What is the basic structure of a bacterium?
Bacteria are the unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms. Bacteria are smallest in size and are largest in numbers among living organisms. Bacteria were first discovered by a Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1670 in rain water, then in pond water and in scraping of his teeths. He consider them as animal cules. They show some plants like characters as presence of rigid cell wall and reproduction by spores. The average size varies in micrometers as smallest one is cocci i.e. from 0.5-3.5 microns and largest is spirillum 15-22 microns. They can be rod like ( E.col, Rhizobium), spherical may be monococcus, dicoccus, streptococcus (in chain), staphylococcus( in an irregular bunch), helical, vibrio, spiral, or filamentus. Some time they are pleomorphic e.g. Acetobacter. They are chemolithotrophs or chemoautotrophs and also heterotrophs. Reproduction is either vegitative or asexual ( by conidia, or endospores). True sexual reproduction and alteration of generation are absent in bacteria, and can be done by conjugation, transformation and transduction. According to six-kingdom classification the bacteria comes under Monera i.e. of prokaryotes. According to the Cavalier-Smith two EMPIRE and eight KINGDOM classification the bacterial Empire contains two kingdoms the Eubacteria and the archaeobacteria
What specific terms are used to describe the oxygen requires of bacteria?
AA = strict anaerobes: Clostridium, Sarcina, and many genera fromthe rumen of cattle, intestines and similar sites. Strict anaerobes grow only were oxygen is absent. Some are more sensitive to oxygen than others. Some species, especially those from the rumen and intestines, die rapidly when exposed to oxygen. Most Clostridium are not killed by such brief exposure but can't grow in oxygen. Some species of Clostridium can grow slowly in the presence of air. No species of Clostridium is able to produce spores when free (uncombined) oxygen is present.FA = facultative anaerobes: Escherichia, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Proteus grow best in oxygen but can grow in the absence of oxygen by stealing oxygen from foods such as nitrate, sugars, and other "honorary oxygens". The result of this is production of nitrite, organic acids (lactic acid, formic acid, etc.), and other substances which are often foul-smelling. Tubes containing facultative anaerobes contain growth throughout when the bacteria are evenly distributed, but there is usually a heavier growth on the surface of the agar because they grow best in air.MA = microaerephilic: Azospirillum, Aquaspirillum, Cytophagarequire oxygen but grow best just below the surface of the agar where oxygen is reduced. This type of bacteria is relatively uncommon in laboratories because some won't grow on GST and other common media. It is difficult to find a species which will grow in a well defined band a millimeter or so below the surface to produce a mice band below the surfarce as seen here. Often the band is so near the surface that you can confuse these for aerobic species, however, they do not grow profusely on the surface of the agar like aerobic species.A = strict aerobes: Acetobacter, Arthobacter,Azomonas, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Xanthomonasgrow only on the surface of the agar where they get plenty of oxygen. Most produce a heavy growth above the agar which may be a liquid. Some bacteria produce slimes or capsules and these produce exceptional profuse growth above the agar and may burrow into the agar slightly. The liguid containing cells may run down between the walls of the tube and the agar plug, but you should not confuse this with growth.I = indifferent: Lactobaccilus, some Streptococcus, and most other milk organisms grow equally well on the surface and within the agar because they are indifferent to the oxygen level. Notice that the bacteria grow uniformly on the surface and to the bottom of tube provided the cells are distributed uniformly. The growth is similar to that of facultative anaerobes except FAs have a heavy growth of bacteria at the surface. At the surface indifferent bacteria may have barely noticeable growth of cells. We know they can grow on the surface because they do so when spread on a pertri plate. Actually, many of these bacteria require vitamines, amino acids, and other growth factors and the colonies may be tiny even on the media most suitable for them.
What is an acetobacter?
An acetobacter is a member of the genus Acetobacter, of acetic acid bacteria.
What Gram stain is acetobacter?
Acetobacter is typically Gram-negative.
Which bacteria produce vinegar in sugar solutions?
Acetobacter aceti and Acetobacter pasteurianus are the main bacteria involved in the production of vinegar from sugar solutions. These bacteria convert ethanol into acetic acid through fermentation, leading to the sour taste associated with vinegar.
What type of bacteria is acetobacter spp?
bacterium
What is LGIP medium used for Acetobacter?
LGIP medium is used for the growth of Acetobacter, a type of bacteria that produces acetic acid through fermentation. This medium provides the necessary nutrients for the growth of Acetobacter and is typically used in laboratories for culturing and studying the bacteria.
What is the product of acetobacter spp?
Acetobacter spp. produce acetic acid through the fermentation of ethanol in the presence of oxygen, resulting in the production of vinegar.
How do you spell pronounciation?
The correct spelling is "pronunciation."
What is the scientific name for the bacteria used for making vinegar?
The scientific name for the bacteria used for making vinegar is Acetobacter aceti. It is responsible for converting alcohol into acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, through the process of fermentation.
If wine were contaminated with Acetobacter what end product would be created?
It will produce vinegar.
What is the pronounciation of word pronounciation?
ron-de-vu
What is dog in French with pronounciation?
A dog is 'un chien' in French. An audio sample is in link for the pronounciation.
What is the using of bacteria acetobacter in food?
they turn milk into yogurt among other things
