the following bacteria is either helpful or harmful. determine which and why: Streptomyces, staphylococcus, and rhizobium | Streptomyces: help; it is a bacteria that produces more than 1/2 of our antibodies staphylococcus: harm; it is puss and is a toxin if you eat it rhizobium: help; it has the ability to be nitrogen fixed and is good for soil so farmers like this |
explain how gram positive and gram negative bacteria are constructed and how it relates to the way they stain. | gram positive:peptidoglycan – color purple: cell wall contains large amounts of peptidoglycans wall retains the purple die so they are purple gram negative:little peptidoglycan – color pink: very thin wall don’t retain purple die therefore appear pink |
