How many bacteria can be found in 1 gram of sandy soil?
there are 1 billion bacteria in 1 gram of soil.
What type of soil is used to grow gram?
Sandy soil is best to grow gram.
How plentiful are bacteria in water in soil?
how plentiful are bacteria in water and soil
What types of organisms are found in soil?
Bacteria and fungi are types of organisms that are found in soil.
How can bacteria benefit contaminated soil?
bacteria can benefit conaminated soil because organic matter is formed.
How many bacteria can be found in 1 gram of sandy soil?
there are 1 billion bacteria in 1 gram of soil.
How many species of bacteria classified?
reasearchers have found 4000 different types of bacteria in 1 gram of soil. Their are about 5*1030 numbers of bacteria on this planet
Is klebsiella gram positive or negative?
i believe it is a gram bacteria which causes respiratory illness.
Where does EDP pathway occur?
EDP pathway occurs in cytoplasmic matrix of soil microbes like pseudomonas , rhizobium , acetobacter , agrobacterium and gram negative bacteria. a gram positive bacteria , enterococcus faecalis also uses this pathway.
Gram negative bacteria are much more resistant to penicillin because?
Peptidoglycan in Gram-negative bacteria is inaccessible to penicillins because penicillin cannot penetrate the Gram-negative outer membrane.
What is the difference between positive gram and negative gram?
The major difference between gram positive and the gram negative bacteria is the structure of their cell wall. The gram positive bacteria have two layers a plasma membrane and outer to it a peptidoglycan layer. But the gram negative bacteria have another layer other than the cell wall. While the gram negative bacteria has three layers. It has a plasma membrane that is called as the inner membrane, then a peptidoglycan layer and finally an outer membrane of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides. There is space between the inner membrane and the peptidoglycan layer called as the periplasmic space. Peptidoclycan layer in the gram positive bacteria are much more thicker than that of the gram negative bacteria. The molecule teichoic acid is present in gram positive bacteria and the porin proteins are characteristically present in the gram negative bacteria. Gram positive bacteria usually produce exotoxins and the gram negative bacteria usually produces endotoxins. Gram positive bacteria gives Violet colour to the gram staining and the gram negative bacteria gives pink colour to the gram staining. In gram staining the bacteria is fixed on slides and then they are treated with Crystal Violet. After that they are treated with iodine and then they are decolourised. If the bacteria is gram negative then it shows Violet colour and if it is gram negative then it shows pink colour. Initially both strains show Violet colour after Crystal Violet treatment but on the treatment with iodine and decolourisation the gram negative bacteria loose colour and become pink. This is because in the gram positive bacteria the Violet crystals bind firmly to the peptidoglycan layer and the colour is not removed in later stages. In gram positive bacteria the colour does not penetrate much because of outer membrane and is lost much during decolourisation.
An ounce is equal to about 28g. If 1g of soil contains 2.5 billion bacteria how many bacteria are in 1 ounce of soil?
Approx 89.3 million of them.
Which type of bacteria are present in curd either gram plus ve or gram -ve bacteria?
The bacteria present in curd are primarily Gram-positive bacteria. These include species like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Gram-negative bacteria are not typically found in curd as the fermentation process favors the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.
What does gram negative on a serratia marcescens gram stain mean?
Bacteria are gram positive or gram negative. Serratia happens to be a gram negative bacteria. They appear pink on a gram stain. Gram positive bacteria stain to a purple color on a gram stain. We can classify and ID bacteria using their gram stain and shape. Some antibiotics only work on gram negative bacteria and some only work on gram positive bacteria. It helps a doctor know which antibiotic to use.
Give the example for gram positivegram negative bacteria?
Typical gram-positive bacteria are staphylococci; typical gram-negative bacteria are bacilli.
What kingdom is gram positive bacteria?
Kingdom Gram-Positive Bacteria is a kingdom within the domain Bacteria.
How is the Gram stain technique be of value in establishing purity of a culture of bacteria?
deffirent bacteria show different response to gram stainig procedure so bacteria are classified into two groups:a(gram positive bacteria)b(gram negitive bacteria)
