Alphaproteobacteria

Examples of Alphaproteobacteria in the following topics:

• Alphaproteobacteria

  • Alphaproteobacteria is a class of Proteobacteria; like all Proteobacteria, they are Gram-negative.
  • Alphaproteobacteria is a class of Proteobacteria.
  • Because of their symbiotic properties, scientists often use Alphaproteobacteria of the genus Agrobacterium to transfer foreign DNA into plant genomes, and they also have many other biotechnological properties.
  • Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria are alphaproteobacteria, widely distributed marine plankton that may constitute over 10% of the open ocean microbial community.
  • The Class Alphaproteobacteria comprises ten orders (viz.

• Overview of Proteobacteria

  • The divisions of the proteobacteria were once regarded as subclasses (e.g. α-subclass of the Proteobacteria), but are now regarded as classes (e.g. the Alphaproteobacteria).
  • These classes include: Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Epsilonproteobacteria and Zetaproteobacteria.

• Oligotrophs

  • The proteins of the Caulobacter cell cycle control system and its internal organization are co-conserved across many alphaproteobacteria species, but there are great differences in the regulatory apparatus' functionality and peripheral connectivity to other cellular subsystems from species to species.
