prosthecate, budding bacteria
frequently attach to solid objects in aquatic and terrestrial environments
may be 25% of total bacterial population in oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) freshwater habitats
Increased surface area allows better absorption of nutrients |

Term

Definition
Posses stalks
used to attach to solid substrata with what is known as the strongest biological adhesion molecule
Uses stalks to adhere to various surfaces, often adhere to other microorganisms to absorb nutrients released from hosts
long prosthecae also improve nutrient uptake by increasing surface area
Extremely adapted in low nutrient (oligotrophic environments)
Reproduces by budding (Budding stalked bacteria) |
