INTRODUCTION
Biological membranes are thin, flexible surfaces separating cells and cell compartments from their environments.
Different membranes have different properties, but all share a common architecture. Membranes are rich in phospholipids, which spontaneously form bilayer structures in water.
Membrane proteins and lipids can diffuse laterally within the membrane, giving it the properties of a fluid mosaic.
Membranes are asymmetric; interior and exterior faces carry different proteins and have different properties.

HISTORY
1895-Charles Ernest Overton in his book on anesthesia called layers surrounding cells as ”lipoids” made of lipids and cholesterol.
1925-Gorter and Grendel proposed lipid bilayer model of cell membrane based on their experiment on RBCs extract of different animals.
1935-Danielli and Davson earliest molecular model of biomembranes including proteins with lipids.
1958-Robertsons says two protein layers are adsorbed to lipid bilayer. All membrane have same composition.
1972- The Fluid Mosaic Model of Singer and Nicolson. 1984-The Mattress Model by Mouritsen and Bloom. In 1984, Mouritsen and Bloom (1984) proposed the mattress model that
suggests that proteins and lipids display interactions with a positive free energy content due to variations in the hydrophobic length of the molecules

Mouritsen and Bloom Mattress Model
The typical thickness of a lipid bilayer is about 5 nm.
If the hydrophobic core of a membrane protein is longer or shorter than this length, either some hydrophobic protein or lipid segments are exposed to water, or the lipid membrane has to be deformed to compensate for unfavorable hydrophobic interactions.
This effect is called as ‘hydrophobic matching’.
The hydrophobic matching give rise to interfacial tensions between lipids and proteins. These tensions may result in accumulation of certain lipids around the proteins. And in the mutual attraction of proteins due to capillary forces, leading to aggregation and clustering of proteins.

Phospholipid Bilayer
Built from lipids and steroid derivatives
Phospholipids = Phosphoglycerides
Phosphoglycerides: Main ingredient.
Glycolipids
Sphingolipids
Steroids
Cholesterol

Phospholipid structure
27/11/13
Glycerol backbone connected by ester bonds to fatty acid chains
Phosphoric acid
Alcohol
13
ALCOHOLS
27/11/13
Give a phospholipid its name
Phosphatydylinositol
Phosphatydylcholine
Alcohol end is extremely polar (hydrophilic) Form head groups
14
Decide about the properties of the phospholipid
When cleaved become important signaling molecules
27/11/13
ALCOHOLS IN BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES
15
• Fatty acid end of a phospholipid molecule is strongly nonpolar (hydrophobic)
• Forms internal tails in the membrane• Usually even number of carbons• Myristate : 14• Palmitate: 16• Arachidonate: 20• Double bonds in unsaturated fatty
acid create a bend and “loosen up” membrane packing
27/11/13
FATTY ACIDS
16
Sphingosine (base) backbone.
Amide link to an additional fatty acid chain
Ether link to sugars or phosphoric acid and alcohol

21
How Do The Phospholipid Bilayers Form?
27/11/13
Driving force are hydrophobic interactions between the fatty acid chains of phospholipids and glycolipids molecules.
Hydrogen bonds between polar groups stabilize the bilayer.
Phospholipids in biological membranes are synthesized in 2-step enzymatic reaction.
22
Synthesis Of Membrane Lipids
27/11/13
(A). Two fatty acids are added to glycerol 3- phosphate to produce phosphatidic acid (acyl transferases)• This steps enlarges lipid
bilayer.
(B). Phosphatase and phosphotransferase attach head groups• This steps determines the
chemical nature of lipid bilayer
23
• Highly dynamic.• Lateral mobility.• Flipping between
leaflets.• Imperfectly packed fatty
acid chains (double bonds in fatty acid chains) are responsible for membrane permeability.
• High electrical resistance• Impermeable to ions• Permeable to gases and small
lipid solublemolecules• Slightly permeable to water• Ability to self seal (always form
closedcompartments)

Physical properties of the phospholipid bilayer
24
MEMBRANE PROTEINS
27/11/13
• Each cell membrane has a set of specific membrane protein .
• Membrane proteins allow the membrane to carry out its distinctive functions
• Membrane proteins are either integral (intrinsic) or peripheral
25
• Cross the bilayer (transmembrane)
• Transmembrane segment is usually α helix
• A segment of 25 hydrophobic residues
• Examples: G protein coupled receptors, ion
channels, pumps, transporters
27/11/13
Integral (intrinsic) membrane Proteins
26
(A) Glycophorin• Single transmembrane domain protein
27/11/13
Examples of intrinsic membrane proteins
(B) Bacteriorhodopsin• Multiple transmembrane domains protein
27
• Do not interact with hydrophobic core of the bilayer
• Are associated with membrane through lipid anchors
• Interactions with bilayer (but not complete crossing) or contact with integral membrane proteins
27/11/13
Peripheral membrane proteins
27/11/13 26
• Transport of nutrients• Passage of water• Selective transport of molecules
(keep the unwanted molecules out, secrete metabolic by products)
• Maintenance of proper ionic composition inside the cell
• Reception of signals from the extracellular environment
• Expression of cell identity• Physical and functional
connection with other cells or the extracellular matrix (in multicellular organisms)
Functions of membrane proteins
29
Asymmetry Of The Membrane
27/11/13
The two faces of a membrane are asymmetrical in lipid and protein composition
All integral and membrane bound proteins are distributed asymmetrically
Each protein has a single, specific orientation with respect to cytosolic and exoplasmic faces of the membrane
Glycolipids are located exclusively on the exoplasmic leaflet

