Cyanobacteria are larger than most bacteria, and may secrete a thick cell wall. More importantly, cyanobacteria may form large layered structure.
Very few ancient stromatolites contain fossilized microbes. While features of some stromatolites are suggestive of biological activity.
There are two main types of slime layers: capsular slime layers, which are organized, discrete layers that are tightly bound to the cell wall; and slime capsules, which are unorganized, loose matrices that surround the cell. Slime layers serve to protect bacteria from desiccation, phagocytosis, and antibiotics.
Two thinner layers of peptidoglycan separated by a small gap. This allows the stain to escape being set and thus these bacteria are Gram negative.
Capsules and slime layers are both forms of glycocalyx produced by bacteria, but it is not true that they are always present in all bacterial species. Capsules are typically well-defined and tightly attached to the cell wall, providing protection and aiding in adherence, while slime layers are more loosely associated and can be easily washed away. Additionally, capsules and slime layers do not serve the same functions in all bacteria; their presence and role can vary significantly among different species.
Both slime layer and capsule are outer protective layers found in some bacteria. They help bacteria adhere to surfaces and protect them from desiccation, predation, and the host immune system. The main difference is that capsules are more organized and tightly bound than slime layers.
Very few ancient stromatolites contain fossilized microbes. While features of some stromatolites are suggestive of biological activity.
Zythymns are a group of prehistoric bacteria that lived mostly in intestines, therefore were discovered in fossilised dinosaur poo!
Fossilised ancient life-forms. There are even fossilsed bacteria from 30 billion years ago.
it is if it is fossilised
they are plants
Fossilised
ignious
Their bones
cranidos
Yes horses can be fossilised. anything can be fossilised as log as it has a skeleton.
nothing.
In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and is essential to the survival of many bacteria. Bacteria have been classified into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria possess thick cell wall consisting of many layers of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. Gram-negative bacteria have relatively thin cell wall consisting of few layers of peptidoglycan.
