INTRODUCTION TO THE BACTERIAL CELL (EUBACTERIA)
Bacteria (singular: bacterium) constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a wide range of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most habitats on the planet, growing in soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals, providing outstanding examples of mutualism in the digestive tracts of humans, termites and cockroaches. Bacteria are microscopic living things that were among the first creatures to inhabit the earth. They can be found almost anywhere, and they come in all forms and shapes, some being harmful to other living things like man, while some are beneficial. People are often scared of being contaminated or infected by bacteria but the types of bacteria which are actually useful in maintaining health and preventing disease.
CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA
The classification of the invisible bacterial life. Bacterial classification is based on several major properties,
CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA BASED ON GRAM STAINING
This method of classification of bacteria was discovered by Hans Joachim Christian Gram 1883, a Danish Physician, while attempting to differentiate bacteria from human tissue by different staining methods. He noted differences in stain retention by bacteria due to
