Bacteria can obtain their nutrition by:?

E.\nBecause bacteria can obtain nutrition chemically, they can live in conditions that no-one thought possible, for example in volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean.

Most of the bacteria that can be cultured represent only a tiny fraction of what's out there. Bacteria exist in practically every niche observable but in general, the best way to cultivate bacteria is to simulate their natural environment. That's why many infectious bacteria are grown on agar (a sugar similar to the ones found in our body) and incubated at 37 degrees celsius (the temperature of the human body)

It is called agar.  It is important to know that the bacteria don't actually "eat" the agar substance itself.  Agar is chosen actually because so few bacteria can use it (itself) as a food source.  If the bacteria were able to digest the agar, there would soon be nothing for them to grow on!  It is used mainly as a support for the added ingredients.  The ingredients mixed in the agar are what the bacteria actually live off of.  Different bacteria grow better with different ingredients in their agar.  There are many kinds of agar due to the many kinds of ingredients possible.

If you look at it from a aquarium, which is probably the simplist explanation.\n\nFish eat their food, whatever it may be, and produce waste. That waste decomposes into ammonia. Bacteria grow and consume the ammonia and produce Nitrites (NO2). This Nitrite is then consumed by a different bacteria which produces Nitrates (NO3). Nitrates are pretty much fertalizers for plants, and any plants you have in the aquarium will consume this for the purpose of photosynthesis. Then cycle then starts over with the fish or animals in the aquarium eating that. Other nutrients are involved of course, but that is the basis of the nitrogen cycle.

A happy environment and the proper nutrients.\n\nMicrobes like all life, need the basics.\n\nShelter, in this case a substarte or media to grow. This could be agar in a test tube, or an infected cut on your hand. They need energy. This could be from the sun in the case of an algae or from nutrients found in a medium like blood.\n\nIf they have the basics, bacteria will grow and grow. Thisis why an infection can get out of control. The human body makes a great incubatr for bacteria and if unchecked they will take advantage of it.\n\nEach species is different in the specific needs. Some will like salt water, other will need more electrolytes, others need more protein, so it does matter what species of bacteria you are culturing. In a lab, this is usually done in an agar or medium. This is either a liquid or gel that is packed with certain nutrients and innoculated with the bacteria and incubated for growth.

The sun provides energy to living organisms of the Earth.  There are autrophs and heterotrophs.  Autotrophs (like plants) use sunlight to turn CO2 and Water, which cannot be further oxidized as fuel into GLucose, which can be burned by a cell as a source of fuel.  Low rung food chain heterotrophs eat autotrophs (these are herbivores) and get their calories (food is a source of chemical potential energy) from the glucose (and some other chemicals) made by autotrophs.  \n\nHigher level heterotrophs eat the lower level heterotrophs, getting their calories from proteins and fats of the herbivores they are eating.  The calories contained in the proteins and fats of the herbivores is derived from the calories of the autotrophs.  In essence, the calories from food on this planet are derived from energy from sunlight that plants have converted to chemical form.

Agar media is nutrified by adding small amounts of sugars, proteins, and minerals to it.  \n\nRemember bacteria are able to live on very little, and if the agar is not highly purified, there may be nutrients present as contaminants that you're not aware of.  Agar is a natural product, and so may easily be contaminated by things other than the pure polysaccharide.

Bacteria are one celled organisms. They come in 3 shapes. Rods, spheres and spirals. Some have means of transportation like flagella and cilia. Bacteria can be helpful such as in cheese making or pathogens causing disease. others are helpful in decomposing or in helping plants in the nitrogen cycle.

Water and "nutrients" depending on the specific type of cell. Plant cells need inorganic nitrogen compounds (ammonia, nitrate), phosphate, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper,...\nAnimal cells need organic substances like sugars or amino acids (which plant cells can produce on their own) additionally to vitamins and ions (iron, copper, cobalt, zinc, molybdenum, iodine, selenium,...)

yes if the bacteria in the solution can break down and use that type of sugar. having more food means they will reproduce faster and will ferment more. although this can be dependant on if o2 is present or not. but in general as your question is stated...yes.

Bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning 'without nucleus'. The basic bacteria has a cell membrane, which holds in its cytoplasam and genetic material. The bacteria holds lots of ribosomes for creating proteins, which are ever so important in a living organism. Bacteria do not have a cell wall, this is plant cells (eukaryotic) only. Some bacteria have tiny hairs covering the body called silia aiding in movement. Other have a single hair, or maybe two, this is called a flagellum. I typed this fast so spelling may be off, but the information is correct.\n\nthefeistyguy
