Study Notes
Proteobacteria
- Gamma proteobacteria: most diverse, includes aerobic and anaerobic organisms, and human pathogens
- Delta proteobacteria: mostly aerobic and gram-negative, important for sulfur cycle
- Epsilon group: gram-negative, curved or spiral rods
- Alpha proteobacteria: includes Chlamydia (obligatory intracellular bacteria, causes chlamydia, trachoma, and pneumonia) and Rhizobium (nitrogen-fixing organism)
Nitrogen-Fixing Organisms
- Rhizobium: forms symbiotic relationships with legumes (clover, alfalfa, beans) in soil
Pathogenic Bacteria
- Rickettsia: obligate intracellular parasite, transmitted by ticks, causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Typhus
- Bordetella: aerobic, fastidious
- Neisseria: requires moisture, high CO2 concentrations, causes meningitis and gonorrhea
Purple Sulfur Bacteria
- Obligate anaerobes, oxidize hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur granules, found in hot springs and stagnant water
Scientific Nomenclature
- Binomial nomenclature: every organism given two names (genus and species) used by scientists worldwide
- Suffixes: -ales for orders, -aceae for families
- Examples: italic or underlined, with abbreviations possible
Classifying and Identifying Organisms
- Bergy's manual of Determinative Bacteriology (1923) was the gold standard for lab ID of organisms
- Classification methods: biochemical tests, carbon source, enzymes produced, Gram stain results
- 2nd edition of Bergy's manual of Systems of Archaea and Bacteria (based on rRNA sequences)
Phylogenetic Tree
- Proteobacteria phylum: 5 groups (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon) based on nucleotide sequences and rRNA
- Alpha proteobacteria: oligotrophs, found in deep oceans, deep soil, and glacier ice, produce nitrogen for other life forms
- Beta proteobacteria: eutrophs, found in nutrient-rich environments
