things into large groups called kingdoms.
There are six of them:
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Some recent findings…
In 1996, scientists decided to split Monera into two groups of bacteria:
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Because these two groups of bacteria were different in many ways scientists created a new level of classification called a DOMAIN.
Now we have 3 domains
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
KingdomArchaebacteria
Any of a large group of primitive bacteria having unusual cell walls, membrane lipids, ribosomes, and RNA sequences, and having the ability to produce methane and to live in anaerobic, extremely hot, salty, or acidic conditions
The Domain Archaea
“ancient” bacteria
Some of the first archaebacteria were discovered in Yellowstone National Park’s hot springs
Prokaryotes are structurally simple, but biochemically complex
Basic Facts
They live in extreme environments (like hot springs or salty lakes) and normal environments (like soil and ocean water).
All are unicellular (each individual is only one cell).
No peptidoglycan in their cell wall.
Some have a flagella that aids in their locomotion.
Most don’t need oxygen to survive
They can produce ATP (energy) from sunlight
They can survive enormous temperature extremes
They can survive under rocks and in ocean floor vents deep below the ocean’s surface
They can tolerate huge pressure differences
STRUCTURE
Size
Archaea are slightly less than 1 micron long.
A micron is 1/1,000 of a millimeter.
In order to see their cellular features, scientists use powerful electron microscopes.
Shape
Shapes can be spherical or ball shaped and are called coccus.
Others are rod shaped, long and thin, and labeled bacillus.
Variations of cells have been discovered in square and triangular shapes.
STRUCTURE
Locomotion
Some archaea have flagella, hair-like structures that assist in movement.
There can be one or many attached to the cell's outer membrane. Protein networks can also be found on the cell membrane, which allow cells to attach themselves in groups.
Cell Features
Within the cell membrane, the archaea cell contains cytoplasm and DNA, which are in single-looped forms called plasmids.
Most archaeal cells also have a semi-rigid cell wall that helps it to maintain its shape and chemical balance.
This protects the cytoplasm, which is the semi-liquid gel that fills the cell and enables the various parts to function.
STRUCTURE
Phospholipids
The molecules that make up cell membranes are called phospholipids, which act as building blocks for the cell.
In archaea, these molecules are made of glycerol-ether lipids.
Ether Bonding
The ether bonding makes it possible for archaea to survive in environments that are extremely acidic or al

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA
• Smaller and simpler in structure than eukaryotic
cells, with no recognizable organelles.
• All of the activities performed by organelles also
take place in bacteria, but they are not carried out
by specialized structures.
• The small size, simple design, and broad metabolic
capabilities of bacteria allow them to grow and
divide very rapidly and to inhabit and flourish in
almost any environment.
3. STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA
• They were first seen under a microscope by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1676.
• As microscopes have improved, scientists have come to understand bacterial cell structure
better.
It has organized into 3 categories :
1. Internal Structures: Cytoplasm,
nucleoid, bacterial
chromosome, plasmid,
ribosomes, and storage
granules
2. Cell envelope: cell membrane,
peptidoglycan cell wall or an
outer lipid membrane (only
found in Gram-negative cells)
3. External structures
(appendages & coverings):
flagella, fimbriae, sex pilus
and glycocalyx
5. Cytoplasm
• Portion of the cell that lies within the PM
• substances within the plasma membrane, excluding the genetic
material.
• Gel-like matrix composed of mostly water(4/5 th ), enzymes,
nutrients, wastes, and gases
• Contains cell structures - ribosomes, chromosome, and plasmids , as
well as the components necessary for bacterial metabolism.
• carries out very important functions for the cell -
growth, metabolism, and replication .
Constituents -- Proteins including enzymes
– Vitamins
– Ions
– Nucleic acids and their precursors
– Amino acids and their precursors
– Sugars, carbohydrates and their derivatives
– Fatty acids and their derivatives
6. Nucleoid
• Unlike the eukaryotic (true) cells, bacteria do not
have a membrane enclosed nucleus.
• The nucleoid is a region of cytoplasm where the
chromosomal DNA is located.
• It is not a membrane bound nucleus, but simply an
area of the cytoplasm where the strands of DNA
are found.
