7.1 An overview of metabolism Metabolism may be divided into two major parts: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism: larger and more Waste products complex molecules are broken Nutrients Biosynthesis down into smaller, simpler Energy molecules with the release of for growth energy
Related concepts Aspecies: a collection of strains that have a similar G+C composotion and 70% or greater similarity as judged by DNA hybridization experiments. biovars: variant procaryotic strains characterized by biochemical or physiological differences. Morphovars: differ morphologically Serovars: have distinctive antigenic properties
