The most important difference between molds, which are fungi, and bacteria is that fungi have a proper nucleus in their cells and bacteria do not.
Fungi are known as eukaryotes because they have their DNA enclosed in a nucleus which separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane.
Bacteria are known as prokaryotes because their DNA is not sepatated from the cytoplasm in a nucleus.
In addition, fungi have other structures in their cells which bacteria do not have. For example, fungi have mitochondria, which are where food is 'burned' to release energy in the process of respiration.
Bacteria do not have mitochondria. In fact, scientists believe that mitochondria actually evolved from ancient bacteria - theory called endosymbiosis.

What else can I help you with?
How could you tell the bacteria were growing in the culture?
Bacteria growth can be detected by an increase in turbidity (cloudiness) of the culture, formation of colonies on agar plates, or by changes in pH or color of the medium due to metabolic byproducts. Additionally, observing the presence of a pellicle, sediment, or turbidity in a liquid culture can indicate bacterial growth.
Does mold have a nucleus?
No, mold does not have a nucleus. Mold is a type of fungus, and fungi, including mold, are eukaryotic organisms that have nuclei in their cells. The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material of the cell.
How can you tell if there is bacteria growing on something?
You don't have to even check. Everything on the planet is covered in bacteria. It may be growing, or just waiting for the right conditions for it to multiply. And even before you see anything like changes in color or oder, they have already multiplied into the thousands, and even millions. Unless it was just sterilized in a autoclave oven at the right temperature for the correct length of time, it already has bacteria that only time and available food supply that keep them from growing into what you can see or smell, but just remember, they are already everywhere. Technically, the only way to tell is by visual examination, and the only way to do that is with a microscope.
How can you identify mold on wood?
The best way you can tell if you have mold growing inside your walls is to look for moisture. If you spot water damage on a wall, it is a good indication that there may be mold growing inside. Mold also has a distinctive, musty smell, so you should be aware of that.
Why is turbidity not an accuarte measure of viable bacteria in a culture?
Turbidity measures the cloudiness of a culture, which can be influenced by various factors besides viable bacteria, such as debris or particles in the solution. Viable bacteria may also form clusters or biofilms, which can affect turbidity readings. To accurately measure viable bacteria, other methods such as colony counting or molecular techniques are more appropriate.
Which microorganisms can be harmful?
I can tell you two of them they are!answer: Bacteria or mold and fungi!!
Why does stuff go mouldy?
Things, especially food, mold because they have expired or because they were left out when they were supposed to be refrigerated or frozen.
When mold is in your juicewill it make you sick?
Without knowing the type of mold it's hard to tell. Some mold can be virtually harmless to your body. Others may contain bacteria and can be harmful. There really is no definite answer, but I hope it doesn't :).
How do you determine if an antibiotic is effective at stopping the growth of bacteria?
First, the lab tech needs to grow a culture of the bacteria on a medium (bacteria food) in a bunch of petri dishes. Each petri dish will contain millions of bacteria.Then, the tech puts a little of each antibiotic being tested on one of the bacteria samples. A different antibiotic is tested in each petri dish.She checks back later to see which antibiotic killed the most bacteria. She is looking for a bacteria-free area around where she put the drop of antibiotic.The technician writes a report for the doctor, to tell him which antibiotics worked the best.The doctor will check to see if you are allergic to an antibiotic before writing you a prescription. (You may want to remind him if you have any such allergies.)This is called a sensitivity test. If you take one kind of antibiotic and it doesn't work, be sure to ask your doctor to do a sensitivity test before you try any more types of antibiotic. If you just keep taking different antibiotics, your bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics. You could spread the resistant bacteria to other people. So insist on getting the test.
Should i be worried about this mold on my wall?
We can not tell we can not see the mold.
How do you tell if it is mold or not?
because mold is really distict from other things such as black mold. black mold is just plain black with little white patches.... that how i tell it from anything else
How to Tell if an Avocado is Bad?
if it has mold
What microorganisms would be useful to make cheese?
The bacteria used to make cheese are generally known as lactic acid bacteria (LAB). These bacteria convert lactic acid to lactate. Examples of these are Streptococcus thermophilus, and Lactobacillus helveticus. Secondary bacterial cultures are introduced to produce texture, flavours and the holes in Swiss cheese.
How can you differentiate between invivo and invitro hydrolysis?
The words tell you where the hydrolysis (breading down of water) occurs. Invivo means within an organism and its' cells. Invitro means "in glass". This reaction would not be studied in a cell or in a living organism but in a test tube or a petri dish.
How fast will cheese mold?
This depends on the type of cheese that you want to mold, although cheese is already mold, and with some French cheeses, you can really tell.
How can you tell if a house has mold?
it'll smell kinda funky.
What are some good ways that mold does?
mold tells you that there is nutrience in your bread but still don't eat it just because I tell you thing
