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.
