What You Need to Know:


You should be able to:

  1. identify the three basic shapes of bacteria and any variations on those shapes ,
  2. name the various types of eubacteria and their characteristics and give an example of each,
  3. identify by sight representatives of eubacteria and give their characteristics,
  4. summarize the nitrogen cycle,
  5. descibe the basic bacterial flagellum,
  6. distinguish between eubacteria and archaebacteria,
  7. name and explain the various types of archaebacteria,
  8. distinguish between eubacteria and cyanobacteria,
  9. name the pigments associated with the cyanobacteria, and
  10. identify by sight representative genera of the cyanobacteria and give their characteristics.

Exercises: Fill in the Blank.

  1. , , and are three basic types of eubacteria.
  2. A comma shaped bacteria would be referred to as a .
  3. A cluster of eight bacterial cells is called a .
  4. Long chains of spherical bacteria would be called .
  5. This group of eubacteria is similar to the fungi, found in soils, and one species is the source of the drug streptomycin.
  6. This is an enteric bacterium found in our small intestine and producing vitamin K.
  7. This endospore forming bacterium is responsible for botulism and/or food poisoning.
  8. The unusual amino acid important in the structure of a bacterial flagellum is .
  9. is responsible for the disease Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The vector of the disease is the common .
  10. These are salt-loving archaebaceria.
  11. is a genus of cyanobacteria which moves back and forth in a swaying motion. It's also an indicator of polluted water.
  12. The genus is also known as Witches' butter or star jelly and can be found growing in clumps on the ground.
  13. The genus , which is very similar in shape and structure to Nostoc can cause algal blooms in Lake Okeechobee and result in fish kills.
  14. The spore structure found in cyanobacteria is called the .
