Subcellular structure of a fungal cell is discussed below: 1. The Cell Wall: Except slime molds (Myxomycetes), the fungal cell consists of a rigid cell wall and cell organelles. However, composition of cell wall of different fungal groups differs. Chemical analysis of cell wall reveals that it contains 80-90% polysaccharides, and remaining proteins and lipids. Chitin (a polymer of N-acetyl [...]
The following points highlight the nine main types of plasmids in bacterial cytoplasm. The types are: 1. Sex Factor 2. R (resistance) Plasmids 3. Heavy-Metal Resistance Plasmids 4. Col Plasmids 5. Degradative Plasmids 6. Penicillinase Plasmid of Staphylococcus Aureus 7. Cryptic Plasmids 8. Ti-Plasmids of Agrobacterium Tumifaciens 9. Ri-Plasmids. Type # 1. Sex Factor or Fertility (F) Factor: The plasmids [...]
The following points highlight the six main components of cytoplasm of bacteria. The components are: 1. Ribosomes 2. Molecular Chaperones 3. Nucleoids 4. Plasmids 5. Cytoplasmic Inclusions 6. Spore and Cysts. Component # 1. Ribosomes: All living cells contain ribosomes which act as a site of protein synthesis. High number of ribosomes represents high rate of protein synthesis and vice [...]
