Pictures are imbedded and labeled.
1. Shape and arrangement
your pathogen
Diplobacilli or at times Streptobacilli. It can also be singular.
1. Type of flagella, number and correctly named arrangement of the flagella (example: monotrichous)
Atrichous
1. Capsule or not (If yes, describe what is it made from)
Yes, it is/has a capsule. It is made of polysaccharides.
1. Gram staining status OR acid-fast stain cell wall description. Explain why your pathogen has this status by
describing your pathogen's cell wall structure.
Clostridium perfringens has a gram staining wall description because it has a thick peptidoglycan layer that contains
teichoic acids.
1. Can it form endospores? If yes, explain when they form endospores.
Clostridium perfringens can form endospores. This usually happens when the environment is unfavorable to the
microorganism. The production of endospores typically happens when there are changes in the metabolic pathway, ie
presence of oxygen, and a lack of nutrients.
1. Where is your pathogen usually found? (Ex. soil, water, zoonosis, airborne or maybe it only has a human host)
My pathogen is found in open wounds and causes the flesh to rot. A second strand of the bacteria is found in food
and can affect people if the food is not cooked thoroughly.