7. Plasmids
• small extra-chromosomal DNA
• contain genes for antibiotic resistance or virulence.
• Structure- Similar to most bacterial chromosomes, but considerably
smaller.
• plasmids are covalently closed circular DNA
• In a few species linear plasmids have been found.
• Size : Chromosomal DNA is typically about 4000 kb,
• plasmid DNA ranges from 1-200 kb.
• Number of plasmids: 1-700 copies of plasmid in a cell.
• Plasmids are not involved in reproduction.
• Plasmids replicate independently of the chromosome.
• Plasmids are passed to other bacteria by two means.
8. • The function of plasmids is not always known, but they are not
normally essential for survival of host, although
their presence generally gives the host some advantage.
• Antibiotic resistance - Some plasmids code for proteins that degrade
antibiotics-a big advantage for pathogens.
• Some encode for proteins which confer virulence factors on the
host. For example- E. coli plasmid Ent P307 codes for an
enterotoxin which makes E. coli pathogenic.
• Conjugative plasmids - These allow exchange of DNA between
bacterial cells.
• Plasmids and the associated traits can be transferred between
bacteria, even from one bacterial species to another.
• For most plasmid types, copies in the cytoplasm are passed on to
daughter cells during binary fission.
Plasmids
9. Ribosomes- protein synthesis machinery
• Consists of RNA and protein
• Abundant in cytoplasm
• Often grouped in long chains called
polyribosomes.
• give the cytoplasm of bacteria a granular
appearance in EM.
• smaller than the ribosomes in eukaryotic
cells-but have a similar function
• Bacterial ribosomes have sedimentation
rate of 70S; their subunits have rates of
30S and 50S.
• The unit used to measure sedimentation
velocity is Svedberg
10. Bacterial Chromosome - Genophore
• The bacterial chromosome consists of a single,
circle of deoxyribonucleic acid.
• DNA is double stranded- two strands line up
antiparrallel to each other and the bases are
linked together with hydrogen bonds.
• It includes most of the genetic material of the
organism .
• In many bacteria the DNA is present as a single,
circular chromosome and in some cases the DNA
is linear rather than circular.
11. Inclusion bodies
• Inclusion bodies: Bacteria can have within their cytoplasm a variety
of small bodies collectively referred to as inclusion bodies.
• Some are called granules and other are called vesicles.
• Inclusions are considered to be nonliving components of the cell
that do not possess metabolic activity and are not bounded by
membranes.
• The most common inclusions are glycogen, lipid droplets,
crystals, and pigments.
• Some aquatic photosynthetic bacteria and cyano bacteria have rigid gas-filled
vacuoles and it helps in floating at a certain level - allowing them to move up or
down into water layers with different light intensities and nutrient levels.
• Some magnetotactic bacterium, eg. Aquaspirillium magnetotacticum , stores
Magnetitite (Ferric oxide). The presence of such magnetic inclusions enables
these bacteria to responds to magnetic fields.
13. Plasma Membrane
• Phospholipid bilayer surrounding the cytoplasm and regulates the
flow of substances in and out of the cell.
• Consists of both lipids and proteins.
• Protects the cell from its surroundings.
• Selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls
the movement of substances in and out.
• numerous proteins moving within or upon this layer are primarily
responsible for transport of ions, nutrients and waste across the
membrane.
14. Periplasmic space
• Gram-negative bacteria : space between the cytoplasmic
membrane and the cell wall and space found between cell
wall and the outer membrane
• Periplasm may constitute up to 40% of the total cell
volume in G-ve species.
• Gram-positive bacteria : space between the
cytoplasmic membrane and the cell wall.
• The periplasm is filled with water and proteins and is
reminiscent of the cytoplasm.
• Function - functions in cellular processes including:
transport, degradation, and motility.
• Periplasm controls molecular traffic entering and leaving
the cell.
15.
16. Cell wall
• Outer covering of most cells that protects the bacterial cell
and gives it shape (spherical, rod and spiral).
• Composed of peptidoglycan (polysaccharides + protein)
• Mycoplasma are bacteria that have no cell wall and
therefore have no definite shape.
