Largest and most metabolically diverse

Purple Sulfur Bacteria Use Hydrogen sulfide α, β, γ subdivisions

Purple Nonsulfur Bacteria Photoheterotrophy Aerobic respiration

Nitrifying bacteria Chemolithotrophs Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter

Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria Thiobacillus, Beggiatoa Sulfuric acid produced

Methanotrophs Anaerobic Archaea –not bacteria

Aerobic Chemoorganotrophs Pseudomonas and pseudomonads

Pseudomonads Common genera: Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Burkholderia, Gluconobacter Metabolically diverse -100 substrates Plant and human pathogens Fluorescent - burn patients Burkholderia - ganders Xanthomonas – soft root vegetables Zymomonas Ferments Alcohol production in the tropic

Acetic Acid Bacteria Acetobacter, Gluconobacter Alcohol → Acetic acid and Cellulose?

Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria Azotobacter, Beijerinckia Nitrogenase is oxygen sensitive Cysts, capsule, and poly-β-hydroxybuytrate

Neisseria and Relatives Neisseria, Acinetobacter, Chromobacterium, Moraxella Some human pathogens Most oxidase positive

Enteric Bacteria Escherichia, Salmonella, Proteus, Enterobacter Facultative anaerobes, peritrichous flagella, Gut flora, human pathogens

Escherichia Universal inhabitant of warm blooded animals Vitamin synthesis Rarely pathogenic Salmonella and Shigella Usually pathogenic Salmonella found in some cold blood animals

Proteus swarming Butandiol fermenters Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Serratia

Vibrio and Photobacterium Oxidase positive Polar flagella Fermentative Aquatic Bioluminescent
