|
The biggest and most important difference in bacteria is the difference in the cell cell envelope, whether it is ? or ?
|
gram+ or gram-
|
|
A ? cell has 2 layers which are the cell wall cytoplasmic membrane.

|
|
A ? cell has 3 layers which are the outer-membrane, cell wall, and cytoplasmic membrane
|
gram-
|
|
List the order in which the gram stains are applied
|
Primary stain,
Grams iodine, alcohol/decolorizer safranin |
|
Crystal violet is known as the ?
|
Primary dye
|
|
? stains everything purple, it enters the peptidoglycan layer in gram+ and gram-
|
crystal violet
|
|
Gram's iodine is known as the ? It goes into the peptidoglycan layer and forms a complex called the ? with the Crystal violet
|
mordant
CV-I complex |
|
The CV-I complex is to big to leave the peptidoglycan layer in the ? bacteria because it is so ?
|
gram+
thick |
|
Gram- cell walls are unable to hold onto the CV-I complex because they are to ? So they become ? So ? is added in the final step to give them color.
|
thin
decolored safranin |
|
? is added at the end and goes in gram+ and gram- cells but cannot be seen in the gram+ cell because it doesn't show up when mixed with the dark blue crystal violet
|
safranin
|
|
The cell walls of most bacteria gain their relatively rigid-quality from a unique macromolecule called ?
|
peptidoglycan
|
|
peptidoglycan is composed of a repeating frame-work of long ? chains, cross linked by short ? fragments to provide a
strong but flexible support frame-work that helps prevent ? |
glycan
peptide lysis |
|
Peptidoglycan only exists in ?
|
bacteria
|
|
The combination of ? and ? make it easily targeted with antibiotics
|
Essential
Unique |
|
Fungal infections are harder to kill due to cell wall ?
|
variations
|
|
Bacteria are easier to kill because of their ? peptidoglycan layer.
|
unique
|
|
Peptidoglycan is composed of a ? component and a ? component
|
protein
sugar |
|
NAG =
|
N-acetyl glucosamine
|
|
NAG
|
N-acetyl-glucosamine
|
|
NAM and NAG are two ? components of PG that do not vary
|
sugar
|
|
A Pentapeptide has ? amino acids
|
5
|
|
UDP=
|
Uridine diphosphate
|
|
The precursor subunit of PG, UDP-NAM is synthesized in the ?
|
Cytoplasm
|
|
UDP-NAM is the ? subunit of PG
|
precursor
|
|
The Bactoprenol phosphate inside the cell membrane acts as a ? molecule and carries the
NAM-NAG-pentapeptide precursor across the cell membrane. |
carrier
|
|
UDP gives off one ? to the carrier molecule Bactoprenol phosphate and becomes UMP and goes back into the cytoplasm. The NAM-Pentapeptide is now connected to the ? molecule.
|
phosphate
Bactoprenol phosphate |
|
UDP-NAG comes in from the cytoplasm and NAG is transferred to the Bactoprenol-NAM-pentapeptide to form the final ? pentapeptide precursor
|
diassacharide
|
|
The completed NAM-NAG-pentapeptide precursor is transported across the cell membrane to its ? surface by the Bactoprenol ? lipid
|
outer
carrier |
|
The completed dissacharide- pentapeptide is then transferred to the growing end of the ? chain to lengthen it by ? unit.
|
peptidoglycan
one |
|
Pentapeptides are only connected to ? in the Pentapeptide-Disaccharide chains.
|
NAM
|
|
Peptidoglycan is held together by interbridges of a cross-linkage of ? between NAM molecules only.
|
peptides
|
|
The pentapeptide-NAM-NAG molecules are connected by a process called ?
|
trans-peptidation
|
|
Trans-peptidation is the forming of ? bonds between the ? amino acid chains which form cross-bridges between NAM molecules