31
Protein: lipid ratio in the membrane depends on the function
Mitochondrial membrane is 76% protein (has many transporters and enzymes). Also in purple membrane of halobacteria
Myelin (Schwann cell) membrane has 18% protein (phospholipids are great insulators)

WHAT ARE BIOFILMS
27/11/13
• Biofilms are colonies of living micro-organisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, algae, and/or protozoa) growing on any surface (e.g. metals, plastics, tissue, soil particles, teeth, and so forth)
• Biofilms are surface-attached communities of bacteria, encased in an extracellular matrix of secreted proteins, carbohydrates, and/or DNA, that assume phenotypes distinct from those of planktonic cells
41
HISTORY
27/11/13
In 1684 Anthony van Leeuwenhoek remarked on the vast accumulation of microorganisms in dental plaque in a report to the Royal Society of London: "The number of these animicules in the scurf of a man's teeth are so many that I believe they exceed the number of men in a kingdom
In a 1940 issue of the Journal of Bacteriology, authors H. Heukelekian and A. Heller wrote, "Surfaces enable bacteria to develop in substrates otherwise too dilute for growth. Development takes place either as bacterial slime or colonial growth attached to surfaces." Claude ZoBell described many of the fundamental characteristics of attached microbial communities in the 1940s
The earliest use of “biofilm” in publication is in the Swedish journal Vatten: Harremoës, P. 1977. “Half-order reactions in biofilm and filter kinetics,” Vatten, 33 122-143

The earliest use of “biofilm” in publication is in the Swedish journal Vatten: Harremoës, P. 1977. “Half-order reactions in biofilm and filter kinetics,” Vatten, 33 122-143
In 1990, recognizing the significance of microbial activity, as well as the tremendous economic costs associated with microbial communities on surfaces, the US National Science Foundation founded the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University in Bozeman (though, interestingly, NSF would not initially accept the word “biofilm” in the Center’s name; instead the award funded the “Center for Interfacial Microbial Process Engineering”)
43
FORMATION OF BIOFILMS
27/11/13
Form in places with access to water
Attach to a solid surface using several means of Flagella, Hydrophobic Cell Walls & Sticky Polymers
44
STEPS IN BIOFILM FORMATION
27/11/13
• Structure of biofilms are dramatically different due to the specific organisms in the film and environmental conditions
Interaction of cells with a surface or with each other(A) •Initiation of biofilm formation
(B) •Films aggregate
(C) •Cells form an extracellular matrix

46
STRUCTURE OF BIOFILMS
27/11/13
Key components of the Biofilm matrix are extracellular polysaccharides and proteins
Dead cells have also been identified in biofilms
Extracellular DNA is also important
47
Polysaccharides in Biofilms
27/11/13
Carbohydrates significantly impact bacterial virulence
Bacteria have capsular polysaccharides and exopolysaccharides
The polysaccharides are not soluble and do not disassociate with the bacterial cells
48
Proteins in biofilms
27/11/13
The biofilm associated protein (BAP)Structurally similiar to the surface proteins

PATHOGENS THAT HAVE BEEN STUDIED FOR THE FORMATION OF BIOFILMS
27/11/13
Staphylococcus aureus- for urinary catheters in medical industry
Staphylococcus mutans-In human dental caries
Salmonella typhi-For microbial cantamination of food in food industry
Enterococcus faecalis-Endocarditis and biofilm associated pili
Pseudomonas aeruginosa- tobramycin resistance and growing on urinary catheters
50
GENES AND BIOFILMS
27/11/13
In November 2005,Biologist Alejandro Toledo Arana has identified two genes(arlRS,sarA) that regulate the formation of biofilms in Staphylococcus aureus
51
BIOFILMS CHARACTERISTICS
27/11/13
Submerged biofilms seems to form columns and mushroom like projections that are separated by water-filled channels
Floating biofilms form a skin or pellicle at the air- liquid interface – shows organization of cells with the matrix at the outside
Films that form on the surface of solid media such as agar or other surfaces
52
CONTINUED……
27/11/13
Top to bottom gradient of decreasing antibiotic susceptibility
The gradient originates in the surface layers of the biofilms where there is complete consumption of oxygen and glucose
There are patches of antibiotic resistance at the surface
Proximity of cells lead to horizontal transfer of genes for resistance
53
BIOFILMS –QUORUM SENSING
27/11/13
Certain species of bacteria communicate with each other within the biofilm. As their density increases, the organisms secrete low molecular weight molecules that signal when the population has reached a critical threshold. This process, called quorum sensing, is responsible for the expression of virulence factors.
