Question
Chapter 4, Problem 15TF
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The species level is a readily defined, distinctive and natural taxonomic category. A species is a type of organism that can mate and produce viable offspring with the organism of its own kind. This definition of species does not work on bacteria because they do not exhibit sexual mode of reproduction.

- For this assignment you will create a dichotomous key to help you Identify Bacteria (which are a pain in the bum to identify on the species level.) We will be focused on the general terms of bacteria and the only Phylum that will be addressed is the Cyanobacteria. Use the following to create a dichotomous key to begin to identify Bacteria: BACTERIA Bacillus Coccus Spirillium Phylum Cyanobacteria Gram (+) (-) Root nodules To Begin use the following question: Does the organism exhibit a membrane bound nucleus?arrow_forwardA research microbiologist looking at evolutionary relatedness between two bacterial species is more likely to use Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology than Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology.

We use similarties and differences between organisms to determine their relationships by placing them within the tree. Instructions (1) Pick an unknown bacterium from the top of this sheet, and beginning at the top of the tree use the prompt at each junction to decide which branch to move down.
