Bacteria Taxonomy

Gram negative; outer membrane composed mainly of lipopolysaccharides; all oligotrophs

Gram negative; anaerobic, rod-shaped opportunistic; 2 main families

Gram negative; photosynthetic, thicker than normal peptidoglycan wall (10-700nm); single, multicellular, and colonial cells; pilli/fimbrae

Gram negative; double membrane with axial filaments in between for movement; facultative anaerobes

Gram positive; pathogens able to invade; split into high and low G+C content groups

Pathogenicity

Spirochetes: it causes Lymes Disease, spiral in shape

Fusobacteria: It occurs in healthy younger populations causing peritansillar abscesses

Proteobacteria: rod-shaped, motile, facultative anaerobe, food-born pathogen

Firmicutes: has non-replication phases, modifies by metabolic remodeling, reproduces inside epithelial cells

Cyanobacteria: blue-green algae, anti-inflammatory, can prevent several bodily issues such as cancer, anemia, and obesity.
