ch.4 proteobacteria
alpha, etc.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| alpha characteristics | obligate, ogliotroph, cannot make atp, has to have host cell |
| obligate | needs oxygen |
| oligotrophs | can survive with little nutrients |
| exmaples of alpha | chlamydia (lymphogranulama), rocky mountain spotted fever(rickettsia) |
| examples of beta | Neisseria (gonorrhea and meningitids); bordetella (whopping cough) |

| Delta | sulfate reducing bacteria |
| delta: desulfovibrio oral periodontal disease | removes waste |
| delta: bdellovibrio | parasitic w/bacteria |
| delta: myxobacteria | slim modle, soil sliding |
| epsilon | microaerophillic |
| epsilon: campylobacter | food poisoning, often from chickens |
| epsilon: heliobacter aerobic | damage stomach, ulcers, cancer of stomach |
