Question
Chapter 49, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Difference between enteric and pseudomonads.
Introduction:
Bacteria are biological cells that are prokaryotic in nature. They are the first living form to occur on the Earth and are found in most of the habitats. The length of bacteria varies a lot and they can be rod, spherical, or spiral in shape.

I am doing my microbiology homework and I need help with these questions:
1) List the structures ALL bacteria possess.
2) Identify three structures SOME but not all bacteria possess.
5) Describe the structure and function of three different structures found outside of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
6) Differentiate between the two main types of bacterial envelope structures.
7) Why are Gram-positive cell walls stronger than Gram-negative cell walls?
8) Name a substance in the envelope of SOME bacteria that can cause severe symptoms in humans.
9) Describe the causes of sporogenesis and germination
10) Compare and contrast the major features of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes by completing the table below.

Peptidoglycan in Cell wall
There are five major clades of bacteria. List three of them and provide their general characteristics and at least one example for each group.
After completion of a Gram stain procedure, you notice the bacteria cells shown in the picture
below. How would you categorize the bacteria based on 1. Gram stain results, 2. Cell
arrangement, and 3. cell shape.?
Would the bacteria in question 7 have a thick layer of peptidoglycan or a thin layer of
peptidoglycan in its cell wall?
Would the bacteria in question 7 have an outer lipopolysaccharide layer in its cell wall?
Would the antibiotic penicillin likely work to eliminate infection with the bacteria in question 7?
How would you describe the type of flagella arrangement for the bacterium below? (You'll use
one word for the description here.)

- Why is the fact that Pseudomonas species can grow in nutrient-poorenvironments medically important?arrow_forwardGram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membrane bilayers separated by a space termed the periplasm. The periplasm is a multipurpose compartment separate from the cytoplasm. The periplasm has a distinct oxidizing environment that allow certain key protein structural features to be formed. Can you identify an amino acid(s) that would be affected by this oxidizing environment? How would it be affected, and what structural features would be sensitive to this environment? Can you discuss the implications of this from a standpoint of recombinant protein expression?arrow_forwardYou perform a Gram staining technique on two bacterial species and observe that one is stained purple while the other is stained pink. Which of the following is consistent with this observation? a) The purple one is likely more resistant to penicillin b) Both bacteria have a cell wall made of mycolic acid c) Their peptidoglycan layers have the same thickness d) They differ in the number of phospholipid membranes e) One has a monolayer of phospholipids while the other has a bilayer of phospholipidsarrow_forward
