structural characteristics of your microbe

November 16, 2022

Topic 1(minimum 400 words)

This posting will describe the structural characteristics of your microbe. Aspects to include:

State the size of your microbe.
Describe the structure of your microbe:
- If a bacterium or archaeon, describe the cell wall, outer layer if applicable, and any other structures present (flagella, pili etc.).
- If a virus, what nucleic acid they present, what is the shape of the capsid, and if it has an envelope.
- If a eukaryote, describe shape, cellular characteristics, any special structures, unusual nuclei etc.
Chemical composition if relevant: your microbe may have a special coating of some kind, or present molecules that add resistance to its structure. Mention them briefly if this is the case.
State if your microbe is auto/hetero/chemo/phototroph (and if it can change, explain).
Explain with your own words and in more details, what the above means for your microbe (= what does it “eat” for energy and carbon).

Topic 2: (Minimum 250 words)

A specific positive statement about the posting’s content.

Topic 3: (Minimum 250 words)

A question or additional information on original posting
