30
laid down the basic rules for classification and established taxonomic categories, or taxa
Carl von Linne
31
based on structural similarities and differences in cellular organization, and the way these organisms obtained their nutrition
5-Kingdom Classification or Whittaker's Tree
32
Devised a 3-domain system of classification
Carl R. Woese
33
It is based on cellular organization and function
3-domain system classification
34
Why archaea are placed in a separate domain frrom bacteria?
Archaeal cell walls lack peptidoglycan.
35
Why gram negative archaea is similar with gram negative bacteria
Their outer membrane consists a layer of protein (bacteria have lipid)
36
Why pharmaceutical companies have been more successful in developing effective microbial agents against bacterial pathogens than parasites, fungi, and virus?
Parasites and fungi are eukaryotic and similar to their human hosts, and viruses use their host cells for replication
37
Virus that infects and possibly destroy bacterial cells
bacteriophage
