Q

Does prokaryotes have true chromosome or false chromosome? if either, explain its constituents.

A

Prokaryotes have false chromosome which is made up of
:
ds circular naked dna + non histone protein like polyamines. the false chromosome coils and forms the chromosomal region called nucleoid.

Q

A bacteria is infectious. What kind of pili does it possess?

A

Short pili

29
Q

A non contractile protein is a monomer of what and give its name

A

Pilin is a non contractile protein monomer

30
Q

Do pili and flagella both play a role on motility?

A

No. Only flagella is resp for motility, not pili

31

What kind of a glycocalyx does capsule and slime have?

A

Capsule- tough, smooth, thick

Slime- loose, rough, thin

32
Q

Formation of glycocalyx is done by?

A

Cell membrane

33
Q

What is capsule and slime made up of?

A

Capsule- polysaccharide and polypeptide

Slime- polysaccharide

34
Q

What does Lister form mean?

A

Listen form is a cell wall-less bacteria which is removed artificially by lysozyme.

35
Q

Function of Peripheral mesosome

A

Cell respiration and cell wall secretion

36
Q

Function of central mesosome

A

DNA duplication and cell division

37
Q

Reserve materials in prokaryotes are stored in?

A

Cytoplasm in the form of inclusion bodies

38
Q

Plasmids

A

Extrachromosomal or extra nuclear genetic material

Term given by Leaderberg

Plasmids can replicate independently

39
Q

Types of plasmid

A

• F-plasmid: on the presence of absence of F factor

  • F+ cells: containing f factor acts as a donor and are called male
  • F- cells: lacking F factor acts as recipient, female

• R factor: resistant to antibiotics

40
Q

Episome

A

F plasmid attached with the main DNA and this type of cell is jow as Hfr cell (High frequency recombinant cell)

41
Q

Staining of bacteria

A

Bacteria culture. Crystal Violet Soln and KI soln. Washed with acetone or ethylene alcohol. Stained: Gram +
not stained: Gram- which is stained by saffranine

42
Q

44
Q

Examples of photosynthetic bacteria

A
  1. Purple sulphur bacteria- eg Chromatium
  2. Green sulphur bacteria- eg Chlorobium and Thiotrix
  3. Purple non sulphur bacteria- Rhodospirillum and Rhodopseudomonas
