Gammaproteobacteria

(noun)

Gammaproteobacteria is a class of several medically, ecologically and scientifically important groups of bacteria, such as the Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli), Vibrionaceae and Pseudomonadaceae. Like all Proteobacteria, the Gammaproteobacteria are Gram-negative.

    • Gammaproteobacteria is a class of several medically, ecologically and scientifically important groups of bacteria.
    • Like all Proteobacteria, the Gammaproteobacteria are Gram-negative.
    • The Gammaproteobacteria comprise several medically and scientifically important groups of bacteria, such as the Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrionaceae and Pseudomonadaceae.
    • This family is the only representative in the order Enterobacteriales of the class Gammaproteobacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria.
    • Some Gammaproteobacteria are methane oxidizers, and many of them are in symbiosis with geothermic ocean vent dwelling animals.

  • Overview of Proteobacteria

    • The alpha, beta, delta, epsilon sections are monophyletic, but the Gammaproteobacteria due to the Acidithiobacillus genus is paraphyletic to Betaproteobacteria, according to multigenome alignment studies, which if done correctly are more precise than 16S (note that Mariprofundus ferrooxydans sole member of the Zetaproteobacteria was previously misclassified on NCBI taxonomy).
    • These classes include: Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Epsilonproteobacteria and Zetaproteobacteria.
    • Domain: Bacteria, Kingdom: Eubacteria, Phylum: Proteobacteria, Class: Gammaproteobacteria, Order: Enterobacteriales, Family: Enterobacteriaceae, Genus: Escherichia, Species: E. coli.

  • Alphaproteobacteria

    • Phylogenetic analyses and conserved indels in large numbers of other proteins provide evidence that Alphaproteobacteria have branched off later than most other phyla and Classes of Bacteria with the exception of Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria.
