Size and Shape
Spiral-shaped bacteria are called this.
Spirila
This type of bacteria can make its own food.
Autotroph (photoautotroph)
Type of reproduction that involves the copying of the DNA and the splitting into 2 new cells.
Binary fission
Bacteria that stain violet when exposed to gram stain
Gram positive
Bacterial diseases are treated with drugs called this.
Antibiotics
Rod-shaped bacteria are called this.
Bacilli
This type of bacteria does use oxygen for its life processes.
Aerobic bacteria
Number of cells formed after binary fission.
Identify image A as gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
Gram negative
This is an example of a food made from bacteria.
Cheese or yogurt
Bacteria move using this structure.
Flagella
This type of bacteria does not need oxygen to survive.
Anaerobic bacteria
During this type of reproduction one bacteria can transfer its DNA into another bacteria by means of a pilus (pili).
Conjugation
Identify image A as gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
The viruses that infect bacteria
Bacteriophages
Bacilli are arranged in chains
Streptobacilli
Can survive on extremely hot temperatures.
Thermophilic bacteria
In this type of reproduction a bacterium takes up a piece of DNA floating in its environment.
Transformation
Safranin
Growth phase marked by predictable doublings of the population.
Log phase
Surrounds the outside of all bacteria
Cell wall
Can survive on either cold or hot temperatures.
Mesophilic bacteria
Viruses that infect bacteria move short pieces of chromosomal DNA from one bacterium to another "by accident.”
Mordant used in gram staining.
Iodine
This pattern can be graphically represented as the number of living cells in a population over time
Bacterial growth curve
