Study Notes
Cell Wall Presence and Properties
- Bacteria are either Gram-positive, Gram-negative, acid-fast or lack a cell wall
- Gram-positive bacteria have a thick cell wall
- Gram-negative bacteria have a thin cell wall
- Acid-fast bacteria have a mycolic acid layer
- Bacteria without a cell wall include Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella pneumophila, Rickettsia, Treponema
Oxygen Utilization
- Obligate aerobes require oxygen for growth
- Obligate anaerobes cannot grow in the presence of oxygen
- Facultative anaerobes can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen
- Aerotolerant anaerobes do not require oxygen but can tolerate its presence
- Microaerophiles require low levels of oxygen but high levels are toxic
