Special structure of bacteria
Capsule
Spore
flagellum/flədʒeləm/
Pili
1 capsule
Some bacterial cell walls are wrapped
around a mucus/mjuːkəs/ -like
substance; ordinary staining is not easy
to color, and a transparent ring is visible
under the light microscope.
Chemical components:
Most bacteria: polysaccharides
A small number of bacteria: peptide
(Bacillus anthracis), hyaluronic
/haiəljurɔnik/ acid (streptococci)
Formation of capsule
Nutritious medium (sugar, serum)
Capsular bacteria form mucus type (M), smooth
type (S) colonies
Colony becomes rough after losing the capsule (R)
Capsule function
Anti-phagocytosis /fæ gə(ʊ)saɪtəʊsɪs/: an important
virulence factor for pathogenic bacteria
Anti-bactericidal substance damage: such as
lysosomes, complement
Adhesion: related to pathogenicity; formation of
biofilm
2 flagellum/flədʒeləm/
An elongated, curved filament /flə‘mləmt/
extending out of the body of the bacteria.
Dyeing characteristics: flagella staining
Classification of
flagellum
Mono trichate Amphi trichate Lopho trichate Peri trichate
• H.pylori Pseudomonas
Flagella/fləˈdʒɛlə/ function
The moving organs of bacteria.
Some bacterial flagella is associated with
pathogenicity.
Flagellin has antigenicity: H antigen
3 pilus
On the surface
