Streptococcus belongs to:
gram negative bacteria
firmicutes
actinomycetes
proteobacteria
The answer is the 2nd option - firmicutes
Streptococcus belongs to gram-positive bacteria. Streptococcus belongs to phylum firmicutes. Firmicutes have cocci (round-shaped) or bacillus (rod-shaped). Streptococcus is a gram-positive coccus. Firmicutes have low G and C content in the DNA. Firmicutes have lower guanine (G) and cytosine (C) nitrogenous bases than Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) bases. Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria that have low G and C content in the DNA.
1st option is incorrect because streptococcus belongs to gram-positive bacteria
3rd option is incorrect because actinomycetes are a group of gram-positive bacteria that have high Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) content in the DNA
4th option is incorrect because proteobacteria is a phylum of gram-negative bacteria
Streptococcus belongs to: gram negative bacteria firmicutes actinomycetes proteobacteria
Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that is capable of self-organizing into swarms (a biofilm) to predate other bacteria. Which phylum within the domain Bacteria does it belong to? Select one: a. Cyanobacteria b. Proteobacteria c. Spirochetes d. Low-GC gram-positives
Which of the following statements is FALSE? Gram positive bacteria with a low G/C to A/T ratio are classified as Firmicutes. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus genera are both gram positive Gram positive bacteria with a high G/C to NT ratio are classified as Actinobacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause a mild disease called "walking pneumonia". The "G/C ratio" refers to the molar ratio of Guanine compared to that of Cytosine.
Which of the following groups are gram-negative photoautotrophs and gave rise to the chloroplast via endosymbiosis? Spirochetes Proteobacteria Chlamydias Gram-positive bacteria Cyanobacteria
