Question

Which group of bacteria show mycelial growth habit?

Answer 1

Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. The mass of hyphae is sometimes called shiro, especially within the fairy ring fungi. Fungal colonies composed of mycelium are found in and on soil and many other substrates. A typical single spore germinates into a homokaryotic mycelium, which cannot reproduce sexually; when two compatible homokaryotic mycelia join and form a dikaryotic mycelium, that mycelium may form fruiting bodies such as mushrooms

Answer 2

Answer:

The streptomyces show mycelial growth habit.

Explanation:

• Streptomyces grow into completely mycelial organisms and procreate by producing immotile spores at the terminals of their aerial hyphae.
• Streptomyces are not picky eaters in terms of nutrition.
• In most cases, they don't need certain growth factors.
• The majority of isolates produce extracellular hydrolytic enzymes that enable the metabolism of proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides.
• The majority of the genus' species are saprophytes that are typically found in soil and are aerobic, psychrophilic, or mesophilic. Streptomyces such as S. megasporous and S. graminofaciens are thermophilic.
• Some of them parasitize both plants and animals.
• Streptomyces develop thin, branching hypha that range in diameter from 0.5 to 2.0 m and can have or lack cross walls.
• They develop a primary or substrate mycelium that is heavily branched as well as an aerial or secondary mycelium that is more or less plentiful. #SP J3
