Study Notes
Bacteriology Basics
- The unit of measurement in bacteriology is the micron (μm).
Bacterial Cell Wall
- Some bacteria lack a cell wall, known as Mycoplasma.
Staining
- Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet dye and change into purple during staining.
Bacterial Morphology
- Rod-shaped bacteria are known as Bacillus.
Bacterial Reproduction
- The method of reproduction for bacteria is binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
