Alteromonadales
The Alteromonadales are an order of Pseudomonadota. Although they have been treated as a single family, the Alteromonadaceae, they were divided into eight by Ivanova ''et al.'' in 2004. The cells are straight or curved rods. They are motile by the use of a single flagellum A flagellum (; ) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Many protists with flagella are termed as flagellates. A microorganism may have f .... Most of the species are marine. References * George M.

Algicola
''Algicola'' is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). Etymology The name ''Algicola'' derives from Latin ''alga'', a seaweed, and ''cola'' or ''incola'', an inhabitant or dweller; ''Algicola'', then, means inhabitant of algae. Species The genus contains two species: * '' A. bacteriolytica'' Sawabe ''et al''. 1998. Ivanova ''et al''. 2004 (type species of the genus); ''bacterium'', rod or staff and ''lytica'' (from Greek ''lutikē'', able to loosen, able to dissolve, to give ''bacteriolytica'', bacteria-dissolving * '' A. sagamiensis'' Kobayashi ''et al''. 2003, Nam ''et al''. 2007, ''sagamiensis'', referring to Sagami Bay, the place of isolation See also * Bacterial taxonomy * Microbiology Microbiology () is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells).

Gammaproteobacteria
Gammaproteobacteria is a class of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). It contains about 250 genera, which makes it the most genera-rich taxon of the Prokaryotes. Several medically, ecologically, and scientifically important groups of bacteria belong to this class. It is composed by all Gram-negative microbes and is the most phylogenetically and physiologically diverse class of Proteobacteria. These microorganisms can live in several terrestrial and marine environments, in which they play various important roles, including ''extreme environments'' such as hydrothermal vents. They generally have different shapes - rods, curved rods, cocci, spirilla, and filaments and include free living bacteria, biofilm formers, commensals and symbionts, some also have the distinctive trait of being bioluminescent. Metabolisms found in the different genera are very different; there are both aerobic and anaerobic (obligate or facultative) species, chemolithoautotroph ...

Pseudoalteromonas
''Pseudoalteromonas'' is a genus of marine bacteria. In 1995, Gauthier ''et al'' proposed ''Pseudoalteromonas'' as a new genus to be split from '' Alteromonas''. The ''Pseudoalteromonas'' species that were described before 1995 were originally part of the genus ''Alteromonas'', and were reassigned to ''Pseudoalteromonas'' based on their rRNA-DNA analysis. Species *''Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans'' (Romanenko ''et al.'' 2003) *'' Pseudoalteromonas aliena'' (Ivanova ''et al.'' 2004) *'' Pseudoalteromonas antarctica'' (Bozal ''et al.'' 1997) *'' Pseudoalteromonas arctica'' (Khudary ''et al.'' 2008) *''Pseudoalteromonas atlantica'' (Akagawa-Matsushita ''et al.'' 1992) *'' Pseudoalteromonas aurantia'' (Gauthier and Breittmayer 1979) *'' Pseudoalteromonas bacteriolytica'' (Sawabe ''et al.'' 1998) *''Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis'' (Park ''et al.'' 2005) *''Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora'' (Akagawa-Matsushita ''et al.'' 1992) *'' Pseudoalteromonas citrea'' (Gauthier 1977) *''Pseudoa ...

Bacteria
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudomonadota
Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria) is a major phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The renaming of phyla in 2021 remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier names of long standing in the literature. The phylum Proteobacteria includes a wide variety of pathogenic genera, such as '' Escherichia'', '' Salmonella'', '' Vibrio'', '' Yersinia'', '' Legionella'', and many others.Slonczewski JL, Foster JW, Foster E. Microbiology: An Evolving Science 5th Ed. WW Norton & Company; 2020. Others are free-living (non parasitic) and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation. Carl Woese established this grouping in 1987, calling it informally the "purple bacteria and their relatives". Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, it was later informally named Proteobacteria, after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea capable of assuming many different shapes (not after the Proteobacteria genus ''Proteus''). In 2021 the In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Encyclopedia Of Life
The ''Encyclopedia of Life'' (''EOL'') is a free, online encyclopedia intended to document all of the 1.9 million living species known to science. It is compiled from existing trusted databases curated by experts and with the assistance of non-experts throughout the world. It aims to build one "infinitely expandable" page for each species, including video, sound, images, graphics, as well as text. In addition, the Encyclopedia incorporates content from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which digitizes millions of pages of printed literature from the world's major natural history libraries. The project was initially backed by a US$50 million funding commitment, led by the MacArthur Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, who provided US$20 million and US$5 million, respectively. The additional US$25 million came from five cornerstone institutions—the Field Museum, Harvard University, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the Smithsonian Ins ...
