Week 5 Flashcards
𝛽-proteobacteria
Neisseria
Non motile aerobe
Cocci
Chemoorganotrophic
Has capsules and pili
Where does Neisseria grow
Mucous membrane of mammals
Burkholderia
Aerobe
Mesophillic rods
How are burkholderia motile
single/cluster flagella
Burkholfrtis cepacia
Degrade more than 100 diff organic compounds
Also plant pathogen and causes hospital infections
Bordetella
aerobe
require organic sulfur and nitrogen compounds for growth
Bordetella pertussis
Non motile with capsule
infects epithelial cells of upper respiratory tracts of humans
Bordetella bronchiseptica
Motile coccobacillus
cause kennel cough in dogs
Nitrosomonadales
Nitrifying bacteria: Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus and Nitrosospira
Order Hydrogenophilales
Thiobacillus
Thiobacillus
chemolithotroph
most prominent colourless sulfur bacteria
not photosynthetic
Uses a variety of reduced, inorganic sulfur compounds for energy and electron sources
Thiobacillus
Thiobacillus denitrificans
Uses H2S and thiosulfate or ferrous iron as electron donors for an ETC-can cause denitrification Nitrate=acceptor
Purple Sulfur bacteria
use reduced sulfur compounds as electron donors for ANOXYGENIC photosyntheis
Order Pseudomonadales
straight or curved rods with polar flagella
chemoheterotroph
Where are pseudomondales found
Plants, human bladder, fridge
What do pseudomondales do
Mineralisation
What causes bladder infections and food decay
Pseudomonadales
Vibrionales
straight/curved rods
motile
Which order uses D-glucose as an energy source
Vibrionales
Vibrio cholera
pathogen-from fecal infected water
Vibrio Fischeri
Biolumination-found in deep sea fish
What could bioluminescence be used for in deep sea fish
light is used for attracting prey or to hide their shadow while swimming in shallow water
Order: Enterobacteriales
facultative anaerobe
rods
Distinguised by absence of oxidase
