3) We discussed the features that differentiate prokaryotes from eukaryotes in class and mentioned prokaryotes that have unusual features. The following prokaryotic outliers; Thiomargarita namibiensis, Planctomyces bekefii, Epulopiscium fishelsoni, Mycoplasma genitalium and Nanoarchaeum equitans have unusual features that made their classification challenging. A. How do the features of these organisms characterize them as prokaryotes? Use the cell size, gram reaction, cell wall type, presence of nucleoid, capsule, pili, fimbriae and other characteristics that we talked about to explain how we know that these organisms are prokaryotes. B. Indicate if the prokaryotes are bacteria or archaea. C. Besides their size, describe one major unusual feature found in each of the five organisms.
