Flashcards
Microbial Identification and Classification
Cards in this deck (15)
- 1Four Main Categories of BacteriaI Gram Negative Eubacteria w/ cell walls
II Gram Positive Eubacteria w/ cell walls
III Eubacteria w/out cell walls
IV Archeobacteria - 2ArcheobacteriaSingle cell bacteria w/out nucleus
- 3EubacteriaBacterium typically with rigid cell walls, single celled and a flagellum for movement.
- 4ArchaebacteriaProkaryotes are single celled organisms w/out nucleus
- 5Category I of BacteriaGram Negative Eubacteria w/ cell walls: 16 groups, includes spirochetes, chlamydia and myxobacteria.
- 6Myxobacteria'Fruiting, gliding bacteria'
- 7Fruiting BodySpore producing organ of a fungus
- 8SpirochetesCoiled bacteria, able to move via rotation of filaments on the protoplasm
- 9Category II of BacteriaGram Positive eubacteria w/ cell walls: 18 groups (including actinomycete groups); gram positive rods and cocci, spore formers and non-spore formers, mycobacteria
- 10ActinomyceteA member of a heterogeneous group of gram-positive, generally anaerobic bacteria that usually forms a mycelium.
- 11Myceliummass of branched, tubular filaments (hyphae) of fungi.
- 12Category III of BacteriaEubacteria w/out cell walls: mycoplasmas, characteristic 'fried egg appearance' on growth media, facultative to obligate anaerobes.
- 13MycoplasmasSmallest free living prokaryotic organisms, w/out cell walls, don't react with gram stains and aren't susceptible with most common antibiotic agents.
- 14Category IV of BacteriaArchaeobacteria: extremophiles, methanogens etc.
- 15Methanogens
