|
Gram Positive
|
(+) Absorb only purple, so appear purple
-Contains Peptidoglycan (no lipids) -Eubacteria |
|
Gram Negative
|
(-) Absorb red stain, appear pink (extra layer of lipids in membrane)
-No Peptidoglycan, but has lipids -Archaebacteria |
|
Photoautotrophs
|
-Make own food by light
|
|
Chemoautotrophs
|
-Make own food from chemicals
|
|
Chemoheterotrophs
|
-Get energy from inorganic substances
|
|
Photoheterotrophs
|
-Get energy from light, but by eating something else
|
|
Aerobes
|
-Requires constant oxygen
|
|
Obligate Anaerobes
|
-Must live in the absence of oxygen
|
|
Faculatative Anaerobes
|
-May live with or without oxygen
|
|
Flagellum
|
-Used for movement (tail/appendages)
|
|
Pili
|
-Short appendages used to stick to each other or surfaces
-Sex pili for conjugation (reproduction) |
|
Endospore
|
-Thick, protective coat.
-Created during very harsh conditions to remain dormant (hibernate) until conditions are favorable. |
|
Actinomycetes
|
-Branching cell chains
|
|
Pathogenic
|
-Small %, disease causing
|
|
Exotoxins

|
Endotoxins
|
-Toxins in cell walls, can release or eat your cells (breakdown)
|
|
