Bacterial groups that lack the cell wall structure of gram+ and gram- bacteria are said to have ? cell walls.
Non-typical
Non-typical cell walls can stain +or- in the ? stain.
gram
Mycobacterium and Nocardia stain gram ? and contain peptidoglycan, but the bulk of their cell wall is composed of unique types of lipids
+
A very long chain fatty acid in Mycobacterium and Nocardia is ? that contributes to the pathogenicity of this group
mycolic acid
Mycobacterium are bacteria that are determined by an ? staining technique used to diagnose ? and ?
acid-fast
tuberculosis
leprosy
Hot ? fuchsin dye is held fast(tenaciously) to these cells so that an ?-? solution will not remove the dye
carbol
acid/alcohol
Acid-fast bacteria stain ? in color
Pink
Non-Acid-fast bacteria stain ? in color
Blue
Archae exhibit ? and chemically ? cell walls. Some are composed of almost entirely of ? and others are pure ? They all lack a true ? structure
unusual
distinct
polysaccharides
protein
peptidoglycan
Because a few archaea and all mycoplasms lack a cell wall entirely, their cell membrane must serve the dual functions of ? and ?
support
transport
? have no cell walls
Mycoplasmas
Mycoplasma cell membrane is stabilized by ? and is resistant to ?
sterols
lysis
Mycoplasmas are very small ?
bacteria
Mycoplasmas range in shape from ? to ?
filamentous
coccus
Mycoplasmas are not ? parasites, so they don't need a host.
obligate
Mycoplasmas can be grown on ? media
artificial
Mycoplasmas can be found in many ?
habitats
An important medical species of mycoplasma is Mycoplasma- ?
pneumonia
Bacteria that lose their cell wall during part of their life cycle are called?
L-forms
L-forms can arise naturally from a ? in the wall forming genes
mutation
L-forms can be induced ? by treatment with a chemical(lysozyme or penicillin) that disrupts the cell wall
artificially
When a gram+ cell loses or has no cell wall(peptidoglycan layer) it becomes a ?, which is a ? cell bounded only by cell membrane that is highly susceptible to ?
protoplast
fragile
lysis
When a gram- cell loses or has no cell wall(peptidoglycan layer) it becomes a ? which is not as weak as protoplast.
spheroplast
L-forms of Gram+ cells known as ? are more susceptible to ? than are L-forms of Gram- cells known as ?
protoplast
lysis
spheroplast
Lysozyme is naturally in our bodies in ? and ? and it helps us to prevent infections by breaking down ?
tears
sweat
bacteria
Lipopolysaccharides(lps) are a ?/? combo that make gram- cells so ? and the lipid portion is the causative agent of ?, they act as pyrogenes that induce the ? to raise your internal thermostat
fat/sugar
toxic
fever
hypothalamus
What proteins go all the way through the the phospholipid bilayer ?
Integral proteins
What proteins don't go all the way through the phospholipid bilayer?
peripheral proteins
Lipopolysaccharides are contained only in the ?
outer-membrane
The innermost layer of the outer-membrane is a ? layer anchored by means of ? to the peptidoglycan layer below
phospholipid
lipoproteins
The outer-membrane serves as a partial chemical ? that only relatively ? molecules can penetrate
sieve
small
Access to the peptidoglycan layer of a gram- cell is provide by special membrane channels formed by ? proteins
porin
Porin proteins are also ? proteins that penetrate all the way through the phospholipid bilayer
integral
When we talk about the site of a function we are talking about an ? protein which we can say is an ?
embedded
enzyme
The enzymes for functions such as ? reactions, ? processing and ? are located in the periphery of the cell wall
energy
nutrient
synthesis
Some enzymes are integral like the ones that create the ? motive force
proton
The bacterial enzyme ? is related to ATP synthase in that they both are involved in creating ?
flagellin
energy
Starch is a great big molecule of ? units held together by ? bonds.
glucose
glycosidic
