I. Size • Unit for measurement:Micron or micrometer,μm: 1μm=10-3mm • Size: Varies with kinds of bacteria, and also related to their age and external environment.
Sizes • The unit of measurement • micrometer (μm)
II. Basic shapes • Spherical: coccus • Straight: bacillus • Curved or spiral: spiral bacterium
Shape of Bacteria • Cocci: sphere, 1μm • Bacilli: rods , 0.5-1 μm in width -3 μm in length • Spiral bacteria: 1~3 μm in length and 0.3-0.6 μm in width
Arrangements • Coccus • Diplococcus: • in pairs • Streptococcus: • in chains • Tetrad • Sarcina • Staphylococcus : • in bunches like grapes
Diplococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae
Tetrad Sarcina
III. Bacterial structures • Basic • Cell wall • Cytoplasmic membrane • Cytoplasm • nucleoid • Special • Capsule • Flagellum • Pilus • Spore
1884: Christian Gram:First publication for the Gram stain method Nearly all germs be separated violet(positive) or red (negative)by Gram.

B.special components ofcell wall Teichoicacid of gram positive B Only found in G+ bacteria • Two types • Wall teichoic acid • Lipoteichoic acid Role Antigen specificity Pathogenicity
B. Functions of cell wall • Gives the bacterial shape and prevents osmotic lysis • Transports materials inside and outside of bacterium • Possesses antigenic specificity • Provides many pathogenic properties

Structures and compositions of cell wall After you stained the bacteria, you can seen two kinds germs Gram-positive bacteria Gram-negative Under microscopy we also seen their the shape, size arranging etc .
L forms • (As first found in the Lister laboratory) • Definition • bacteria that their peptidoglycan is destroyed or lost by with lysozyme or penicillin but they can survive under highly osmotic environment. • Two types • Protoplasts: L forms derived from G+ bacteria. Enclosed by cytoplasmic membrane. • Spheroplasts:L forms derived from G- bacteria. Enclosed by partial cell wall.
Bacteria L form • Defective cell wall-bacterial : protoplast, spheroplast
Pathogenesis of L form • Similar to the infection of virus or mycoplasma ( the organisms without wall)
culture • L forms are difficult to cultivate。They require a special high osmotic media。 Colonies : like fried egg __oval, middle thick, edge thinner. • Some L form can revert to 回复the normal bacillary form。
Colonies : fried egg Feature Colony of L form oval, middle thick, edge thiner.
All bacteria have a cell membrane where oxidative phosphorylation occurs (since there are no mitochondria). Cell Wall Cytoplasm Cell membrane Outside the cell membrane is the cell wall which is rigid and protects the cell from osmotic lysis.
Function of Cell membrane • Selective permeability and transport of solutes into cells • Electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation • Excretion of hydrolytic exoenzymes • Site of biosynthesis of DNA, cell wall polymers and membrane lipids.
Mesosomes • Definition The irregular invagination内陷 of bacterial cell membrane that is more prominent in gram-positive than in gram-negative bacteria. • Mesosomes are specialized structures formed by cytoplasmic membrane. invagination
mesosome • Its function is not definitely known, it appears to participate in DNA replication and cell division. • It also provide energy because increases surface area.
The bacterial cytoplasm is densely packed with 70S ribosomes.
Ribosomes • Ribosomes have a sedimentation coefficient(沉降系数)of 70S • That composed of 30S and 50S subunits。This is unlike the eukaryotic 80 S (40 S+ 60 S) ribosome. • They are the sites of action of many antibiotics that inhibit protein biosynthesis。
