Build-A-Bug
A. Build a heterotrophic prokaryotic organism that possesses a cell wall that is neither Gram
positive nor Gram negative, yet is easily capable of living in an extreme environment. SEM
analyses indicate the presence of an additional protein layer external to the cell wall. The cell
wall itself contains a chemical similar to peptidoglycan, but slightly different in that it lacks NAM
and is replaced with NAT. This organism relies on currents in air and/or water for dispersal
rather than possessing its own locomotive cell structure. (Needs 7 essential items)
B. Build a heterotrophic prokaryotic organism that possesses a Gram negative cell wall. This
aquatic species needs to remain in the oxic zone of the water column, but it does not possess
any external cellular structures to facilitate swimming. (Needs 10 essential items)
C. Build a heterotrophic prokaryotic soil organism that is extremely capable of surviving harsh
desiccation and UV radiation conditions such as those found in Death Valley. The organism
possesses a Gram positive type cell wall and is capable of chemotaxis toward preferred organic
substrates using an external cell feature. TEM analyses indicate the presence of large inclusions
of organic material (starch) inside the cytoplasm and numerous external but short 'hairy'
structures on the cell surface can be seen projecting from the cell membrane. (Needs 11
essential items)
D. Build a heterotrophic prokaryotic cell that possesses a cell wall and is prepared to anchor itself
in its favorite host environment using many hair-like extensions on its surface- the human large
intestine. Upon cell death, the organism releases chemicals which produce deleterious reactions
in its host. The organism is capable of self-directed movement using external cell features and
can also exchange genetic material with other cells. (Needs 12 essential items)
E. Build a heterotrophic prokaryote often found living in the upper respiratory tract of humans and
attached to the epithelial cells by means of an external polysaccharide coating external to its
Gram positive cell wall. It protects itself from discovery by phagocytes through having the
polysaccharide layer. This organism relies on currents in air and/or water for dispersal rather
than possessing its own locomotive cell structure. (Needs 8 essential items)
F. Build a heterotrophic prokaryote that stains pink/fuchsia when an acid fast stain is performed.
TEM analyses demonstrate the presence of large intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies which store
reserves of organic lipids. (Needs 8 essential items)
