Study Notes
Gram-Positive Bacteria
- Endospore formers include two main types: Clostridium and Bacillus, which have the ability to survive in extreme conditions due to their endospore-forming capabilities.
- Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are both spherical in shape, but differ in their arrangement: Staphylococci form clusters, while Streptococci form chains.
This quiz covers Gram-positive bacteria, including endospore formers like Clostridium and Bacillus, as well as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, which differ in their shape and formation patterns.
