short, filamentous protein structures
pili and fimbriae
Paracrystalline surface layers (S-layers) — in archaea
can substitute for cell wall
are pili or fimbriae longer
pili
– are notable virulence factors
capsules
two dimensional lattice of proteins
S later
is the S layer a permeability layer
no
cell inclusions are
intracellular storage
poly beta hydroxyalkanoate inclusions store — and appear in —- environments
lipids, nutrient rich
sulfur can be stored as a granule in the periplasm because it is an — inclusion
inorganic
magnetotactic bacteria
orient towards magnetic fields
gas vesicles are used by cells to —
remain buoyant in water
GvpA is mostly in
beta sheets
metabolically dormant cells
endospores
in endospores, — is condensed and there is – free water
DNA, little
outer layer of endospore
spore coat
fitting into the majot/minor groove of DNA
intercalating
— bind tightly to DNA, converting it to A form
SASP
flagella that are around the entire outside of a cell
petritrichous
flagella that form a tuft on the outside fo the cell
lopotrichous
flagella that form in 1 or 2 spots and in opposite directions
polar
energy to drive rotation of the flagellum is derived from the —
proton motive force
what protein do H+ use to enter the cell and drive flagella spin
Mot protein
reversible flagella can spin in — direction(s)
two
unidirectional flagella change direction by
tumbling
