Bacteria

Common media used to determine motility and growth patterns of bacteria include agar-based media such as nutrient agar, motility agar, or semisolid agar. These media allow for observing colony morphology, motility (through diffusion in semisolid agar), and growth patterns (e.g., pellicle formation). Additionally, specialized media like SIM (sulfide-indole-motility) agar can be used to detect hydrogen sulfide production, indole production, and motility of specific bacteria.

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce independently, while viruses are not cells and require a host cell to replicate. Bacteria are larger and can be treated with antibiotics, whereas viruses are much smaller and are typically treated with antiviral medications.

Between 63 degrees and 37 degrees Fahrenheit, most bacteria will either become inactive or grow at a slower rate. The growth of bacteria is significantly reduced at lower temperatures, helping to prevent spoilage and foodborne illnesses. Refrigeration at temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit is commonly used to slow bacterial growth and preserve food.

Yes, Serratia marcescens typically tests negative for citrate utilization in citrate utilization tests. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate-permease needed to import citrate into the cell, resulting in a negative citrate test.

Extra chromosomal DNA - plasmids- are useful to bacteria as they possess favourable genes conferring resistance to certain toxins/antibiotics and/or assist with the survival of the bacteria through metabolic benefits. The extra chromosomal DNA is only maintained if it has a purpose so a plasmid conferring antibiotic resistance will not be maintained by a bacterium in an antibiotic free environment...

Cryptosporidium is not a bacteria; it is a protozoan parasite. It can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals through contaminated food or water sources.

It's neither.. its considered apart of the protist kingdom. Fungi have their own kingdom as does bacteria, animals, archaea and plants.

Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists are all called Eukaryotes because they all are similar in that they all have a nucleus and things called "membrane bound organelles". They are generally considered more complex then Archaea and Bacteria.

The amazing thing about Eukaryotes is that originally they were once bacteria as well. However millions of years ago a bacteria engulfed another bacteria which kept living inside the other bacteria and released nutrients from inside the bacteria which actually helped it survive. That original bacteria turned into the "membrane bound organelles" we find in eukaryotes today!!!!!! The nucleus of the eukaryotes (which bacteria and archaea dont have) may have arisen from an engulfed virus but we still dont know if that is correct. :S

Some Protists can cause infection while most don't.

The medical term for a highly contagious bacterial skin infection characterized by skin pus is "impetigo." It is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria and is more common in children. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and keeping the affected area clean.

Typhoid or Typhoid fever is an infection that causes diarrhea and a rash -- most commonly due to a type of bacteria called Salmonella typhi.

Sometimes confused with Typhus, which is caused by one of two types of bacteria: Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii.

Many ancient phototrophic and heterotrophic bacteria that lived in colonial associations are known as cyanobacteria. These bacteria played a crucial role in shaping Earth's early environment through oxygen production and carbon fixation. Collectively, they are sometimes referred to as blue-green algae due to their photosynthetic capabilities.

One way to plan an experiment would be to introduce a known amount of bacteria near the pollen grains and observe if there is movement of the pollen grains. A control group without bacteria could also be set up for comparison. Additionally, samples could be taken at different time points to track the movement of pollen grains and determine if it correlates with the presence of bacteria.

Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as Group A Streptococcus, is the bacterial organism responsible for causing rheumatic fever.

viruses are a type of microbe, although they are not meant to be referred to that term because they do not exceed all the seven life processes

A halophile would be an organism that thrives in (or requires a) very salty environments. A halotolerant organism would be able to survive in a salty enviroment, but can also live outside of this environment.

Bacteria and cyanobacteria are placed in the same kingdom, Monera, because they are both prokaryotic organisms, lacking a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They also share similar characteristics such as single-celled structure, small size, and ability to reproduce asexually through binary fission. This classification is based on their fundamental biological differences compared to eukaryotic organisms.

Refrigerating and freezing can slow down the growth of bacteria, but they will not necessarily kill all bacteria present in the food. It's important to follow proper food safety practices, such as cooking foods to the appropriate temperature, to ensure that harmful bacteria are destroyed.

No, Staphylococcus aureus typically produces negative results on the triple sugar iron test as it cannot ferment the sugars present in the medium.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth, reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. These bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants, such as soybeans and peas, and can save farmers millions of dollars in fertilizer costs each year.

A bacterial cell is classified as a prokaryote because it lacks a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Instead, its genetic material is found in a region called the nucleoid, and its internal structure is less complex compared to eukaryotic cells.

A procedure called "sinus transillumination" may, or may not, also be helpful. Using a flashlight pressed up against the skin of the cheek, the practitioner will look in the patient's open mouth.

When bacteria take up DNA fragments through the process of transformation, they can incorporate the foreign DNA into their own genome through recombination. This can lead to genetic diversity and acquisition of new traits, such as antibiotic resistance.

Nucleus

Chlamydia is a eubacteria. Most bacteria are eubacteria unless the bacteria live in extreme environments.

It wasn’t until 1879 that gonorrhea was discovered by Albert Neisser.Gonorrhea can grow easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.
People get gonorrhea by having sex with someone who has the disease. “Having sex” means anal, vaginal, or oral sex. Gonorrhea can still be transmitted via fluids even if a man does not ejaculate.
Gonorrhea can also be spread from an untreated mother to her baby during childbirth.
Some men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all. However, common symptoms in men include a burning sensation when urinating, or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis that usually appears 1 to 14 days after infection. Sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles. Long ago, this was called 'clap' as people though that giving the penis a good 'clapping' would remove the bugs causing the infection.

Most women with gonorrhea do not have any symptoms. Even when a woman has symptoms, they are often mild and can be mistaken for a bladder or vaginal infection.
In women, gonorrhea can spread into the uterus (womb) or fallopian tubes (egg canals) and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The symptoms may be mild or can be very severe and can include abdominal pain and fever. PID can lead to internal abscesses (pus-filled pockets that are hard to cure) and chronic (long-lasting) pelvic pain. (PID is a street name for Pus In Dere.)
There is new strain now and it was found to be extremely resistant to all cephalosporin-class antibiotics -- the last remaining drugs still effective in treating gonorrhea.
