The following points highlight the top nine features of a bacterial cell. The features are: 1. Pili or Fimbria 2. Flagella and Locomotion 3. Endo-Flagella 4. Glycocalyx 5. Pros-theca 6. Cell Wall 7. Cytoplasmic Membrane 8. The Cytoplasm 9. Spores and Cysts. Feature # 1. Pili or Fimbriae: The surface of many bacteria, particularly that of Gram-negative ones, is covered [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Taxonomy of Archaebacteria 2. General Characteristics of Archaebacteria 3. Representative Types 4. Phylogeny. Taxonomy of Archaebacteria: The domain Archaea has been divided into two Phyla: 1. Crenarchaeota and 2. Euryarchaeota. The first includes the extreme thermophiles, acidophiles and sulfur-metabolizing archaebacteria. They are mostly anaerobic and they occur generally in geo-thermally—heated environment, like [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definitions of Taxonomy 2. Objectives of Taxonomy 3. Characteristics. Definitions of Taxonomy: Taxonomy is the science dealing with classification. In biology or in any other field, systematic classification is necessary to bring an order in the apparent chaos, so that the different types in a heterogeneous assemblage can be arranged into groups [...]
