Transcript Effect of osmotic pressure on cells

Bacterial Cell Structure (continued)
You are here.
Peptidoglycan structure
2
•Bacteria typically face
hypotonic
environments
•Peptidoglycan
provides support,
Limits expansion of
cell membrane
•Bacteria need other
protection from
hypertonic situations
Gram negative cell wall
3
Outer membrane
• Lipid bilayer membrane
– Inner and outer leaflets
• Inner leaflet made of phospholipids; outer leaflet is
made of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
• LPS = endotoxin
– Proteins for transport of substances
• Porins: transmembrane proteins
– Barrier to diffusion of various substances
• Lipoprotein: anchors outer membrane to PG
4
5
Structure of LPS
extends from cell
surface.
contains odd sugars
e.g. KDO.
Gln-P and fatty acids
take the place of
phospholipids.

Periplasmic Space

6
Periplasmic space:
• A lot like cytoplasm, with
–
–
–
–
Peptidoglycan layer
Proteins that aid in transport
Proteins that break down molecules
Proteins that help in synthesis.
7
Glycocalyx: capsules and slime layers
“Sugar covering”: capsules are firmly
attached, slime layers are loose.
Multiple advantages to cells:
prevent dehydration
absorb nutrients
cell
capsule
protection from predators, WBCs
protection from biocides (as part of biofilms)
attachment to surfaces and site of attachment by others.
S-layers are highly structured protein layers that function like
capsules

8
Fimbriae and pili
Both are appendages made of
protein
Singular: fimbria, pilus
Both used for attachment
Fimbriae: to surfaces (incl. host
cells) and other bacteria.
Pili: to other bacteria for
exchanging DNA (“sex”).

Flagella
10
•Flagella: protein appendages for
swimming through liquid or across wet
surfaces.
•Rotate like propellers.
•Different from eukaryotic flagella.
Arrangements on cells:
polar,
Lophotrichous,
amphitrichous,
peritrichous.

Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic flagella
11
Prokaryotic flagella:
•Made of protein subunits
•Protrude through cell wall and
cell membrane.
•Stiff, twirl like a propeller
Eukaryotic flagella:
•A bundle (9+2) of
microtubules (made of protein)
•Covered by cell membrane
•Whipping action

Chemotaxis
• Bacteria change how they move in
response to chemicals
• Bacteria move toward attractants
(e.g. nutrients).
• Bacteria move away from
repellants.
• In this figure, bacteria use up
nutrients in the agar, then move
outward to where more nutrients
are, producing rings of growth.

Runs and Tumbles: bacteria find their way

14
Spirochetes have internal flagella
• Axial filament: a bundle of internal flagella
– Between cell membrane and outer membrane
in spirochetes
– Filament rotates, bacterium corkscrews
through medium
Some bacteria move without flagella
• Gliding
– No visible structures, requires solid surface
– Slime usually involved.

Gliding Motility
16
Movement on a solid surface.
No visible organelles of locomotion.
Cells produce, move in slime trails.
Unrelated organism glide:
myxobacteria, flavobacteria,
cyanobacteria; appear to glide by
different mechanisms.
Cells glide in groups, singly, and
can reverse directions.

From the membrane in: the bacterial cytoplasm
17
• Cytoplasm is a gel made of
water, salts, LMW molecules,
and lots of proteins.
• DNA = nucleoid, w/ proteins
• Plasmids = small circular DNA
• Ribosomes: site of protein
synthesis.
Cytoplasm may also contain inclusions, gas vacuoles,
extended membrane systems, or magnetosomes.
But generally NO membrane-bound organelles.
18
Inclusions and granules
• Storage molecules found as small
bodies within cytoplasm.
• Can be organic (e.g. PHB or
glycogen) or inorganic (Sulfur,
polyphosphate.
– PHB, a type of PHA, degradable
plastic (polyester); glycogen, a
polymer of glucose.
– Sulfur, a metabolic by-product;
polyphosphate, polymer of PO4

Magnetosomes
Membrane coated pieces of
magnetite, assist bacteria in
moving to microaerophilic
environments. An organelle?

How things get in (and out) of cells
• Eukaryotic cells
– Have transport proteins in membrane
– Have a cytoskeleton made of microtubules
• Allows for receptor mediated endocytosis,
phagotcytosis, etc.
• Cell membrane pinches in, creates vesicle
• Prokaryotic cells
– Have very little cytoskeleton
– Can NOT carry out endocytosis
– Entry of materials into cell by diffusion or
transport processes ONLY.

Illustrations: entry into cells
Only eukaryotes.
Both prokaryotes and
eukaryotes.

22
How molecules get through the membrane
Small molecules like
gases can diffuse
through the bilayer.
Larger or more
hydrophilic molecules
require transport
proteins.
Active transport
requires
metabolic energy.
