Taxonomy of Bacteria: Identification and Classification

We've been looking at bacteria for a few centuries now, so how do we categorize them? We love to classify things and put them in groups, so how does that work for bacteria? Well let's learn about Gram-staining, antigens, other phenotypic and genotypic properties, and we will be well on our way to understanding this process!

Professor dave can you explain me about hemolytic properties?
As a person that doesn't speak english as my first language, can you kindly explain me what it means?

[@zbs8334]

I don't know if you ever figured that out but it's a test to see whether the bacteria can lyse (kill) red blood cells. It can either completely kill them which would cause the blood plate to be clear (Beta), partially kill them and be green on the plate (alpha) or not kill them at all (gamma). Hope that helps
