External Structure of Bacteria

A capsule is gel like compound  that surrounds the exterior of some bacterial cells; the gel compound is produced inside the bacterial cell and is excreted outside it and it attached firmly to the cell exterior; in some bacteria this material is not organized and is more loosely attached; in this case it is called a slime layer; a capsule can help bacterium to survive from harmful environmental changes and provide effective protection against attack by the host defense system; in addition of the sticky capsule helps the bacterium to adhere to the cell surfaces inside the host tissues.

Flagella are work like tales that specialized extensions of bacterial cell walls; a bacterium may have one, several or numerous flagella; Flagella can be located anywhere on the bacterium and give bacterial motility - the ability to move on her own-  motility allows the bacterium to move into more favorable environment; the response of senses located in the cell wall by specific stimuli produces taxis - movement toward or away from the stimulants - the majors responses of motile bacteria are chemotaxis (the response to chemicals stimuli) and phototaxis the (response to the light); these responses control the speed and direction of the flagellum rotation to create different movement paths; the cells can move ahead in constant rate or they can tumble, turn and continue on another path.

bacterial stimuli

The cell walls of some bacteria have hale-like appendages called Fimbria and Pili these appendages are shorter and thinner than flagella and more like bristles and function in cellular attachment rather than cell movement; fimbria present in multiple numbers and found either in each end of the cell or distributed eventually along the entire cells surface; fimbria helps the bacterium to adhere to tissues surfaces within the host.

Pili are longer than fimbria and they are present either singly or in pairs on a single bacterium;
Their propose is to enable one bacterium to adhere to another during a specialized process called conjugation in which DNA is transferred between the cells.

  4. I deemed it important to let the world know about a man who cured me of HIV/AIDS, he is Dr. Iyabiye, and I never take it seriously when I first saw his recommendation online. I reached out to him not because I believed it but because my finances was running dry for buying HIV/aids Antiretroviral drugs to slow down the viral load all the time. But behold I got cured after the treatment. I went for checkup just as the doctor instructed and I was tested negative. Here are his contacts if anyone wish to reach him for help: +234-815-857-7300, iyabiyehealinghome@gmail.com

A friend of my use blade to peel of her finger nails and drop it where she use it, so after she has left i did know what came unto me i looked at my nails, my nails were very long and I took the blade which she just used on her own nails to cut of my finger nails, as i was maintaining my names, i mistakenly injured myself. I did even bother about it, so when I got to the hospital the next week when i was ill the doctor told me that I am HIV positive, i wondered where did i got it from so i remembered how I use my friend blade to cut off my hand so i feel so sad in my heart to the extent that i don’t even know what to do, so one day i was passing through the internet i met a testimony of a lady that all talk about how she was cured by a doctor called DR Imoloa so i quickly emailed the doctor and he also replied to me and told me the requirements which i will provide and I do according to his command, he prepare a herbal medicine for me which I took. He message me the following week that i should go for a test which i did to my own surprise i found that i was HIV negative. He also have cured for all kinds of incurable diseases like: Huntington's disease, back acne, chronic kidney failure, Addison's disease, Chronic Disease, Crohn's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fibromyalgia, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Fungal Nail Disease, Paralysis, Celia Disease , Lymphoma, Major Depression, Malignant Melanoma, Mania, Melorheostosis, Meniere's Disease, Mucopolysaccharidosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle Dystrophy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Alzheimer Disease and so many. Thanks to him once more the great doctor that cured me dr. Imoloa so you can also email him via drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com or what'sapp him on +2347081986098.. God Bless you Sir.

  7. I’m here to testify about what Dr. Omola did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Mary on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr. Omola on how he cured her from 5 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr. Omola prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as Dr. Omola assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr. Omola for help via dr.omolaherbalhome@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348118116254.
