Bacterial cells possess a three-layered cell envelope consisting of the plasma membrane, cell wall (made of peptidoglycan), and glycocalyx (a polysaccharide coating that can be flexible as a slime layer or rigid as a capsule). The cell wall provides shape and protection against bursting and collapsing. Bacterial surface structures include pili (for conjugation), fimbriae (for attachment), and flagella (for locomotion, composed of flagellin protein without the 9+2 microtubule arrangement found in eukaryotic cells). Mesosomes are infoldings of the plasma membrane that perform functions similar to eukaryotic organelles including cell wall formation, cellular respiration, DNA replication, and DNA distribution. Photosynthetic bacteria contain chromatophores (pigmented membrane structures) and gas vacuoles (air bubbles for buoyancy), while non-photosynthetic bacteria may have inclusion bodies for storage. Bacterial ribosomes are 70S ribosomes (composed of 50S and 30S subunits), which are the smallest cell organelles and can form polyribosomes on mRNA for efficient protein synthesis.
