proteobacteria Flashcards
what gram stain are all proteobacteria
gram negative
some key features of proteobacteria
lipopolysacharides in membrane motile two membranes diverse in metabolism and oxygen requirements pleiomorphic
what are thy key groups of proteobacteria
alpha beta gamma delta epsilon
where are alphaproteobacteria typically found
free living in environment
what genera are most betaproteobatceria
chemolithotrophs
examples of beta
nitrosomanas
thiobacillus
neisseria
bordetella
what does nirosomanas do
oxidises reduced sulphur compounds to sulphate
example of gammaporteobatceria
purple sulphur abcteria
what pathway do gamma use
facultative anaerobies
Emben-meyerhoff pathway and pentose phosphate pathway to catabolise carbohydrates
descrbe pseumomanacae and moraxellacaea
enter-douderoff pathway
organic counpunds uses
freeliving
large genomes
define detlaproteobacteria
small group but stil diverse
sulphur and sulphate reducing bactreia
examples of two types in the detal group
bdellovibrous: invasde other bacteria and multiply
myxobacteria: enzymes and antiobitics to kill bacteria
key features of campylobcter
gastroentertus slim slender cruved rods carried by chickens microareophilic motile flagella
key features pf helocobacter
pylori gives rise to peptic ulcers
lives in acid mucosa
use amino acids
