EUBACTERIA
A. CHARACTERISTIC OF EUBACTERIA
F. CLASSIFICATION EUBACTERIA
1. Proteobacteria
Largest and most diverse bacterial group
Subdivided into enteric bacteria, chemoautotrophic
bacteria, and nitrogen fixing bacteria
Ex: Rhizobium
2. Cyanobacteria
Carry on photosynthesis and make oxygen
Called blue-green bacteria
Contain pigment called phycocyanin (red and blue),
and chlorophyll (green) may be red, yellow, brown
Some grow in chains and have specialized cells
called heterocyst that fix nitrogen
Anabaena that live on nitrates and phosphates in
water can overpopulate and cause eutrophication
Ex: Anabaena, Oscillatoria rubescens
3. Spirochetes
Have flagella at each end so move in a corkscrew
motion
Some are aerobic (require oxygen) others are
anaerobic
May be free-living, parasitic, or live symbiotically
with another organism
Ex: Treponema pallidum
4. Gram positive bacteria
Most are gram positive, but some are gram
negative
Largest and most diverse bacterial group
Subdivided into enteric bacteria, chemoautotrophic
bacteria, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
ARCHAEBACTE
RIA
CHARACTERISTIC
Found in harst environment (undersea, volcanic
vents, acidic hot springs, salty water)
Cell wall without peptidoglycan
Plasma membrane contain lipid with eter bound
Ribosome contain some RNA polymerase
Subdivided into 3 groups based on their habitat
1. Methanogen
Live in anaerobic environmenets (no oxygen)
Obtain energy by changing Hidrogen and
Ex: Methanobacterium
2. Extreme Halophilles
Live in salty water
Found in the dead sea, great salt lake
Ex: Halobacterium
3. Thermoacidophiles (thermophiles)
