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
