What else can I help you with?
what what are Structure of bacteria?
Structures of bacteria: Flagella PiliSex pilus Common pili or fimbriae Capsules Cell wallGram-positive bacteria Gram-negative bacteria Plasma membrane Ribosomes Inclusions Chromosome Plasmid
What is the difference between pilus and fimbriea?
They both are noticed in gram negative bacteria only; -Fimbriea are much in number, where as pili are 2 or more -Fimbriea re specialized for attachment of bacteria to its host, and Pili are responsible for seduction(conjugation) and serve as receptors for certain viruses
What is a function of the pili found on the surface of some bacteria?
Pili, or fimbriae, found on the surface of some bacteria help attach the bacteria to surfaces or other cells, aiding in their colonization and biofilm formation. They can also be involved in DNA exchange between bacteria through a process called conjugation.
What are attachment points for bacteria?
pili (plural: pilus)
What are the function of the pili?
Pili are hair-like structures found on the surface of many bacteria and serve several important functions. They facilitate adhesion to surfaces and other cells, which is crucial for colonization and biofilm formation. Some pili, known as sex pili, play a role in the transfer of genetic material between bacteria during a process called conjugation. Additionally, pili can aid in motility and contribute to the bacteria's ability to evade the host's immune system.
How do pili protect bacteria from the immune system?
by giving it antiboitics.duh!!
Where the location of a pili?
Pili are hair-like structures found on the surface of certain bacteria. They are typically located all over the bacterial cell, protruding from the cell wall. Pili play a role in bacteria adhesion to surfaces and in bacterial conjugation for genetic exchange.
What are the Attachment points for bacteria?
Attachment points for bacteria include pili, fimbriae, flagella, and adhesins. These structures help bacteria adhere to surfaces, host cells, or each other. Adherence is crucial for colonization, biofilm formation, and infection.
Causative agent of E. coli?
gram negative bacilli and enterobacteriaceae presense in intestine with pili
What is the function of the Pili?
The pili allows bacteria to colonize cells or environmental surfaces. It also allows bacteria to hang on and avoid flushing.
What do pili adhere to bacteria for and what is this function called?
pilli is used for adhesion to substatum and some sex pilli are used in reproduction
What are the two organelles that help bacteria move?
The two organelles that help bacteria move are flagella and pili. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that help bacteria move in a fluid environment, while pili are shorter, hair-like structures that help bacteria attach to surfaces and move along them.
