bacteria and Archaea and eukarya are types of eukaryotes. * Archaea are more closely related to eukaryotes. * Prokaryotes have a membrane and nucleoid and most have a cell wall. * There are 3 main types of shapes of prokaryotes: * Bacillus – rod shapes * Spirilum – spiral shaped * Coccus – spherical * If they cells are a similar shape‚ that means they are adapted to live in a similar environment‚ and not necessarily closely related. * P are smaller and do not

Teixobactin was also very active against Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis‚ while also showing stronger bactericidal activity against S. aureus than the antibiotic vancomycin did. This indicated that teixobactin is a very strong antibiotic. On the other hand‚ most Gram-negative bacteria were not affected by teixobactin

After pasteurization‚ nonpathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus which is gram positive‚ rod shaped bacteria still present in milks and will metabolize protein into ammonia product and raise the milk’s pH. Other bacteria such as lactobacillus and Streptococcus ferment lactose to lactic acid and acetic acid. Those

However‚ in cases in which the persons with immunodeficiency‚ or a immune deficiency‚ an “effective cell-mediated immune response” may fail to occur and thus allow the disease to further progress and possibly spread from the lungs (“Tuberculosis”). A tuberculosis infection outside of the lungs is called extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In these instances‚ the kidney and bones are more commonly prone to infection. In the kidney‚ tuberculosis proposes little to no symptoms‚ but may destroy part of

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends
