Bacteria can be classified by shape. For the following bacteria species, give their basic bacterial shape.
Streptococcus pyogenes:____________________ Paenibacillus polymyxa:_____________________ Aquaspirillum bengal:______________________
Aquaspirillum bengal is helical in shape with its composition of deoxyribonucleic acid and cytosine. It is Gram negative and chemo-organotrophic. It is also motile with the help of flagella.
Paenibacillus polymyxa is also known as Bacillus polymyxa which is capable of fixing nitrogen. It is found in soil, plant tissues and marine sediments. It has a major role in forest ecosystems and potential future applications as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in agriculture.
