Summary Introduction

To determine: The lipids present in the archaeal membranes and the effect of their physical properties on the archaeal membranes.

Concept introduction: Different bacterial species have various membrane compositions. The membrane composition of cells belonging to a single species is also not constant. It is based on the environmental condition in which the cells are exposed.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The structure of the lipopolysaccharides that occur in gram-negative bacteria.

Concept introduction: Lipopolysaccharides are present in the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria. They are the major component of the gram-negative bacteria. They are non-capsulated strains, which are exposed to the cell surface.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why the lipopolysaccharides that occur in gram-negative bacteria are known as endotoxins.

Concept introduction: Lipopolysaccharides are present in the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria. They are the major component of the gram-negative bacteria. They are non-capsulated strains, which are exposed to the cell surface.

Summary Introduction

To explain: How does the ladderanes molecules help the bacteria perform their specialized metabolic functions.

Concept introduction: Ladderanes are organic molecules that contain two or more than fused cyclobutane rings. They occur naturally in the anammoxosome membrane of the anamox bacteria.
