Prokaryotic Diversity (Microbiology)

Recall cards on prokaryotic diversity. Prokaryote habitats, relationships, and microbiomes: extreme habitats, nitrogen fixation and Rhizobium, the symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, amensalism, parasitism, neutralism), resident and transient microbiota, and the Human Microbiome Project. Proteobacteria: Woese's 1987 phylum and its five classes, Rickettsia, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Legionella, Neisseria, Bordetella, Bdellovibrio, myxobacteria, Campylobacter, and Helicobacter. Nonproteobacteria gram-negatives and phototrophs: spirochetes (Treponema, Borrelia), the CFB group and Bacteroides, Planctomycetes, and oxygenic versus anoxygenic photosynthesis in purple and green sulfur bacteria and cyanobacteria. Gram-positive bacteria: high versus low G+C, Mycobacterium, Corynebacterium, Streptomyces, Clostridium, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and Mycoplasma. Deeply branching bacteria near the last universal common ancestor: Acetothermus, Aquifex, Thermotoga, and Deinococcus. And the domain Archaea: ether-linked membranes, no peptidoglycan, methanogenesis, the five phyla, and extremophiles from Sulfolobus to Halobacteria.
