Three Domain Classification System: Bacteria, Archaea And Eukarya

Improved Essays
The three domains classification system includes, Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya
Bacteria are prokaryotes unicellular cells that live almost everywhere. They reproduce through a process known as binary fission. The cell walls of Bacteria, unlike the Archaea and the Eukarya, contain peptidoglycan. Bacteria are sensitive to some antibiotics but are resistant to most antibiotics that affect Eukarya.
Archaea are prokaryotic cells that can live in a very hot environment. The cells do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea are not known to cause disease in humans or animals. They also have membranes that contains branched hydrocarbon.
Eukarya have eukaryotic cells .Unlike Bacteria and Archaea, they possess a nucleus. Not all Eukarya possess cells with

    This section will be a narrative summary of the characteristic of my unknown bacterium that’ll touch base on the morphology, cell well structure, temperature tolerance, antibiotic resistance, physiology and other interesting experiment results. First is going through the morphology of my unknown bacterium; will be talking about the shape, cell wall structure, and other characteristic using the results from tests such as gram staining, simple staining, and spore staining. According to my lab notebook, the result from gram staining of my known is seen to be a rounded shape, cocci shape all bunched and clustered together like a bunch of grapes at 100x using the microscope (Kaddo, 2017, pg. 22). The color after the safranin wash from gram staining…

    1) Alcaligenes faecalis is a Gram-negative coccobacilli that is motile, oxidase positive, catalase positive, non-spore-forming, non-fermenting, slow growing, and citrate positive obligate aerobe (Mahon et al., 2014) (Sachdeva et al., 1963). Its colony morphology is flat, thin, and rough with irregular edging (Mahon et al., 2014) and the flagella varies between the usual shape versus the curly structure, however, both shapes do not exist on the same individual bacteria (Leifson, 1960). The bacteria is most commonly found in watery environments (Bizet et al. ,1997) however, it was sequestered in 1896 by Petruschky from stale beer (Desai, 1960).…

    Literature Research: Staphylococcus is a type of Gram-positive bacteria that are commonly found together in random clusters. They are sometimes found in the same habitat as Micrococcus and can be differentiated because of the occurrence of cytochromes (5). They are typically facultative anaerobes or microaerophils and are able to produce catalase, making it possible for them to convert hydrogen peroxide to water to avoid potential damage. The major product of fermentation is lactate and they are not able to ferment citrate (4). There are several different species in the genus Staphylococcus such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus.…

    As shown in Table 1, of Experiment A, the Staphylococcus Aureus consisted of a perfect circle shape, it had tested positive for the gram-stain test which meant that the stain of the bacterial cells was purple, and the peptidoglycan cell walls were thick. Furthermore, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa tested gram negative which places it with a thin peptidoglycan cell wall. This type of bacteria possesses a rod-like shape with a medium sized irregular shape. Also, the bacteria E. Coli are collectively found in large clumps with a rod shape. E. Coli tested negative for gram staining, which is the same as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, where it possesses a thin…

They occur singly or in pairs or chains. 1.2 Economic importance: Enterococcus faecalis is also used as a probiotic for production of Mediterranean cheese and meat products that is normally responsible for organoleptic nature of final product in fermentation reactions. 1.3 Habitat: Enterococci are extremely hardy microbes such that they are able to inhabit at wide range of temperatures (10°and 45°C), pH values (4•6 and…

    INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction.…

    S, 2004). Their anatomy features Gram-positive, nonsporulating, polyploidic cocci, lacking flagella and motility and resistance to hydrogen peroxide and other agents that damage DNA because of a highly efficient DNA repair system. Although they are considered Gram-positive, they may be an intermediate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and form a distinct bacterial lineage of extremophiles; the Firmicutes phylum has a diversity of microbes associated with the human gastrointestinal tract, especially with fatty acids absorption which makes it connected with obesity when a change in the microbiome occurs, and dominate the bowel environment being linked to human bowel inflammatory diseases. Are also found in at least 60 mammalian species. The Proteobacteria, also known as purple nonsulfur bacteria , is divided in beta, gamma and epsilon Proteobacteria and its organisms are Gram-positive and can grow in an anaerobic environment, using oxyanions of arsenic and as terminal electron acceptors.…
