They are bacteria. Schizomycetes and Bacteria are two different names for the same thing.

ubiquitous one-celled organisms, spherical, spiral, or rod-shaped and appearing singly or in chains, comprising the Schizomycota, a phylum of the kingdom Monera (in some classification systems the plant class Schizomycetes), various species of which are involved in fermentation, putrefaction, Infectious Diseases, or nitrogen fixation.

What is difference between amoebas and bacteria?

Amoeba is a protozoan and is a eukaryote organism and bacteria is prokariotic organism.Any of various one-celled aquatic or parasitic protozoans of the genus Amoeba or related genera, having no definite form and consisting of a mass of protoplasm containing one or more nuclei surrounded by a flexible outer membrane. It moves by means of pseudo pods but bacteria is an Extremely small, relatively simple prokaryotic microorganisms traditionally classified with the fungi as Schizomycetes.


Are bacteria and amoeba similar?

An Amoeba is a single cell organism


What is the definition bacteria?

The name bacteria is from the Greek bacterion ("little stick", i.e. the rod forms).Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms. Bacteria are the smallest in size and largest in number among living organisms. Bacteria were first discovered by Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1675 in rain water, then in pond water and in scrapings from his teeth. He considered them animalcules.They show some plant-like characteristics such as the presence of rigid cell walls and reproduction by spores. The average size varies in micrometers as the smallest one is cocci i.e. from 0.5-3.5 microns and largest is spirillum 15-22 microns.They can be rod-like ( E.col, Rhizobium), or spherical, monococcus, dicoccus, streptococcus (in chain), staphylococcus( in an irregular bunch), helical, vibrio, spiral, or filamentus. Sometimes they are pleomorphic e.g. Acetobacter.They may be chemolithotrophs or chemoautotrophs, or heterotrophs.Reproduction is either vegetative or asexual ( by conidia, or endospores). True sexual reproduction and alteration of generation are absent in bacteria, and can be done by conjugation, transformation and transduction.According to six-kingdom classification the bacteria comes under Monera i.e. of prokaryotes. According to the Cavalier-Smith two EMPIRE and eight KINGDOM classification the bacterial Empire contains two kingdoms the Eubacteria and the archaeobacteria.(Biol.) A microscopic single-celled organism having no distinguishable nucleus, belonging to the kingdom Monera. Bacteria have varying shapes, usually taking the form of a jointed rodlike filament, or a small sphere, but also in certain cases having a branched form. Bacteria are destitute of chlorophyll, but in those members of the phylum Cyanophyta (the blue-green algae) other light-absorbing pigments are present. They are the smallest of microscopic organisms which have their own metabolic processes carried on within cell membranes, viruses being smaller but not capable of living freely. The bacteria are very widely diffused in nature, and multiply with marvelous rapidity, both by fission and by spores. Bacteria may require oxygen for their energy-producing metabolism, and these are calledaerobes; or may multiply in the absence of oxygen, these forms being anaerobes. Certain species are active agents in fermentation, while others appear to be the cause of certain infectious diseases. The branch of science with studies bacteria is bacteriology, being a division of microbiology. See Bacillus. [1913 Webster +PJC]
