🔴 QUESTION A-Q1(a) — LONG ESSAY [10 Marks]
Q.No: A-Q1 (a)
Question: Describe the Structure and Classification of Microbes.
📖 DEFINITION / INTRODUCTION
Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms - living organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Microbes (Microorganisms) are microscopic living entities that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae, and prions. They are measured in micrometers (µm) or nanometers (nm).

FLAGELLA PILI
(for movement) (for attachment)
Important Labels:
- Capsule - protection, anti-phagocytic
- Cell wall - shape and rigidity (peptidoglycan in bacteria)
- Cytoplasmic membrane - origin of flagella & pili
- Nucleoid - DNA without nuclear membrane
- Ribosomes (70S) - protein synthesis
- Plasmids - extra-chromosomal DNA (antibiotic resistance)
- Flagella - motility
- Pili/Fimbriae - attachment & conjugation
📝 MAIN ANSWER
I. CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS
A. BACTERIA
| Feature | Detail |
|---|
| Type | Prokaryote |
| Size | 1-10 µm |
| Cell wall | Peptidoglycan |
| Nucleus | Absent (nucleoid) |
| Ribosomes | 70S |
Classification of Bacteria:
1. Based on Shape:
- Cocci - spherical (e.g., Staphylococcus, Streptococcus)
- Bacilli - rod-shaped (e.g., E. coli, Bacillus)
- Spirilla - spiral (e.g., Treponema, Vibrio)
- Coccobacilli - oval (e.g., Brucella)
2. Based on Gram Staining:
- Gram Positive (+ve) - purple/violet color (thick peptidoglycan wall)
- Gram Negative (-ve) - pink/red color (thin peptidoglycan + outer membrane)
- Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) - resistant to decolorization (e.g., Mycobacterium)
3. Based on Oxygen Requirement:
- Aerobic (need O₂) - e.g., Mycobacterium TB
- Anaerobic (no O₂) - e.g., Clostridium
- Facultative anaerobe - e.g., E. coli
- Microaerophilic - e.g., Campylobacter
4. Based on Spore Formation:
- Spore-forming: Bacillus, Clostridium
- Non-spore forming: most others
B. VIRUSES
| Feature | Detail |
|---|
| Type | Acellular (non-living outside host) |
| Size | 20-300 nm |
| Structure | Nucleic acid + protein coat (capsid) |
| Replication | Only inside living host cell |
Structure of Virus:
- Nucleic acid core - DNA or RNA (never both)
- Capsid - protein coat around nucleic acid
- Envelope - lipid layer (in enveloped viruses like HIV, Influenza)
- Spikes/Peplomers - attachment to host cells
Classification of Viruses:
- Based on nucleic acid: DNA viruses (Herpes, Pox) vs RNA viruses (HIV, Influenza)
- Based on envelope: Enveloped vs Non-enveloped (naked)
- Based on shape: Icosahedral, Helical, Complex
C. FUNGI
| Feature | Detail |
|---|
| Type | Eukaryote |
| Cell wall | Chitin |
| Nucleus | True nucleus present |
Types:
- Yeasts - unicellular (e.g., Candida albicans)
- Molds/Moulds - multicellular, filamentous (e.g., Aspergillus)
- Dimorphic fungi - both forms (e.g., Histoplasma)
D. PROTOZOA
- Unicellular eukaryotes
- Motile (by pseudopodia, flagella, cilia)
- Examples: Plasmodium (malaria), Entamoeba, Giardia, Leishmania
E. ALGAE
- Contain chlorophyll - photosynthetic
- Mostly found in water
- Some pathogenic (e.g., Prototheca)
F. PRIONS
- Proteinaceous infectious particles
- No nucleic acid
- Cause: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Kuru
- Resistant to heat, radiation, and disinfectants
II. STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA (Detailed)
Mandatory Structures (Present in all bacteria):
- Cell wall - peptidoglycan, gives shape
- Cytoplasmic membrane - selectively permeable, origin of flagella & pili
- Cytoplasm - contains ribosomes, inclusions, nucleoid
- Nucleoid - circular DNA (no membrane)
- Ribosomes (70S) - protein synthesis
Optional Structures (Present in some bacteria):
- Capsule - gelatinous layer, anti-phagocytic, virulence factor
- Flagella - motility, arise from cytoplasmic membrane
- Pili/Fimbriae - attachment, conjugation
- Spores - resistant resting forms (Bacillus, Clostridium)
- Plasmids - extra-chromosomal DNA, carries antibiotic resistance genes
✅ CONCLUSION
Microorganisms are classified into prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) and eukaryotes (fungi, protozoa, algae), with acellular entities (viruses, prions) forming a separate category. Understanding microbial structure helps nurses identify infection risks, understand pathogenesis, and implement appropriate infection control measures. Each microbe has unique structural features that determine its virulence and treatment approach.
