E. coli are rod-shaped bacterium that has an outer membrane consisting of lipopolysaccharides, inner cytoplasmic membrane, peptidoglycan layer, and an inner, cytoplasmic membrane.
Cell wall- this structure is made of a thick layer of protein and sugar that prevents the cell from bursting.
Plasma membrane- this structure is made of lipids and proteins and is used to control the movement of molecules in and out the cell.
Ribosome- these particles aid in the production of proteins.
Fimbriae- these structures allow and help the eubacteria to attach itself on other surfaces.
Flagella- these structures are composed of proteins, giving cells the capability to move.
Pilus- this structure allows bacteria to transport copies of plasmids.
Slime capsule- this structure allows the eubacteria to survive during harsh conditions.
Nucleoid- this structure contains the DNA for the eubacteria. This structure doesn’t have any membrane-bound structure surrounding it.
