On the Side table are several microscopes set up to demonstrate the following bacteria: • Neisseria gonorrhoeae – “Gonorrhoeae” Cocci, gram negative • Borrelia burgdorferi – “Lyme disease” • Salmonella enteritidis - “Salmonella” gram negative • Treponema sp. - “Syphilis” • Bacterial flagella – special stain to show flagella Exercise 2 Demonstartion Slides
Obtain a dry microscope slide. • Your instructor will dispense to you one of the following living bacteria. • Bacillus megaterium • Spirillium volutans • After observing place slide in the disinfectant container on table.
Exercise 4: Extracellular Digestion Compare the results of the extracellular digestion demonstration on the two different Bacillus bacteria.

Bacteria cell wall:: upper gram positive-- cell wall consists of thick peptidoglycanlayers. Lower: Gram negative --- thickouter layer of lipoprotein andlipopolysaccharide; inner layer thin layer ofpeptidoglycan. Eukayotic cells do not have peptidoglycans--penicillin has no effect on them. Gram negative cells do not havecross links in the peptidoglycan layer andare not susceptible to penicillin. 6. Bacteria cell wall Gram “+” and “-”
