Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison and contrast between Chloroflexi and Cyanobacteria based on various parameters.
Introduction:
All bacteria share some common characters such as their central apparatus for gene expression and all have some type of RNA polymerases and translational factors. The cell wall of all the bacterial cells is made up of peptidoglycan but its variant forms distinguish different bacterial species. Bacterial phyla and major divisions are defined based on the historical conventions and consensus of the research community.
