This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: blanks_glycocalyx, Engulfment. Polymerization and then depolymerization of actin filaments send pseudopods out to engulf the microbe and place it in a vesicle called a phagosome. finally, Many bacteria secrete a polysaccharide matrix to form a biofilm. biofilm, benefit to bacterium, An outer viscous covering of fibers extending from the bacterium. capsule, benefits to bacteria in the body, May resist unenhanced attachment by phagocytes. unenhanced attachment, Enables certain bacteria to resist phagocytic engulfment by white blood cells in the body or protozoans in soil and water. phagocytosis Steps in phagocytosis, Enables certain bacteria to resist phagocytic engulfment by white blood cells in the body or protozoans in soil and water. in the body May resist unenhanced attachment by phagocytes., functions Enables certain bacteria to resist phagocytic engulfment by white blood cells in the body or protozoans in soil and water., glycocalyx (capsules, slime layers, and biofilms) description An outer viscous covering of fibers extending from the bacterium., An outer viscous covering of fibers extending from the bacterium. biofilm Many bacteria secrete a polysaccharide matrix to form a biofilm., benefits to bacteria in the body, description, benefits to bacteria in the body Biofilms enable bacteria to live in close association and communicate with other bacteria in the biofilm through quorum sensing., benefits to bacteria in the body Biofilms trap nutrients for bacterial growth and enable bacteria to remain in a favorable environment., then Engulfment. Polymerization and then depolymerization of actin filaments send pseudopods out to engulf the microbe and place it in a vesicle called a phagosome., benefits to bacteria in the body Biofilms adhere to environmental surfaces and resist flushing, Steps in phagocytosis first, glycocalyx (capsules, slime layers, and biofilms) chemical makeup, benefits to bacteria in the body Many chronic and difficult-to-treat infections are caused by bacteria in biofilms.
