physiology and
structure of bacteria

 morphology Bacteria

morphology means 'knowledge of form' (morphos). Morphology in the branch of biology is the
science of the forms of organisms, especially animals and plants and includes their parts.
Bacterial morphology can be divided into two, namely: 1.
Macroscopic Morphology 2. Microscopic Morphology

1.Macroscopic Morphology
Through this growth, different types of bacteria will sometimes produce
colonies that are distinctive in appearance. Some colonies may be colored,
some are circular, while others are irregular. Colony characteristics (shape,
size, color, etc.) are termed "colony morphology". Colony morphology is how
scientists can identify bacteria. Colony morphology can be other than
irregular. Colony characteristics (shape, size, color, etc.). termed "colony
morphology".

2.Microscopic Morphology
Microscopic morphology is the characteristic of bacteria seen through
observation under a microscope. The shape of bacteria varies greatly, but in
general there are 3 types, namely:
• Stem / basil shape
• Round shape / coccus
• Shape of the spiral / spirillium.
Variation of bacteria or bacterial colonies is influenced by the direction of
division, age, and certain growth conditions, for example food, temperature,
and conditions that are unfavorable for bacteria.

 Physiology bacteria
is one of the branches of biology that studies the ongoing living
systems. Bacteria need materials or ways to survive, including:
water, organic salts, minerals, CO2, O2, temperature, and pH.

 bacterial structure

Bacterial body parts can generally be divided into 3 parts,

namely the cell wall, protoplasm (in which there is a cell
membrane, mesosomes, lysosomes, DNA, endospores),
and parts that are outside the cell wall such as capsules,
flagella, pilus. Among these parts there are those that are
always found in bacterial cells, namely the cell membrane,
ribosomes and DNA.
These parts are referred to as invariants. While the parts
that are not always present in every bacterial cell, for
example the cell wall, flagellum, pilus, and capsule. These
parts are called variants.
