    Bacteria come in a variety of shapes including cocci, bacilli, spiral and filamentous forms. Their cell structure includes a cell membrane containing lipids and proteins, a cell wall that provides shape and protection, and a peptidoglycan structure made of sugar derivatives and amino acids that form the cell wall. Gram positive bacteria have a thick, homogeneous cell wall with peptide bridges while gram negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer and a more complex cell wall without peptide bridges.

    2.

    Bacteria cell structure

    Size and shapes


    1. Cocci
    2. Bacilli
    3. Spiral
    4. Filamentous (mycelial, stalked
    and sheathed forms)
    5. Pleomorphic : variable in shape
    cell

    1. cell membrane : contain both lipids and


    protein
    2. cell wall : to give shape/protection
    3. peptidoglycan structure
    : polymer contains two sugar derivatives; N-
    acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmuramic which
    are backbones, alternating each other.
    : amino acids; glutamic acid, alanine,lysine,
    meso-diaminopimelic acid: peptide
    interbridge
    gram positive cell wall : thick
    homogenous cell wall; contains a
    peptide interbridge
    gram negative cell wall : thin
    peptidoglycan; complex cell wall;
    do not have peptide bridges
    between the tetrapeptide chains
