Document Summary
Thermales [order]: filamentous, clustered cells or single celled. Cyanobacteria [phyla]: oxygenic photoautotroph with thylakoid membranes where photosynthesis occurs. Firmicutes [phyla]: low gc, gram positive rods or cocci anaerobes. Obligate aerobes that grow in the soil: subtilis: gram positive model system, anthracis: causes anthrax. Listeria: non-spore forming rods: monocytogenes: enteric intracellular pathogen. Hexagonal clusters: aureus: toxic shock and lethal skin infection. Human: botulinum and c. dificile: pathogens throat flora. Mollicutes [class]: lacks a cell wall and s layer. Mycoplasma genitalium: smallest known genome: pneumoniae: causes pneumonia. Actinobacteria [phyla]: high gc, gram positive bacteria with moderate salt tolerance: coelicolor and s. griseus. Mycobacteriaceae [order]: thick cell envelope holds acid fast stain tuberculosis. Mycobacterium: m. tuberculosis causes: leprae causes leprosy. Outer membrane contains lps, diverse metabolism, lineage includes mitochondria. Proteobacteria [phyla]: gram negative, diverse cell forms and metabolism. Rhizobiales [order]: plant mutualists and pathogens, methyl oxidizers, and animal pathogens. Argobacterium: a. tumefaciens causes plant tumors via transgenic plant vector (plasmid)
