Epulopiscium fishelsoni, which reaches length of 0.7 mm. This is the size of many small insects and crustaceans. You can see this bacteria with the unaided eye.
This species is the largest bacterial species ever found, living in the gut of most surgeonfish species, and was discovered in 1985.
First, scientists could not determine what was the odd organism. In 2002, Ester Angert, biologists at the Cornell University (US) proved that the organism was a bacterium, but with very special particularities.
Its wrong.The largest bacteria is Thiomargarita namibiensis.It reaches a size upto 1.2 mm.As described above Epulopiscium fishelsoni is the second largest bacteria.
The following information above is false. that was thaught to be right until 1999 when of of Namibia, Africa there was a bacteria found which is about 500 microns long or .02 inches long.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the growth rate of bacteria when you freeze them?
When bacteria are frozen, their growth rate slows down significantly, and they may even become inactive. Freezing can damage the cell walls and membranes of bacteria, affecting their ability to grow and reproduce quickly. This preservation method is commonly used to store bacteria for long periods without the risk of overgrowth.
Do bacteria require oxygen to grow?
No, bacteria do not always require oxygen to grow. Some bacteria are able to grow and thrive in environments without oxygen, a process known as anaerobic growth.
What type of bacteria does not require oxygen to thrive and grow?
Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to thrive and grow.
Can bacteria grow in distilled water?
Yes, bacteria can grow in distilled water if it is exposed to contaminants or nutrients that support their growth. Distilled water itself does not contain nutrients for bacteria to thrive, but if it comes into contact with substances that provide nutrients, bacteria can grow in it.
What do scientists grow bacteria on?
Scientists often grow bacteria on agar plates because agar provides a solid surface for bacteria to thrive on. Agar is composed of nutrients that bacteria need to grow, making it an ideal medium for cultivating and studying bacteria in a controlled environment.
Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually asexual reproduction can be an advantage to bacteria if it enables them to?
grow larger populations more quickly
Can bacteria grow on hand sanitizer?
my microbiology teacher says it can...she has...and we will in class! alcohol evaporates quickly and the sticky residue that is the base of the sanitizer is actually food for bacteria
Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually how is this better for them than reproducing sexually?
bacteria are organisms that face changes all the time. if the change wipes out all the bacteria and leaves only one, sexual reproduction is a bad survival technique even if it mutates. They can grow to larger Populations more quickly. Apex- T.F.
Why does the freezer preserve food the best?
Bacteria grows slower at colder temperatures. In room temperature, the bacteria will multiply quickly and create mold, but at lower temperatures, the bacteria grows slower, or wont even grow at all.
What is bacteria that grow and reproduce?
All bacteria grow and reproduce
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
Which would breed the most bacteria?
The amount of bacteria that could breed in a given time would depend on several factors. Bacteria require a source of nutrients, a warm environment, an energy source such as oxygen, and pH to grow and reproduce quickly.
Does bacteria grow quickly with potential hazardous foods with water activity .85 or higher?
Yes, bacteria can grow quickly in high water activity foods with a water activity of 0.85 or higher. This level of water activity creates a favorable environment for bacterial growth and can lead to food spoilage or foodborne illness if proper handling and storage practices are not followed.
What bacteria don't need oxygen to grow?
Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to grow. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Bacteroides species. These bacteria can survive and grow in environments with little to no oxygen.
What is the term that describes bacteria that need air to grow?
OxyphotobacteriaAnoxyphotobacteria is the term that describes bacteria that don't need air to grow
Why donot bacteria multiply quickly in trail mix containing granola and dried fruit?
Trail mix with granola and dried fruit tend to last longer. As a result, it takes them for bacteria spores to congregate and grow on them.
Why does food stuffs go of more quickly in the summer than in the winter?
Because bacteria and moulds grow quicker in warmer weather than in cold weather.
