Chemical analysis of the cell wall shows the absence of chitin; further analysis reveals the presence of 50S/30S ribosomes. Based on the information provided so far, what types of microbes (enveloped virus, Gram-positive bacterium, Gram-negative bacterium, fungus, protozoan, parasitic worm) are MOST LIKELY causing this patient's infection? Explain how you know: QUESTIONS 10-13: If the microbe is bacterial, it can be categorized into 1 of 2 primary groups based upon the cell wall structure. Describe the key differences in the cell wall structure of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. (4 points) Hint: see Unit 1 handout page 12 Be sure to include: a) thickness & composition of the cell wall; b) type of surface molecules or coverings found on the outside of the cell; c) the color this type of cell would be following the Gram stain Gram + Cell Wall Structure Gram - Cell Wall Structure

You discover a new microbe that contains peptidoglycan. Based on this information, the most logical conclusion you can draw about the organism is that it is closely related to E. coli. is a bacterium. is a Gram-positive cell. has 80S ribosomes. is motile. is a pathogen.
