Microbes: Free living (cellular) Flashcards
Bacteria reproduced through
binary fission
Acid fast bacteria is used on
bacteria that stains both gram + and gram -
To grow, bacteria needs
moisture, nutrients, temperature, suitable atmosphere, ph
the pH bacteria prefers is
neutral to slightly alkaline (7.2-7.6)
spores are developed
for survival when moisture and nutrients are low
bacterial spores are called
endospores
a capsule is
a thick layer of polysaccharide that bacteria have
a slime layer is
an irregular and diffuse capsule
pili is mostly observed on
gram neg bacteria
pili is not associated with
mobility
two types of pilus are
bacterial attachment, sex pilus
is bacteria a prokaryote or a eukaryote
prokaryote
does bacteria have a cell wall
yes
do protozoa have a cell wall
no
the stages of protozoa development are
trophozoite and cyst
