Topic 1(minimum 400 words) 

This posting will describe the structural characteristics of your microbe. Aspects to include:

• State the size of your microbe.
• Describe the structure of your microbe:
  • If a bacterium or archaeon, describe the cell wall, outer layer if applicable, and any other structures present (flagella, pili etc.).
  • If a virus, what nucleic acid they present, what is the shape of the capsid, and if it has an envelope.
  • If a eukaryote, describe shape, cellular characteristics, any special structures, unusual nuclei etc.
• Chemical composition if relevant: your microbe may have a special coating of some kind, or present molecules that add resistance to its structure. Mention them briefly if this is the case.
• State if your microbe is auto/hetero/chemo/phototroph (and if it can change, explain).
• Explain with your own words and in more details, what the above means for your microbe (= what does it “eat” for energy and carbon).
