RO: Bifidobacterium
Phylum: actinobacteria Colonial Unicellular Sessile Heterotrophic SAPROTROPH Promotes growth good bacteria Thick capsule survive acid
Phylum actinobacteria
Gram positive
Break down material
Make nutrients
Antibiotic/antifungal
Saprotroph
Heterotroph that uses extracellular digestion
Ex. Bifidobacterium
Bifidobacterium friends
Lactobascillus
Streptococcus
RO: Anabaena
Phylum: Cyanobacteria -Freshwater -Multicellular filament -Gelatinous sheath- adhere -Asexual: fragmentation -Large # thylakoids- attachment pigments Heterocyst
Phylum Cyanobacteria
Blue green algae
Autotrophic (photosynthesize) unicellular-branched
Most aquatic some terrestrial
Heterocyst
Nitrogen fixation
Ex. Anabaena
Nitrogen for protein synthesis
