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
|
+
|

|
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
