Bacteriology

These are the bacteria that can use sulfate to accept the electrons during anaerobic conditions. These are basically the anaerobic bacteria that reduce sulfate into hydrogen sulfide. Examples: Examples are purple sulfur bacteria and ...

Bacteria grow in their optimal conditions. They need optimal temperature and pH to grow. When these conditions change, bacteria are unable to grow and divide. Bacteriostatic is the effect in which the bacterial growth stops while the bactericidal effect is ...

Heterotrophic bacteria are those bacteria that cannot prepare their own food and obtain food from the environment. These bacteria cannot convert light energy into chemical energy and need ingredients for their metabolism. These bacteria need organic carbon and can use ...

First, Archaea bacteria were classified in the eubacteria kingdom. Later in 1970, scientists separate the bacteria into two kingdoms as Archaea-bacteria and eubacteria. Below are some of the differences that are present among archaea and Bacteria. We have made two ...

Nitrifying bacteria convert? Nitrifying bacteria are those bacteria that can convert nitrite into nitrate. These bacteria do this process into 2 steps: Ammonification Nitrification Nitrifying bacteria are chemoautotrophs that are commonly are Nitrobacter and Nitrospira. These bacteria contain nitrite oxidase enzyme that can ...
