| Extremophiles | Require extreme conditions of temperature, pH, and or salinity to survive. |
| Actinomycetes | Produces antibiotics |
| Cyanobacteria | Vary greatly in shape, size and method of reproduction |
| Mycobacterium | Tuberculosis, Meringitis, "Acid-Fast" |
| Corynebacterium | Diplitheria |
| Nitrogen Fixer | Roots of plants where they make N2 available to plants as NH3 |
| Rhizobium | Roots of leguminous plants such as peas, beeans, and clovers. Make ammonia available to the plant encouraging growth. Ex. Burning Fuel |

| Mycoplasmas | Pneumonia Urinary tract infections |
| Clostridium | Tetanus Botulism Gangrene Severe Diarrhea |
| Staphyloccus | Bacteremia, food poisoning, and others Inhabit Skin |
| Purple Sulfur Bacteria | Deposit sulfur within their cells |
| Green Sulfur Bacteria | Deposits the resultant sulfur outside their cells |

| Geogemma | Current record holder for surviving high temperature. Can survive 2 hours at 130 degrees. |
| Thermophiles | Do not function properly at temperatures lower than 45 C |
| Nitrifying Bacteria | Those that derive electrons from the oxidation of nitrogenous compounds |
| Archaea | Lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Not known to cause disesase |
