Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Actinomycetes are commonly found in soil and are important decomposers. They form branched chains of cells that superficially resemble a fungus. Yeasts are single-celled organisms and do not form colonies of branched chains of cells. Halobacteria are salt-loving organisms that are typically found in extremely saline environments, such as salt lakes or salt pans. Cocci are spherical bacteria that do not form chains or resemble fungi.
