Write in brief on actinomycetes
Answers
Answer:
Actinomyces is a genus of the Actinobacteria class of bacteria. They all are gram-positive. Actinomyces species are facultatively anaerobic (except A. meyeri and A. israelii both obligate anaerobe), and they grow best under anaerobic conditions.[1] Actinomyces species may form endospores, and, while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, Actinomyces colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae.[2] The aspect of these colonies initially led to the incorrect assumption that the organism was a fungus and to the name Actinomyces, "ray fungus" (from Greek actis, ray, beam and mykes, fungus).
Answer:
Actinomycetes are small finely branched filamentous forms. (b) They resemble the mycelium of fungi. Actinomycetes reproduce through conidia or Conidiosphores.
