Domain of single-celled organisms

Actually 2 Different species - acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria

purple membrane light harvesting bacteriorhodopsin

Gram negative lithotropic oxidation of ammonia to nitrate ( NH3 -> NO2-)

Gram negative oxidation of NO2- to NO3-

It oxidises iron and inorganic sulfur compounds, producing sulphuric acid - used for leaching iron

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixer in root nodules of leguminous plants

Resistant to UV, radiation and desiccation. Forms Biofilms

Source of Taq DNA Polymerase

Nitrogen fixer in heterocysts. Some produce fatal neurotoxins

Filamentous cyanobacteria that exists as plankton and fixes nitrogen

A major group of bacteria that includes many well known pathogens

Commercial production of vinegar and acetic acid, exists at pH3

Gram-negative magnetotaxis, chains of magnetite particles inside cells. aligns North to South

Anaerobic endospore-forming, rod-shaped order of firmicutes, includes anthrax

Has a crystalline protein toxic to lepidopteran insects

Anthrax of the skin and lung

MRSA

Intracellular pathogen in food, grows in fridge and causes sepsis and meningitus

Order of Firmicutes that includes scarlet fever

Scarlet fever, tonsilitus, toxic shock. Has tissue destroying enzymes

Lactobacillales used in cheese production

Used to make yoghurt

Used to make sourkraut, yoghurt and silage

Heterofermentative, industrially known as dextran

Used to make sour dough

Prolific phylum of bacteria. Gram positive, high GC content

Gram positive, aerobic, high GC content. Produces branching filaments, making it look like mould

Aerobic decomposer of organic compounds. over 500 antibiotic substances produced, 60 of which used in medicine and veterinary science

Causes tuberculosis. gram positive, but resembles gram negative with outer layer replaced with waxy mycolic acid

Causes malignant leprosy, slow growth

Diphtheria. Causes pseudomembrane (lesion) on tonsils and throat. toxin inhibits eukaryotic protein synthesis

Gram negative human pathogens. Obligate parasites, cannot produce ATP

A leading STD, causes urethritus in men, often undiagnosed can cause infertility in women

Inhabit water and mud. tightly coiled, some pathogenic to hmans

Causes Syphilis

Only prokaryote with linear chromosome, causes tick bound lyme diseas

Relapsing fever, caused by body louse

Causes White rot
