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.
