alpha proteobacteria: many species are closely associated with
eukaryotic hosts
scientist hypothesize that mitochondria evolved from —— through ——
aerobic alpha proteobacteria
endosymbiosis
endosymbosis
2 organisms living together with one inside the other
endosymbiosis: ex:
agrobacteruim
which produces tumor in plants and is used in genetic engineering
beta photo bacteria : ex:
the soil bacterium NITROSOMONAS which converts NH4+(ammonium) to NO2- ( nitrogen dioxide)
NITROSOMONAS
which converts NH4+(ammonium) to NO2- ( nitrogen dioxide) making the nitrogen less toxic and more usable for plants and other organisms
gamma proteobacteria: divide into 2 ex:
1.sulfur bacteria such as THIOMARGARITA NAMBIENSIS 2. pathogens such as LEGIONELLA, SALMONELLA,and VIBRIO CHOLERAE
gamma proteobacteria: ecoli resides in ? is it pathogemic?
the intestines of many mammals and is not normally pathogenic
delta proteobacteria: slime secreting myxobacteria produce
resistant myxospores
delta proteobacteria: why do slime secreting myxobacteria produce resistant myxospores?
as a survival strategy to endure periods of nutrient starvation and other harsh environmental conditions
delta proteobacteria: ex:
bdellovibrios
delta proteobacteria: bdellovibrios-
which mount high speed attacks on other bacteria
epsilon proteobacteria: this group contains
many pathogens including campylobacter and helicobacter pylori
epsilon proteobacteria: campylobacter
which causes blood poising
epsilon proteobacteria: helicobacter pylori:
which causes stomach ulcers
chlamydias: these bacteria are?
parasites that live within animal cells(parrots-chlamydia psittaci)
CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS causes what by sexual transmission?
blindness and nongonococcal urethritis
gonococcal urethritis
is when infection is caused by gonorrhea
non-gonococcal urethritis(NGU) or non specific urethritis
is when the infection is caused by something other than gonorrhea, such as CHLAMYDIA
spirochetes
these bacteria are helical heterotrophs
helical heterotrophs
an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients
spirochetes: some are parasites including:
treponema pallidum and borrelia burgdorfei
treponema pallidum
causes syphilis, an example of a Spirochete
