Rickettsia
With one exception, they are all obligatory
intracellular parasites and were not able to be cultured without host cells.
Typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Q fever
Wolbachia
Intracellular parasite in many insect families
Phylogenetically very close to Rickettsia
Proteobacteria with Unusual Morphology
Spirilla genus
For example, Spirillum, Magnetospirillum, Bdellovibrio
Coiled curved bacilli
Magnetotaxic properties
Bdellovibrio
They are predatory on gram negative bacteria
Proteobacteria with Sheath
Sphaerotilus and Leptothrix
Sheathed bacteria are filamentous bacteria that form their own life cycle, formed by clustering flagellated cells in clusters.
Sheathed bacteria are common in habitats such as wastewater and contaminated streams. It is also
abundant in drip filters and activated sludge tanks of wastewater treatment plants.
Bacterium and Prosthetic / Stem Bacteria
Hyphomicrobium, Caulobacter
The stem contains organisms that form various cytoplasmic extension in the form of hif
Budding Bacteria: Hyphomicrobium
Caulobacter Differentiation
A mobile cell that does not divide
A second cell with an immobile stem that can proliferate
Three regulatory proteins (GcrA, CtrA and DnaA) are responsible for this differentiation.
First, CtrA is activated by phosphating with external signals.
This activates the genes necessary for flagella synthesis and motile cell formation.
