Bacteria have a cell wall (not a cellulose cell wall like plants though) and some have a flagellum for movement. The flagellum is like a tail and enables motility. Bacteria also contain circular DNA situated in the cytoplasm. In addition, bacteria have plasmids, which are circular loops of DNA that are useful in genetic engineering. Bacteria also have a cell mebrane and ribosomes. Some bacteria also have a slimy capsule and hair like structures called pili to help them attach to cells.

Is chlamydia associated with the morphological characteristics of bacteria?

Yes, although it's an obligate intracellular parasite, it has the morphological charactestics of bacteria.


What are the morphological characteristics of a bacteria that allow them to behave as pathogens?

Bacteria that behave as pathogens often possess specific morphological characteristics that contribute to their pathogenicity. These characteristics include the presence of adhesive structures like pili and fimbriae, which enable them to attach to host tissues and evade the immune response. Some bacteria have capsule or slime layers that protect them from the host's defense mechanisms, and flagella that allow them to move and spread within the body. Additionally, certain bacteria can form biofilms, which provide a protective environment for them to thrive and resist antibiotics.


Advantages of positive and negative staining for morphological study of bacteria?

Positive staining allows the bacteria to be directly stained and visualized under a microscope, which helps in studying their size, shape, and arrangement. It also provides valuable information about the cell wall structure and composition. Negative staining, on the other hand, allows the visualization of bacteria that are otherwise difficult to stain due to their thin or delicate cell walls. It provides better contrast and allows for the observation of fine morphological details of the bacteria.


What is the morphological category of the pseudomonas bacteria?

Members of the genus Pseudomonas display the following defining characteristics: • Rod shaped •Gram-negative • One or more polar flagella, providing motility • Aerobic, although some species have been found to be facultative anaerobes (e.g. P. aeruginosa) •Non–spore forming • Positive catalase test


What is 3 different types of bacterias?

Three different types of bacteria are Escherichia coli (E. coli), Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli is commonly found in the intestines and can cause foodborne illnesses. Streptococcus pyogenes can cause strep throat and skin infections, while Staphylococcus aureus can lead to skin infections and food poisoning.

In regards to taxonomic classification of bacteria what is the relationship between physiological and genetic differentiation of bacteria?

You're lame typing the answer as exactly as it is on the lab manual......I.V. Genetic differences between bacteria causes specific physiological differences among the bacteria, such as certain morphological characteristics as well as what compounds the bacteria can ferment and produce as by-products in this process.
