Three parts: Filament, hook (sheath), and


basal body

Flagella

Vary in both number and arrangement

Flagella

flagella attached at one or


both ends of the cell

polar arrangement

single flagellum

Monotrichous

small bunches or tufts of


flagella emerging from the same site

Lophotrichous

small bunches or tufts of


flagella emerging from the same site

Lophotrichous

dispersed randomly over the


structure of the cell

Peritrichous

Axial filament found in

Spirochetes

Made of the protein


pilin

Pili

Found on gram- negative bacteria

Pili

Used in


conjugation

Pili

Small, bristlelike fibers


Most contain protein

Fimbriae

Used for attachment and sometimes motility


Tend to stick to each other and to surfaces

Fimbriae

loose shield that protects some bacteria from loss of water and nutrients

Slime layer

when the glycocalyx is bound more tightly to the cell and is denser and thicker

Capsule

loose shield that protects some bacteria from


loss of water and nutrients

Slime layer

loose shield that protects some bacteria from


loss of water and nutrients

Slime layer

when the glycocalyx is bound more tightly to the


cell and is denser and thicker

Capsule

important


for pathogenesis, prevent phagocytosis

Capsule

important


for pathogenesis, prevent phagocytosis

Capsule

Helps determine the shape of a bacterium

Structure of the Cell Wall

Provides strong structural support

Structure of the cell wall

Most are rigid because of peptidoglycan content

Structure of the cell wall

A thick (20 to 80 nm), homogeneous sheath of


peptidoglycan

Gram-positive cell wall

A thick (20 to 80 nm), homogeneous sheath of


peptidoglycan

Gram-positive cell wall

Single, thin (1 to 3 nm) sheet of peptidoglycan

Gram-Negative Cell Wall
