harm human cells.
Why doesn’t it?

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
 Prokaryote comes from the Greek words for
prenucleus.
 Eukaryote comes from the Greek words for
true nucleus.

away from stimuli
(taxis)

are H antigens
(e.g., E. coli
O157:H7)

disaccharide:
 Nacetylglucosamin
e (NAG)
 N-acetylmuramic
acid (NAM)

 Lipoteichoic acid links to plasma membrane

Gram-Negative Cell Wall
Note: Lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins, phospholipids
form the periplasm between the outer membrane and the plasma membrane
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 4.13c
Gram-Negative Outer Membrane
 Protection from phagocytes, complement, and
antibiotics
 O polysaccharide antigen, e.g., E. coli O157:H7
 Lipid A is an endotoxin
 Porins (proteins) form channels through membrane
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Gram Stain Mechanism
 Crystal violet-iodine crystals form in cell
 Gram-positive
 Alcohol dehydrates peptidoglycan
 CV-I crystals do not leave
 Gram-negative
 Alcohol dissolves outer membrane and leaves holes in peptidoglycan
 CV-I washes out

The Plasma Membrane
 Selective permeability allows passage of some
molecules
 Enzymes for ATP production
 Photosynthetic pigments on foldings called
chromatophores or thylakoids
 Damage to the membrane by alcohols, quaternary
ammonium (detergents), and polymyxin antibiotics
causes leakage of cell contents
