Bacterial Anatomy And Physiology Flashcards

1
Q

Difference between capsule and slime layer?

A

Capsule - tough and demarcated - so donot let the bacteria kill by phagocytosis by preventing oppsonization
Slime layer is loose and undemarcated

17
Q

Cell wall deficient forms aka?

A

L forms

18
Q

Types of L forms

A

Unstable - lose cell wall when treated with penicillin , can revert back to its original form
1. Protoplast - g+ ( whole Cell wall lost)

Stable l forms-
Mycoplasma
Permanent losses cell wall
Unable to revert to original form
