Introduction
• Bacteria despite their simplicity, contain a well developed cell structure which is responsible for many of their unique biological properties. Many structural features are unique to bacteria and are not found among eukaryotes.
Cell Morphology
• The most elemental structural property of bacteria is cell morphology (shape).
• Bacteria are classified by shape into three basic groups:• cocci (spherical)
• bacilli (rod-like)
• spirochetes (spiral)
• Some bacteria are variable in shape and said to pleomorphic.
• The shape of a bacteria is determined by its rigid cell wall.
• The microscopic appearance of a bacterium is one of the most important criteria used in identification.
Bacteria come in a wide variety of shapes
• The arrangement of bacteria is important. Example:
• Cocci in pairs (diplococci)• Cocci in chains (streptococci)• Cocci in clusters (staphylococci)
Bacteria Size
• Bacteria range in size from about 0.2 to 5 um.
• The smallest bacteria (Mycoplasma) are the same size as a large virus.
• The longest bacteria rods are the same size as some yeasts and human red blood cells.

CELL ENVELOPE
KEY WORDS Cell envelope
• Cell wall
• Cell membrane
21
Cell envelope– The cell envelope: Consists
of cell membrane and cell wall plus an outer membrane if present.
– Most bacterial cell envelopes fall into two major categories: Gram positive and Gram negative based on Gram staining characteristics that reflect major structural differences between the two groups

Cell wall
• Cell wall consists of the peptidoglycan layer attached structures
(eg: capsule, pili etc)
27
PEPTIDOGLYCANS ( murein/ mucopeptide)
– Multilayered in gram positive bacteria.
– Surrounds the bacterial cell membrane.
– Provides rigidity. It is huge (billions in molecular weight)
– Consists of a glycan (polysaccharide) backbone with peptide side chains.
– PG is found in all bacteria except Chlamydia and Mycoplasma.
28
• Gram positive cell envelope:
Thick peptidoglycan with covalently bound teichoic acid. These negatively charged molecules concentrate metal ions from the surroundings. Lipoteichoic acid is primarily associated with the cell membrane.
29
Gram negative cell envelope
• Outer membrane present ( lipopolysachride, lipoprotein &phospholipid) --- endotoxin
Lipid A --- toxic
Polysaccharide core
Outer polysaccharide -- antigenic• Thin peptidoglycan layer• No teichoic acid• Periplasmic space : b/w two membranes

Gram negative cell envelope
• Porin protein
