BIOL 2604 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Anaerobic Respiration, Gliding Motility, Nutrient
Document Summary
Chains are stored as conclusions in the cell (big bubble inside) Use h2s as an energy source by oxidizing it to organic sulfur. Store the sulfur as granules in to periplasm (gram negative) *gram positive bacteria have. Granules don"t go inside the cell until they are needed. Chemolithatrophic organisms: take hydrosulfide and oxidize to make sulfur, take the sulfur and store. Used when the cell does not need the energy. Can make up predominate mass of cell. Resembles plastic: name the two endospore forming bacteria genera that we discussed. (on test 1, but still relevant) Inclusions are used for storing carbon and/or energy into the cell: poly-b-hydroxy-alkanoate (pha, inorganic molecule (purple sulfur bacteria) Be able to describe their several structural features. What genera of bacteria make endospores: are differentiated forms of some bacteria that can withstand extremes of heat, chemical treatment, Made of overlapping gas vesicle proteins these help to from a water impermeable structure.
