• Plasmodesmata are channels found in plant cells which allow direct cytoplasmic connection between adjacent plant cells.
• Middle Lamella –layer of “glue” between adjacent plant cells which holds them together. Contains pectins.
• Nucleosome – DNA string wrapped around a histone protein bead. Necessary to allow DNA to be packaged efficiently into the small volume of the nucleus

The bacterium and its relatives produce most of the natural antibiotics in current use, including tetracycline and erythromycin. They also generate compounds that are used to treat cancer and suppress the immune system.

PLASMA MEMBRANE
Same as all membranes (bilipid layer)
Phospholipid composition may differ between bacteria and eukaryotic cells.

•The CytoplasmNo compartmentalisation (no internal mebranes ie. No ER)All chemical reactions occur within it.Efficient regulation of biochemistry needed (Jacob Monod).
Contains ribosomes (free floating) responsible for protein synthesis –
different from eukaryotic ribosomes – antibiotics (chloramphenicol, tetracycline, streptomycin) can specifically target them.

The Bacterial “Chromosome” - NucleoidA single, circle of DNA. Packaged by folding – to reduce volume.
FunctionsContains genetic information.
Codes for bacterial proteins.
![Page 34: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ReplicationBacteria reproduce by dividing (asexual)
DNA must be replicated
DNA simply copied (no MITOSIS - no chromosomes).
![Page 35: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Extrachromosomal DNA – Plasmids
StructureCircular DNA, smaller than nucleoid.
Size~ 1000 - 200, 000 bp (c.f. 4,000,000 base pairs)
1-700 copies.
FunctionNot normally essential,
Gives some advantage
e.g. antibiotic resistance.
e.g. conjugative plasmids - Allow exchange of DNA between bacteria
– antibiotic resistance can jump from one bacterial species to another.

The Cell Wall
General Properties
Cell wall resists swelling due to osmotic entry of water
Prevents osmotic lysis
Maintains shape
Structure and synthesis unique to prokaryotes.
![Page 37: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The chemical structure of peptidoglycan
The NAM, NAG and amino acid side chain form PEPTIDOGLYCAN Covalently bonded (strong) to form a repeating polymer.
The polymer is further strengthened by covalent cross links (peptide bridges) between amino acids.
NAM – N acetyl muramic acid
NAG – N acetyl glucosamine
![Page 38: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Two basic types of bacterial cell wall structures – GRAM +ve
Gram +ve cells peptidoglycan is:
heavily cross-linked
very thick
(peptidoglycan accounting for 50% of weight of cell
and 90% of the weight of the cell wall)
20-80 nm thick.
![Page 39: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Two basic types of bacterial cell wall structures – GRAM -ve
In GRAM –ve (G-) bacteria
peptidoglycan much thinner
15-20% of the cell wall
intermittently cross-linked.
![Page 40: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Gram positive (G+) cells are purple and Gram negative (G-) cells are red.
GRAM STAINING
![Page 41: CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813ae6550346895da343ec/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Lysozyme ( tears and saliva) -attacks peptidoglycan. It hydrolyzes the NAM - NAG linkage.
Cell Wall
Freely permeable to solutes, the openings in the mesh are large and all types of molecules can pass through them.
Penicillin inhibits cells wall synthesis.
The G+ cell wall is very sensitive to the action of lysozyme and penicillin.
Penicillin is antibiotic of choice for infections caused by G+ organisms.
e.g. Streptococcus pyrogenes which causes strep throat.

Fimbriae/ pili –concerned with cell adhesion
Special SEX pili – enable transfer of plasmids from one bacteria to another – can on occasion cross species.
e.g staphylococcus - MRSA
