Classification of Actinomycetes | Microbiology

Actinomycetes are classified into 7 families. The classification is based on hyphal and reproductive structures. Family 1: Streptomycetaceae: Hyphae non-fragmented, aerial mycelium with chains of spores with 5 to 50 or more conidia per chain e.g. Streptomyces, Microdlobaspone and Sporictilhya. Family 2: Nocardiaceae: Hyphae typically fragmented e.g. Nocardia, Pseudonocardia. Family 3: Micromononsporaceae: Hyphae non-fragmented conidia borne singly or in pairs [...]

Further named as Division Myxomycota (fungi with plasmodia or pseudo-plasmodia) while the majority of fungi consist of filamentous structure and named as Eumycota. Division I: Myxomycota: It consists of four classes: Class I: Acrasiomycetes: Assimilative phase is free living amoebae which unite as [...]

Cell Structure of Cyanobacteria | Microbiology

Like bacteria, the cell of cyanobacteria also consists of a mucilaginous layer called sheath, the cell wall, plasma membrane and cytoplasm. These are shown in Fig. 4.32 and described below: 1. Sheath: Usually the cell of cyanobacteria are covered by a hygroscopic mucilaginous sheath which provides protection to cell from unfavourable conditions and keeps the cells moist (Fig. 4.32). Thickness, [...]
