Mesosome:



Mesosome
Mesosome


-         it was  Discovered by F. James 1960

-         It is Ingrowth of  plasma membrane, finger like projection

-         In mesosome Vesicles, tubules, lamellae present

-         It is of  two types- Septal and Lateral

Septal mesosome


-         i) Septal: Connected with nucleoid and membrane,

 help in replication of Nucleoid and cell division.

-        
ii) Lateral : don’t connected with nucleoid

and Also called as chondrioid.

-         Mesosome contain excess respiratory enzymes

-         Function: Production of energy

 


 

b)Ribosome:

-         It is 70s type in Prokaryotic cell.

 (S= Svedberg unit)

Discovered by G.E. Palade (1955)

ribosome

subunit

-         These are membraneless, Ribonucleo proteins.

-         The Size is  -20nm ×15 nm.

-        
They may be in free or fixed condition.

-         Fixed are attached to membrane.

-         Free are in cytoplasm- but in  30s and 50s subunits.

-         Sometime 4-8 ribosome attached in mRNA

callded  as - poly ribosome or polysomes.

 

Polysome

 

 



Chromatophore:

Chromatophore



-         It is the Internal thylakoid membrane system.

-         It contain photo synthetic pigments.

-         It is Also called as chlorosome.

-         Contain bacterio chlorophyll, phaeophytin/viridin,

phycobilin and carotenoids.

Chromatophore






Nucleoid:

-         It is called Genetic material/incepient nucleus/

genophore/ prochromose/ chromoneme.

Nucleoid


-         Form oval or spherical structure, attached with  Polyamines.

-         It is DS circular DNA, naked, Histone protein absent.

-         Polyamines are different from Histones.

-         Single ds DNA present.


 

 


Plasmid:

-         These are Extra chromosomal DNA.

-         Double stranded, circular, self-replicating structures.

-         They Gives unique character like 

 fertility, resistance etc to the cell.

-         Sometime found attached to genome..

Called as Episomes or HFR plasmid

Inclusion Bodies.

      These are Nonliving structures of cytoplasm. Found in 2 conditions-

      Free - cyanophycean granules, volutin / phosphtate granules , glycogen granules

      Cover by very thin membrane – (2-4 nm nonolipid non unit protein) – gas vaculoles , carboxy some, sulphur garnules, PHB Granues (Poly 3 hydroxy butrate) storage of carbon and energy..

      On the Basis of nature 3 types - gas vacuoles, inorganic inclusion and food reserve.

Gas vacuoles

      These are Store of gas.

      Mostly in present in  cyano bacteria and purple bacteria.

      Hexagonal, hoollow, cylindrical gas vesicles can be seen.

      Covered by non lipid non unit protein membrane.

      Which Form many folds.

      Help in gaseous exchange, protect from radiation etc.

Inorganic inclusion

      Examples : Volutin, sulphur, iron, magnetite granules

      These are metachromatic granules-which show  different colour in basic dye.

      Volutin-storage of phosphate ( poly meta phosphate)

      Sulphur granules present in those bacteria which are living in sulphur rich medium.

      Also help in orientate themselves in geo magnetic field.

Food reserve

      In BGA- cyanophycean starch or lipid globules or cyanophycin, or prtein granules can be seen.

      PHB Granules- Poly Beta hydroxy butrate granules present ( storage for Carbohydrate)

      In some Photo synthetic  bacteria - Carboxy somes present.






Flagella



Flagella

      Main Locomotary organ.

      1 to  7 micro meter in length, 0.02micro meter in diameter (20nm)

      Devided to Basal body, hook and filament.

      Basal body- rod like swelling inside cell envelope- rings – 2 pairs

     
S & M ring in membrane and  L & P ring in cell wall.

      It is just like a Motor  system or rotator system.

      Hook –is  curved tubular  structure.

      Made up off Flagellin protein.

      9+2  arrangement seen in Flagella.

structure


 

 


 

Pili or Fimbriae

      These are Non locomotary out growths.

      Protein present is – Pilin protein.

      Pilli – longer, few, thick , tubular ,

      mostly present in gram –ve bacteria (1-4 nos)

      Help in -attachment to

recipient cell during conjugation.

      Fimbriae- small bristle like, large number (300-400)

       help to attach in solid surface or to host or attachment with themselves.

Pili
