Category: Bacteria

Bacteria are unicellular organisms (microorganisms - rod, coccoid, spiral shapes) that proliferate in every habitat on Earth. Bacteria are prokaryotes. Unlike cells of animals and other eukaryotes, bacterial cells do not have a nucleus or rarely contain membrane-bound organelles. While most are benign or beneficial some cause disease. Archaea is a group of primitive prokarytoes that often are extremophilic microorganisms.
• Archaea - magnetotatic (Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum), halophile (Halobacterium).
• Extremophile - filamentous iron oxidizing bacterium (Leptothrix), purple nonsulfur bacterium (Rhodospirillum rubrum), Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas putida, Deinococcus, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Pseudomonas syringae, Methylococcus capsulatus, Kocuria rosea, Vibrio vulnificus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactococcus lactis, Methylobacterium rhodesianum, Halobacterium.
