lecture 4 Flashcards
flagella
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
prokaryotic/bacterial flagella
no membrane bound organelles
corkscrew generates force
single flagellin protien
powered by H+ channel/proton driven
rigid flagellin attach to basal apparatus
eukaryotic flagella
membrane bound organelles
9+2 microtubule arrangement
powered by ATP
whip-like movement
cilium
gram stain
protects against osmotic lysis (plant walls with cellulose)
gram positive
thick peptidoglycan layer
gram negative
thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by lipoploysaccharide (lps)
what is competitive exclusion
good bacteria can provide inhibitory compounds that prevent pathogen growth
benefits of good bacteria
protects from pathogens
required for development
vitamins and nutrients
aid in digestion
modulates immune system
produces seretonin
