Everything you need to know about microbial diversity. Some of the questions are as follows:- Q.1. What are protoctista? Ans. Lynn Margulis in 1985 placed algae and protozoa together and called the group protoctista instead of calling protista. Q.2. What is protista? Ans. A kingdom of organisms that lacks true tissue differentiation which include many algae and protozoa. Ernst Haeckel [...]
Some of the important groups that represent bacterial diversity are as follows:- (1) Spirochetes (e.g., Treponema pallidum and Borrelia recurrentis) (2) Aerobic/microaerophilic, motile, helical/vibroid gram negative bacteria (e.g., Spirillum volutans, Aquaspirillum Bengal, Campylobacter, Helicobacter pylori, Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus) (3) Non-motile or rarely motile Gram negative curved bacteria (e.g., Cyclobacterium, Ancyclobacter and Brachyarchus) (4) Gram negative aerobic/microaerophilic rods and cocci (e.g., Pseudomonas, [...]
