Ch 4 Functional anatomy of Bacteria and other Microbes Or The differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells Q&A • Penicillin was called a “miracle drug” because it doesn’t harm human cells. Why doesn’t it? • Proks and euks are similar in chemical composition and reaction • Proks lack membrane bound organelles • Only Proks have peptidoglycan • Euks have membrane bound organelles • Euks have paired chromosomes • Euks have histones Nick sees the difference mainly in information and structural capacity • Proks lack membrane-enclosed organelles • Euks are like a 2mhz 100gb home computer • Proks are like a calculator • Human genome 4x109 • E. coli 4x106 The prokaryote • Unicellular • Multiply by binary fission • Differentiated by – – – – – – Morphology Chemical composition Nutritional requirements Biochemical activates Sources of energy Other tests Size • 0.2 to 2um in diameter • 2-8um in length • In biological systems there are always exceptions these are general sizes. Shape Shape • Coccus – Diplococci – Streptococci – Staphylococci • Bacillus • Spiral • Other pleomorphic shapes Basic components of a bacterial cell fig 4.6 Parts not seen • Glycocalyx – Capsule – Slime layer – Extracellular polysaccharide • Function • Toxicity • Protect from phagocytosis • Allow adherence • Reduce water loss • Collect nutrients Flagella: long filamentous appendages with filament, hook and basal body • Used in movement • Can present taxis – Negative – Positive • Monotrichous • Peritrichous • Flagellar H protein acts as an antigen E.c O157:H7 • Flagellin Flagella Arrangement Figure 4.7 Fimbriae/pili • Shorter and less complex than flagella • Helps adhere to surfaces • Used for sex and communication Cell wall • Major difference between eukaryotic and prok orgs. • Surrounds plasma membrane provides protection • Peptidoglycan – Polymer of • NAG • NAM • Short amino acid chain • Production inhibited by antibiotics • Prevents osmotic damage • Damage to cw is almost always lethal except Gram Positives have large cell wall and Teichoic acids Gram neg have lipopolysaccharide Peptidoglycan • Polymer of disaccharide: – Nacetylglucosamine (NAG) – N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) Figure 4.12 Peptidoglycan in Gram-Positive Bacteria Figure 4.13a The Cell Wall • Prevents osmotic lysis • 4-7 Differentiate protoplast, spheroplast, and L form. • Made of peptidoglycan (in bacteria) • Linked by polypeptides Figure 4.6 Gram-Positive Bacterial Cell Wall Figure 4.13b Gram-Negative Bacterial Cell Wall Figure 4.13c Gram-positive Gram-positive Cell Wall Cell Wall Thin peptidoglycan • Thick peptidoglycan Outer membrane • Teichoic acids Periplasmic space Figure 4.13b–c Gram neg • Lipoprotein phospholipid outer membrane surrounding a thin peptidoglycan • Makes gram neg resistant to – Phagocytosis – Antibiotics – Chemical reactions – Enzymes (lysozyme) – Has lipid A endotoxin – O polysaccaride antigen O157:H7 E.c. Gram-Negative Outer Membrane Figure 4.13c How the gram stain works to differentiate between G+ and G- The Gram Stain (a) Gram-Positive (b) Gram-Negative Table 4.1 The 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 Gram-Positive Gram-Negative Cell Wall Cell Wall 4-ring basal body • 2-ring basal body • Disrupted by lysozyme • Penicillin sensitive Endotoxin Tetracycline sensitive Figure 4.13b–c Nontypical cell walls • Mycoplasma (acid fast) do not have ppt containing cell wall. • Archaea contain another chemical called pseudomurein Atypical Cell Walls • Acid-fast cell walls – Like gram-positive – Waxy lipid (mycolic acid) bound to peptidoglycan – Mycobacterium – Nocardia Figure 24.8 Atypical Cell Walls • Mycoplasmas – Lack cell walls – Sterols in plasma membrane • Archaea – Wall-less or – Walls of pseudomurein (lack NAM and D-amino acids) Damage to the Cell Wall • • • • Lysozyme digests disaccharide in peptidoglycan Penicillin inhibits peptide bridges in peptidoglycan Protoplast is a wall-less cell Spheroplast is a wall-less gram-positive cell – Protoplasts and spheroplasts are susceptible to osmotic lysis • L forms are wall-less cells that swell into irregular shapes Plasma membrane • Defines the living and nonliving parts of the cell – Everything on the inside is living – Everything on the outside is not living • Is selectively permeable • Workspace for enzymes of metabolic reactions • • • • Plasma Membrane Phospholipid bilayer Peripheral proteins Integral proteins Transmembrane proteins Figure 4.14b PM Workspace – Nutrient breakdown – Energy production – Photosynthesis – Afforded by mesosomes which are regular infoldings of the plasma membrane • Weaknesses: destroyed by actions of alcohols, detergents and polymyxins Fluid Mosaic Model • Membrane is as viscous as olive oil. • Proteins move to function • Phospholipids rotate and move laterally Figure 4.14b Plasma Membrane • Damage to the membrane by alcohols, quaternary ammonium (detergents) and polymyxin antibiotics causes leakage of cell contents. Movement of Materials across Membranes • Simple diffusion: Movement of a solute from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration Figure 4.17a Movement of Materials across Membranes • Facilitated diffusion: Solute combines with a transporter protein in the membrane Figure 4.17b-c Movement of Materials across Membranes ANIMATION Passive Transport: Special Types of Diffusion ANIMATION Passive Transport: Principles of Diffusion Movement of Materials across Membranes • Osmosis: The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water to an area of lower water concentration • Osmotic pressure: The pressure needed to stop the movement of water across the membrane Figure 4.18a Movement of Materials across Membranes • Through lipid layer • Aquaporins (water channels) Figure 4.17d The Principle of Osmosis Figure 4.18a–b The Principle of Osmosis Figure 4.18c–e Movement of Materials across Membranes • Active transport: Requires a transporter protein and ATP • Group translocation: Requires a transporter protein and PEP ANIMATION Active Transport: Types ANIMATION Active Transport: Overview Cytoplasm's • The liquid component of the cell within the PM • Mostly water, dissolved ions, DNA ribosomes and inclusions • Concept of homeostasis Nuclear area • Contains the bacterial chromosome • Bacteria may also have plasmids with up to 25% of the genetic materials Ribosomes Figure 4.6a Ribosomes Figure 4.19 Inclusions • Typically reserve deposits of excess materials like inorganic phosphate • Polysaccharide granules • Lipids • Sulfur • Gas • iron The Prokaryotic Ribosome • Protein synthesis • 70S – 50S + 30S subunits Figure 4.19 Magnetosomes Figure 4.20 Inclusions • Metachromatic granules (volutin) • Polysaccharide granules • Lipid inclusions • Sulfur granules • Carboxysomes • Gas vacuoles • Magnetosomes • Phosphate reserves • • • • Energy reserves Energy reserves Energy reserves Ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase for CO2 fixation • Protein-covered cylinders • Iron oxide (destroys H2O2) Endospores • Resting and waiting stage • Resistant to drying and other harsh conditions The Eukaryotic cell Comparison • • • • Flagella and cilia tubulin (9/2) arrangement Cell wall of different materials Glycocalyx Plasma membrane organelles • • • • • • • • • Nucleus ER 80s ribosomes Golgi complex Lysozymes Vacuoles Mitochondria Chloroplasts Peroxisomes Organelles • • 4-18 Define organelle. 4-19 Describe the functions of the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, vacuoles, mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and centrosomes.
