Cell | Cell structure of Globicatella sanguinis (G. sanguinis) is a gram-positive bacteria. G. sanguinis metabolizes through peptide catabolic energy, active glycolytic, and heterolactic fermentation. G. sanguinis grow anaerobically and are also alpha-hemolytic, meaning that they have the ability to break down red blood cells. G. sanguinis is catalase negative. | ||

Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Cell structure of Globicatella sanguinis (G. sanguinis) is a gram-positive bacteria. G. sanguinis metabolizes through peptide catabolic energy, active glycolytic, and heterolactic fermentation. G. sanguinis grow anaerobically and are also alpha-hemolytic, meaning that they have the ability to break down red blood cells. G. sanguinis is catalase negative.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
Symptoms of infection:
-meningeoencephalitis
