Q
  1. what are the 6 kingdoms
  2. differentiate archaebacteria and eubacteria
  3. on what basis did he divide the kingdoms into 3 domains of life
  4. what was the common ancestor called
A
  1. archaebacteria, eubacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, animalia
  2. archaebacteria doesnt have peptidoglycan and muramic acid in the cell wall, and also its cell membrane has unimembrane of branched chain lipids (phytanyl tail) instead phospholipid bilayer

33
Q

methanogens

A

obligate anaerobe, chemoautotroph

34
Q

explain halophile membrane

A

purple due to presence of bacterio-rhodopsin which traps energy for synthesis of ATP but it is not used for food

35
Q

halophile

A

heterotroph, facultative anaerobe

36
Q

thermoacidophile

A

chemosynthetic

37
Q

red sea

A

trichodesmium erythrium

38
Q

what are cyanelles

A

when cyanobacteria live endozoically in protozoans

39
Q

what are cyanobacteria characterised by

A

-absence of flagella throughout life cycle
-4 layered cell wall
-central colourless centroplasm, peripheral protoplasm is -pigmented due to thylakoids called chromoplasm
-lamellosome connects membrane to nucleoid
-sap vacuoles are replaced by gas vacuoles

40
Q

what are the pigments in cyanobacteria

A

phycocyanin (blue)
phycoerythrin (red)
allophycocyanin (light blue)
chlorophyll a

41
Q

describe photosytems in heterocysts

A

it lacks ps-ii and co2 is only done in vegetative cells
it has ps-i tho which generates ATP required to fix N2

42
Q

which bga have been used to reclaim soil

A

nostoc, anabena

43
Q

which bgas cause algal blooms

A

microcystis aeruginosa
anabaena flos-aquae
aphanizomenon flos-aqaue

44
Q

who discovered PPLO

A

nocard and roux

45
Q

what are the various names of PPLO and who named them

A

borrel named it asterococcus mycoides
and nowak named it mycoplasma

46
Q

describe the reproduction of mycoplasma and also their dna

A

they reproduce by formation of elementary bodies
they have liner double stranded dna extending throughout the cell

47

mycoplasma gallisepticum

48
Q

what diseases do mycoplasma cause

A

potato witch’s broom
little leaf of brinjal both in plants
apart from pleuropneumonia in cattle
