Name the 5 classes under Phylum Proteobacteria
|
Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaprotebacteria, and Epsilonproteobacteria.
|
|
Describe the characteristics of the class Alphaproteobacteria.
|
Group includes microbes capable of growing at low levels of nutrients; Some have prosthecae, which are stalks or buds; agriculturally important due to the capability of bacteria to nitrogen fix plants; several include plant and human pathogens.
|

|
|
Give an example and characteristic of a genus under order Enterbacteriales.
|
Enterbacter, opportunistic pathogen.

|
Describe the characteristic of the class Betaproteobacteria
|
Nitrogen fixing bacteria; use nutrients to escape anaerobic decompostion like hydrogen gas, methane, and ammonia; pathogenic; found in soil.
