  • Group that shows most extensive metabolic Diversity
    Bacteria
  • Vast majority of bacteria feed on
    Other organisms or dead organic matter ; heterotrophs
  • Difference between Archaebacteria and other bacteria
    Cell wall structure responsible for surviving extreme conditions
  • Extreme salty area bacteria
    Halophiles
  • Hot springs bacteria
    Thermoacidophiles
  • Marshy areas bacteria
    Methanogens
  • Where are methanogens present
    In the gut of the ruminants ; cows and buffaloes
  • Archaebacteria
    • Halophiles
    • Thermoacidophiles
    • Methanogens
  • Eubacterial Characteristics
    Rigid Cell Wall , if motile flagellum
  • Which chlorophyll does Cyanobacteria contain
    Chlorophyll A
  • Cyanobacteria
    •Unicellular
    Colonial/Filamentous
    • Freshwater/Marine/Terrestrial
  • Heterocysts
    Nostoc and Anabaena
  • Forms Blooms in polluted water bodies
    Colonies surrounded by gelatin sheathing ; Cyanobacteria
  • Bacterial diseases
    • Cholera
    • Typhoid
    • Tetanus
    • Citrus canker
  • Bacterial Vegetative Reproduction
    Mainly by fission, if unfavourable spore formation.
  • Mycoplasma
    • Lack cell wall
    • Smallest livin' cell
    • Anaroebic
    • Pathogenic
  • Autotrophic bacteria synthesize their own food from inorganic substrates
  • They play a great role in recycling nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and sulphur
  • Cholera, typhoid, tetanus , Citrus canker are well known diseases caused by bacteria
  • Smallest living cell without cell wall and anaerobic
    Mycoplasma
