Bacterial nutrition varies widely, encompassing autotrophic and heterotrophic modes. Autotrophic bacteria synthesize their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, while heterotrophic bacteria rely on organic materials from their environment. This adaptability allows bacteria to thrive in diverse ecosystems. This post on Nutritional Classification of Bacteria MCQ will help you to understand the classification and types […]

Cell walls are rigid structures surrounding plant, fungal, and bacterial cells, providing support, protection, and regulating cell shape and osmotic pressure. The chemical structure and organization of cell wall in different groups varies considerably. The bacterial cell wall is a protective outer layer made of peptidoglycan, providing structural support. It distinguishes bacterial cells from others […]
