Iâm way late with this on March 9th but Iâve watched Paul Kangas for years! He has always epitomized the NBR to me and I will sorely miss him. He was always sharp and crisp and on point.
the bacterial cytoskeleton and cell shape-determining proteins such as MreC, function in concert to orches-trate the localization of cell wall synthetic complexes resulting in spatially co-ordinated and efficient pepti-doglycan synthetic activity. Introduction The distinct morphology of most bacterial cells is dictated by the architecture of the peptidoglycan cell wall. In Gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall is thought to be a single
In gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall is thin and releases the dye readily when washed with an alcohol or acetone solution. Cytoplasm-The cytoplasm, or protoplasm, of bacterial cells is where the functions for cell growth, metabolism, and replication are carried out.It is a gel-like matrix composed of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, and gases and contains cell structures such as ribosomes, a chromosome, and plasmids.nlike the eukaryotic (true) cells, bacteria do not have a membrane enclosed nucleus. The chromosome, a single, continuous strand of DNA, is localized, but not contained, in a region of the cell called the nucleoid.
