Micro-Bacteriology Flashcards
What is the basic groups of bacteria?
1-cocci
2-bacili
3-spirochetes
What is name of bacteria that have many shapes?
Pleomorphic bacteria
The shape of bacteria dependent on
Rigid of ceel wall
Why microscopic apperanc of bacteria ismost important
Because it criteria in identification on bacteria type
Also an arrengement of the bacteria is important give an example about this
1-some bacteria (cocci) occur in pairs=diplococci
2-some occur in chain=streptococci
3-some occur in clusters=staphylococci
The arrengment of bacteria dependent on
Orientation and degreeof attachment during cell division
Bacteria rang in size from
0.2 to 5um
The smallest bacteria is
Mycoplasm that have the same size of largest virous (poxvirus
All bacteria have cell wall exept
Mycoplasm bacteria
Cell wall of bacteria comosed of
Peptidoglycans
What is the function of peptidoglycans
1-provide structural support to cell wall
2-maintaine the characteristic shape of cell
3-withstand of low osmotic pressure such as water
What are the diffrences between germ gpositive and gram - negative bacteria?
In strectuer and chemical composition and thickness of cell wall
Peptidoglycan layer is thickness in gram - positive bacteria than in gram-negative
Yes 👍😍
Gram - positive bacteria have fibers inthe that protrued outside peptidoglycan layer called
Teichoic acid
Gram - negative bacteria have comlex outer layer composed from
1-lipopolysaccharied
2-lipoprotein
3-phospholipied
Where the lipopolysaccharied located in gram - negative bacteria
Between outer membrane layer and cytoplasmic membrane in (periplasmic space
