MORPHOLOGY OF MICROORGANISMS.
Keywords:
Microorganisms, morphology, prokaryotes, bacteria, archaea, cell devoir, flagellum, fimbriae, systematic classification, gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, ribosomal RNA.Abstract
This article provides general information on the morphology (external structure) of microorganisms and the systematics of prokaryotes. The article presents the main morphological features of microorganisms, such as the structure of the cell wall, organelles and cell membrane. The systematics of prokaryotes, namely bacteria and archaea, is also analyzed. The differences between bacteria and archaea, their ecological conditions and how genetic features are distinguished in systematics are considered. The article reveals the importance of modern classification methods in microbiology and genetics.
