MICR 2420 Study Guide - Final Guide: Innate Immune System, Thylakoid, Cyanobacteria
Document Summary
Consists of loosely bound polysaccharides/appears as a clear halo/ prevention of phagocytosis and the activation of innate immune system. To orient the bacterium with the earth s magnetic field. Made of hydrophobic proteins/ maintains a set buoyancy optimal. For bacterial adhesion/ for bacterial sex/ for bacterial motility/ to attach to host cells and initiate disease. Connects 2 different cytoplasms for the transmission of material/ imp for biofilm forming molecules and microbes that like to share. Packed with photosynthetic protein and electron carriers/ maximizes photosynthetic capability of the cell. Made of thick subunits of protein and glycoprotein/ can act as a scaffold for building synthetic plasma membrane and as a template for building inorganic nanocrystal super-lattices for molecular electronics.
