Chromosomes
Nucleoid region
singular, circular
double stranded DNA
supercoiled
Plasmids
Extrachromosomal
circular, supercoiled, dsDNA
small and can be shared with other bacteria
Ribosomes
function in protein synthesis
Prokaryotic - 70S (refers to molecules size and density)
Eukaryotic - 780S (medically important)
Cytoskeleton
internal protein framework
cell division and cell shape
Storage Granules
accumulation of polymers; storage of excess nutrients
helps bacteria survive in fluctuating environments
endospores
unique type of dormant cell
offers resistance to extreme conditions for survival
Sporulation
triggered by limited amounts of carbon and nitrogen
8 hourish process
germination
triggered by heat, certain chemicals, and nutrient availability
