What to Focus On

  • Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes without a true nucleus and without chlorophyll.
  • Bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan.
  • Bacteria may be spherical, rod-shaped, spiral, or comma-shaped.
  • Cocci are spherical, bacilli are rod-shaped, spirilla are spiral, and vibrio are comma-shaped.
  • Diplococci occur in pairs, streptococci in chains, and staphylococci in clusters.
  • Bacteria are heterotrophic and may be saprotrophic or parasitic.
  • Antibiotics are made by living organisms and stop the growth of disease-causing microbes.
  • Penicillin came from a mould, not a bacterium.
  • Streptomycin came from Streptomyces griseus.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Penicillin is produced by bacteria.

Streptomycin is produced by a mould.

Bacteria and fungi are plants because they are living organisms.

Memory Tips
