Chapter 49, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Difference between enteric and pseudomonads.
Introduction:
Bacteria are biological cells that are prokaryotic in nature. They are the first living form to occur on the Earth and are found in most of the habitats. The length of bacteria varies a lot and they can be rod, spherical, or spiral in shape.

There are five major clades of bacteria. List three of them and provide their general characteristics and at least one example for each group.
How do I go about drawing a biological drawing of Sarcina lutea? Apparently it has been reclassified as Micrococcus luteus, and I have found an image for me to base my drawing on (image attached), but I don't exactly know which parts to label. Hope I can get some help on this.
What do you call this type of bacterium? How is it structurally different from a spirillum?

The periplasm is a multipurpose compartment separate from the cytoplasm. The periplasm has a distinct oxidizing environment that allow certain key protein structural features to be formed. Can you identify an amino acid(s) that would be affected by this oxidizing environment? How would it be affected, and what structural features would be sensitive to this environment? Can you discuss the implications of this from a standpoint of recombinant protein expression?arrow_forward

Which of the following is consistent with this observation? a) The purple one is likely more resistant to penicillin b) Both bacteria have a cell wall made of mycolic acid c) Their peptidoglycan layers have the same thickness d) They differ in the number of phospholipid membranes e) One has a monolayer of phospholipids while the other has a bilayer of phospholipidsarrow_forwardIf you looked under a microscope and found colony of perfectly round bacteria, all in a straight line. You would call these?
