Build a Microbe

Mollictues

Cell wall less bacteria

-small compact and do not require a lot of energy, but need a eukaryote host cell because cannot synthesize many nutrients on their own

Gram Positive

Gram negative

membrane is selectively permeable, periplasmic has built in storage, resistant to osmotic stress

-toxic is not handles correctly, has a bigger genome to make so expensive to maintain

S-layers

additional protective layer. layer of subunits mafe o f protein or glycoprotein, has pores to allow movement. higly porous

Capsules

slippery coat of polysaccahride loosely bound to the cell envelope, appears to have holes, can also have an s-layer, prevents phoagocytosimic pathogens, some antibiotics bind to capsules making a defence layer

Thylakoids

only in phototrphs, extensively folded lamollae sheets of cytoplasmic membranes. packed with photosynthetic pigments, proteins and electron carriers, create more surface to maximize photosynthesis, most common in oceans

Carboxysomes

Storage Granules

Magnetosomes

Stalks

Pilli

Rotary Flagella
