Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Unicellular organism causes disease to humans like bacteria, archae etc. These organisms usually get into humans via opportunistic and contamination mode.
Case summary:
Some unicellular organisms are discussed in this case with the morphological and physiological character and also the sequence similarity of r RNA base. Comparing the two dichotomous key for these organisms, suggest which key is useful in laboratory identification and for classification.

Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis are very closely related species and cannot be distinguished clearly by biochemical tests and 16S rRNA sequencing. Designate TWO (2) ways that you may use to differentiate these two species.
How was Brocadia anammoxidan named? What or who was it named after?
(Organisms are often named for where they were found, unique morphological or metabolic features, name of the person who discovered it, etc. Attempt both genus and species name. For example, if my organism was Xanthomonas oryzae, I would Google “Xanthomonas word origin.” and “oryzae word origin.” Often a word origin is Greek or Latin, so Google your word followed by “Greek” or “Latin”)
From the pictures interpret the tree using real branch lengths. What can you infer?
How many major clades can you see? Do they belong to the same class, order, family, and genus? Why or why not?
