The process of collecting characteristics of your unknown bacterium can be helped by the use of a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is a flowchart that can be used to identify an organism.
a) in your own words explain how to create and use a dichotomous key to identify unknown bacteria
35) Researchers have found a new type of bacteria, and they want to determine its phylum. What would
be the most reliable method to do so?
A) Conducting a Gram-stain test
B) Performing an analysis of metabolic pathways
C) Determining the ribosomal RNA sequence of the bacteria
D) Analyzing the morphological characteristics of the bacteria
What is the correct way to write this microbe’s name: bacillus subtilis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus Subtilis, or Bacillus subtilis? Identify the genus name and the species epithet.
