Pili and Fimbriae. Bacterial Cell: Component # 1. Cell Envelope: It is the outer covering of protoplasm of bacterial cell. Cell envelope consists of 3 components— glycocalyx, cell wall and cell [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of bacterial cell. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of bacterial cell. Bacteria are unicellular organisms. The unicell is exceedingly small in size. Little structural detail can be made out in such a small body with an ordinary light microscope. The use of an electron microscope [...]
In this article we will discuss about the process of respiration in bacteria. Like other living things bacteria respire. They oxidize food materials present in the cytoplasm to obtain energy. Most bacteria make use of the free oxygen of the atmosphere or oxygen dissolved in the liquid environment. They are called the aerobes or aerobic bacteria. They are so called [...]
