Bacterial metabolism is diverse and fascinating, with bacteria using various processes to access energy and survive in harsh environments. They can use gases other than oxygen for respiration, ferment organic materials, photosynthesize, and survive on inorganic materials. Bacteria also use energy for movement and internal functions. Bacterial metabolism has applications in fermented foods and animal […]
Bacteria are classified based on shared characteristics such as RNA sequences, shape, biochemistry, and outer membrane. They are divided into three domains and exhibit extreme diversity. Classification can be difficult due to the absence of complex structures and DNA transfer. Techniques such as shape, size, Gram stain test, metabolism, and molecular analysis are used for […]
