Name the 5 classes under Phylum Proteobacteria
Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaprotebacteria, and Epsilonproteobacteria.
Describe the characteristics of the class Alphaproteobacteria.
Group includes microbes capable of growing at low levels of nutrients; Some have prosthecae, which are stalks or buds; agriculturally important due to the capability of bacteria to nitrogen fix plants; several include plant and human pathogens.
What are the 4 orders under Alphproteobacteria?
Caulobacterales, Rickettsiales, Rhizobiales, Rhodospirillales
Give an example of a genus under order Caulobacterales
Caulobacter
What characterizes the Caulobacter?
Stalked morphology
Give an example of a genus under order Rickettsiales
Erlichia, Richettsai, Wolbachia.
What characterizes the Ehrlichia and Rickettsia
They're obligately intracellular human pathogens
What is a characteristic of the genus Wolbachia?
Only live inside cells of hosts, usually insects.
Give an example of a genus under order Rhizobiales
Agrobacterium, Bartonella, Biejerinckia, Bradyrhiziobium, Brucella, Hyphomicrobium, Nitrobacter, Rhizobium
What 5 orders fall under Class Betaproteobacteria?
Burkholderiales, Hydrogenophilales, Neisseriales, Nitrosomonadales, and Rhodocyclaes.
What 7orders fall under class Gammaproteobacteria
Chromatiales, Thiotrichales, Legionellales, Pseudomonadales, Vibrionales, Pasteurellales, and Enterobacteriales.
Give an example and characteristic of a genus under order Legionellales.
Genus Legionella, Human pathogen.
Give an example and characteristic of a genus under order Pseudomonadales
Pseudomonas, opportunistic pathogens
Give an example and characteristic of a genus under order Enterbacteriales.
Enterbacter, opportunistic pathogen.
Describe the characteristic of the class Betaproteobacteria
Nitrogen fixing bacteria; use nutrients to escape anaerobic decompostion like hydrogen gas, methane, and ammonia; pathogenic; found in soil.
