Is mycobacterium phlei gram positive or negative?

Although mycoplasma lack a cell wall and therefore test gram negative, they are considered to be descendents of 'nonsporulating and endospore forming gram-positive bacteria' (Madigan et al., 2009), such as Lactobacilli, Bacilli and Streptococci, (Dandekar et al., 2002), which have lost their cell wall. Mycoplasmas are therfore classed as gram- positive bacteria. This is supported by ribosomal RNA and DNA analysis.


Mycobacterium phlei morphology?

rods


Does Mycobacterium phlei form capsules?

No, Mycobacterium phlei is not known to form capsules. Capsule formation is more commonly associated with certain pathogenic bacteria to help evade the host immune response. Mycobacterium phlei is a non-pathogenic soil bacteria and does not typically form capsules.


What is the proces of sporulation?

In bacteria, sporulation is the process of endospore formation which takes place inside Gram positive bacteria.


Whats a thick coated resistant structure made by some gram positive bacteria to protect against harsh environments?

endospore


Does Mycobacterium phlei grow on EMB agar?

Mycobacterium phlei is a non-fastidious organism that is commonly found in soil and water. It is not commonly grown on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar, as EMB agar is more selective for gram-negative enteric bacteria. Instead, Mycobacterium phlei is typically cultured on media specifically designed for mycobacteria, such as Middlebrook agar or Lowenstein-Jensen agar.


Small rounded thick-walled resting cell?

I believe that you are referring to a bacterial endospore. Only a small number of bacteria can produce these (Gram-positive Firmicutes). Endospores are very tough and allow the bacteria that can produce them to survive high temperatures, pressures, drought, etc.


Can pseudomonas aeruginosa produce endospores?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium and does not produce endospores. Endospore formation is a characteristic primarily seen in Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium species.


Is endospores are gram positive or gram negative?

Endospores are typically produced by Gram-positive bacteria. The endospore structure helps these bacteria survive harsh conditions by remaining dormant until more favorable conditions occur.


What is A thick walled protective spore that forms inside a bacterial call and resists harsh conditions is called a?

An Endospore.


Is a bacterial cell an endospore?

yes, by a lot


Why is it essential to apply heat during endospore staining?

Applying heat during endospore staining helps in the penetration of the primary stain, usually malachite green, into the endospore wall. Heat acts as a mordant that allows the stain to bind more effectively to the endospore, enhancing its visibility under the microscope. This technique improves the contrast between the endospore and the rest of the cell, aiding in their identification and study.
