# Bacteria Introduction
###### tags: `共筆`
## The structure of bacteria

### 1. Cytoplasm
* DNA chormosome
* Plasmids
    * 常於革蘭氏陰性菌`Gram(-)`找到
    * 並非細菌生存必須
    * <font color = "red">provide a selective advantage</font>
* mRNA
    * <font color = "red">transcription and translation are coupled</font>
* Ribosome
    * 30s + 50s -> 70s

---

### 2. Cytoplasmatic membrane
* lipid bilayer
    * ==no steroids== 
        > <font color = "red">mycoplasmas</font> are exception
* Involves electron transport and energy production

---
### 3. Cell wall
* Gram(+)
    * Peptidoglycan (胜肽聚醣)
        > <font color = "blue">Lysozyme</font> can degrade peptidoglycan
        > <font color = "red">Protoplast</font> (原生質體): 缺乏細胞壁（peptidoglycan）的**陽性菌**
    * <font color = "red">Teichoic acid</font> (胞壁酸)
        * <font color ="blue">Covalently linked</font> to the pepdioglycan
        * important factor in <font color = "red">virulence</font>(毒性)
    * <font color = "red">Lipoteichoic acid</font> (脂胞壁酸)
        * anchored in the cytoplasmatic membrane
        * initiate endotoxic-like activities(毒性較弱)
        > Teichoic acid and Lipoteichoic acid
        >> are common surface Ag -> **bacterial serotype**
        >> can promote attachment (**adherence**)
        >> 
        ![Gram(+) cell wall](https://i.imgur.com/2PTJFN9.png "Gram(+) cell wall" =400x)
* Gram(-)
    * **Thin** peptidoglycan layer
        > no techoic acid or lipotechoic acid
    * Periplasmic space
        > contain transport system, metabolites and hydrolytic enzymes
        > many are <font color = "blue">lytic (溶血的) virulence factors</font>
    * <font color = "red">Porin protein</font> (膜孔蛋白)
        >  allow the diffusion of **hydrophilic** molecules
    * Outer membrane: ==asymmetric bilayer==
        * inner leaflet: phospholipid
        * outer leaflet: <font color = "red">Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)</font> `endotoxin`
        > attached to the peptidoglycan by **lipoprotein links**
        > held together by **divalent cation** (陽離子)(Mg^2+^, Ca^2+^)
        >> can be disrupted by antibiotics or EDTA 
        >> <font color = "red">pheroplasts</font> (球形質體): 缺乏細胞壁（peptidoglycan）的**陰性菌**
        >> 
        ![Gram(-) cell wall](https://i.imgur.com/E4UwfFS.png "Gram(-) cell wall" =350x)
* Biosythesis
    * Peptidoglycan synthesis: 
        Disaccharides -> polysaccharide -> polysaccharide chains -> Peptidoglycan
        * Disaccharides: 
            N-acetylglucosamine (==GlcNAc==, NAG, G) & 
            N-acetylmuramic acid (==MurNAc==, NAM, M)
        * polysaccharide chains -> Peptidoglycan
            cross-linking reaction: transpeptidation
            ![Peptidoglycan synthesis](https://i.imgur.com/RoyGSQX.png "Peptidoglycan synthesis")
            > <font color="red">Transpeptidase/penicillin binding proteins(PBP)</font> can inhibit cross-linking
            > => antibiotics
            > 
        * Gram(+) peptidoglycan component
            A <font color="red">pentaglycine bridge (gly5)</font> expands the cross-link
        * Gram(-) peptidoglycan component
            <font color="red">Diaminopimelic acid</font> is directly linked to the terminal alanine of another chain
            ![peptidoglycan component](https://i.imgur.com/7zvQlPb.png "left: Gram(+); right: Gram(-)")
        * Overview
            ![Peptidoglycan synthesis](https://i.imgur.com/Xa8aUyD.png "Peptidoglycan synthesis" =500x)
    * Teichoic acid synthesis
        >  connect by **phosphate**
        >  The nature of the modification can define the **serotype** of the bacteria.
        >  
    * Lipopolysaccharide synthesis
        * one ==Lipid A== (<font color="red">endotoxin activity</font>)
        * one ==polysaccharide core== unit 
        * many repeats of ==O antigen==

### 4. External Structures
* Capsule (夾膜): bacteria are closely surrounded by ==loose polysaccharide or protein layers==
* Slime layer (黏液層): loosely adherent and non-uniform in density and thickness 
    * <font color="red">glycocalyx(醣膠層)</font>
        >  Exception: <font color="red">B.anthracis (炭疽桿菌)</font>: produce ==polypeptide== capsule 
        >  =>十分堅硬，染劑無法染進去
    * unnecessary for the growth of bacteria but are important for <font color="red">survival in the host</font>
        > 有時在培養盤上養的細菌就無莢膜，因為沒有生長壓力
    * <font color="red">poorly antigenic, antiphagocytic, a major virulence factor, promote adhesion</font>
        > =>幫助細菌於宿主體內生長
* Biofilm (菌膜)
    * polysaccharide
    * protect bacterial <font color="red">from antibiotics and host defenses</font>
    * ex: Pseudomonus aeruginosa; 綠膿桿菌
---
### 5. Flagella(鞭毛) 
* Ropelike propellers 
* Provide motility for bacteria
    * allowing the cell to swim(==chemotaxis==) 
* Four types of arrangement
    * Monotrichous (一端有單鞭毛)
    * Amphitrichous (二端有鞭毛)
    * Lophotrichous (一端有束鞭毛)
    * Peritrichous (周身有鞭毛)
---
### 6. Fimbriae (纖毛)(pili;線毛)
* Promote ==adherence== to other bacterial or to the host 
    > 像是魔鬼氈
    > for colonization and infection
    > adhesin (黏附素); lectin (凝集素); evasins (逃避素); aggressin (攻擊素)
    * F pili (<font color="red">sex pili</font>)
    *  promote the ==transfer of large segments of bacterial chromosomes== between bacteria
---
### 7. Spores (芽胞)
* 僅存在<font color="red">Gram(+)</font> ex: ==Bacillus==(桿菌類), ==Clostridium==(梭狀菌屬) 
* 對抗惡劣環境，從生長狀態(vegetative state)變成冬眠狀態(dormant state)
* 高濃度的==dipicolinic acid==與==calcium==結合，產生很硬的結構
