The following points highlight the seven important components of bacterial cell. The components are: 1. Cell Envelope 2. Cytoplasm 3. Nucleoid 4. Plasmids 5. Inclusion Bodies 6. Flagella 7. 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 [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on bacterial motility. Some bacteria are self-motile. They are able to swim through the liquid in which they live. They cannot crawl over dry surfaces or fly through the air. Motility is universal among the spirilla, common among the bacilli but lacking or rare in coccal forms. The organs of locomotion are [...]
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 [...]
