• Bacteria are divided into two major groups: Gram positive and Gram negative. Both groups have a cell wall composed of

peptidoglycan: in Gram-positive bacteria, the wall is thick, whereas in Gram-negative bacteria, the wall is thin. In Gram-

negative bacteria, the cell wall is surrounded by an outer membrane that contains lipopolysaccharides and lipoproteins.

Porins are proteins in this cell membrane that allow substances to enter the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.

In Gram-positive bacteria, lipoteichoic acid anchors the cell wall to the cell membrane. (credit: modification of work by

• Besides binary fission, there are three other mechanisms by which prokaryotes can exchange DNA. In (a)

transformation, the cell takes up prokaryotic DNA directly from the environment. The DNA may remain

separate as plasmid DNA or be incorporated into the host genome. In (b) transduction, a bacteriophage injects

DNA into the cell that contains a small fragment of DNA from a different prokaryote. In (c) conjugation, DNA

is transferred from one cell to another via a pilus that connects the two cells.

• Five stages of biofilm development are shown. During stage 1, initial attachment, bacteria adhere to a solidsurface via weak van der Waals interactions. During stage 2, irreversible attachment, hairlike appendages called pili permanently anchor the bacteria to the surface. During stage 3, maturation I, the biofilm grows through cell division and recruitment of other bacteria. An extracellular matrix composed primarily of polysaccharides holds the biofilm together. During stage 4, maturation II, the biofilm continues to grow and takes on a more complex shape. During stage 5, dispersal, the biofilm matrix is partly broken down, allowing some bacteria to escape and colonize another surface. Micrographs of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in each of the stages of development are shown. (credit: D. Davis, Don Monroe, PLoS)

• Bacteria and Archaea are both prokaryotes but differ enough to be placed in separate domains. An ancestor of modern Archaea is believed to have given rise to Eukarya, the third domain of life. Archaeal and bacterial phyla are shown; the evolutionary relationship between these phyla is still open to debate.