Peptidoglycan =
(polysaccharides
+ protein)
17. • The rigid structure of peptidoglycan gives the bacterial
cell shape, surrounds the plasma membrane and
provides prokaryotes with protection from the
environment
• Going further out, the bacterial world divides into two
major classes: Gram-positive and Gram-negative .
Cell wall
18. Peptidoglycan = (polysaccharides + protein),
• Peptidoglycan (murein) - huge polymer of
interlocking chains composed of similar
monomers.
• peptidoglycan is made from
polysaccharide chains cross-linked by
peptides containing D-amino acids
• The backbone of the
peptidoglycan molecule is
composed of two derivatives of
glucose:
N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)
N-acetlymuramic acid (NAM).
• Amino acid (Protein) are:
L- Alanine, D- Alanine, D-Glutamic acid & Meso-
Daiaminopalinilic acid

21. Gram-positiveCells
• G+ve bacteria
possess
thick cell wall containing
many layers of
peptidoglycan and
teichoic acids.
• In G+ ve cells,
peptidoglycan is the
outermost structure
and makes up as much
as 90% of the thick
compact cell wall.
• G-ve bacteria have relatively thin
cell wall consisting of few layers
of peptidoglycan surrounded by a
second lipid membrane
containing lipopolysaccharides
and lipoproteins
• Peptidoglycan makes up only
5 – 20% of the cell wall and
is not the outermost layer,
but lies between the plasma
membrane and an outer
membrane.
Gram-negative cell
22. Outer membrane
• Similar to the plasma membrane, but is less permeable .
• This membrane has tiny holes or openings called porins.
• Porins block the entrance of harmful chemicals and antibiotics,
making G-ve bacteria much more difficult to treat than G+ve cells.
• Composed of lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
• LPS is a harmful substance classified as an endotoxin.
• Lipopolysaccharides, which acts as an endotoxin, are composed of
polysaccharides and lipid A (responsible for much of the toxicity of
G-ve bacteria).
• These differences in structure can produce differences in antibiotic
susceptibility
• Ex: vancomycin can kill only Gram +ve bacteria and is ineffective
against Gram -ve pathogens, such as Haemophilus influenzae or
Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
24. Flagella
• Singular: flagellum
• Long, whip-like semi-rigid cylindrical structures that aids in cellular
locomotion
• Function much like the propeller on a ship.
• about 20 nm in diameter and up to 20 micromtsin length.
• Diameter of a prokaryotic flagellum is about 1/10 th of that of eukaryotic.
• Flagella are driven by the energy released by the transfer of ions down an
electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane.
• The flagella beat in a propeller-like motion to help the bacterium move
toward nutrients; away from toxic chemicals; towards the light
(photosynthetic cyanobacteria).
• Prokaryotes exhibit a variety of movements:
move , swim ,tumble ,glide, swarm in response to environmental stimuli.
25. • Made up of protein subunits called flagellin.
• Each flagellum is attached to cell membrane with
the help of proteins other than flagellin.
• The basal region has a hook like structure and a
complex basal body. The basal body consists of a
central rod or shaft surrounded by a set of rings.
Bacterial spp differ in the number and arrangement
of flagella on their surface.
• Bacteria may have one, a few, or many
flagella in different positions on the cell.
• Monotrichous - single flagellum
• amphitrichous a flagellum at each end
lophotrichous - clusters of flagella at the
poles of the cell
• peritrichous - flagella distributed over the
entire surface of the cell .
26.
27. FIMBRIAE AND PILI
• Hollow, hair like structures made of protein
• Involved in attachment to solid surfaces or to other cells and are
essential for the virulence of some bacterial pathogens.
• Fimbriae fine filaments of protein just 2–10 nm in diameter and
up to several micrometers in length.
• They are distributed over the surface of the cell, and resemble
fine hairs when seen under the electron microscope.
• Pili: (sing. pilus) are cellular appendages, slightly larger than
fimbriae
• Involved in attachment to surfaces.
• Specialized pili, the sex pili, allows the transfer of genetic material
from one bacteria to another in a process called conjugation where
they are called conjugation pili or "sex pili".
• type IV pili - generate movement.
• Helps in colonization and pathogenicity.
