Microbial Diversity (Bacteria (Cyanobacteria (Classification (image), Gram…

- - - - filamentous
      - thermophilic
      - metabolism
    - - non-photosynthetic
      - aerobic chemoorganotrophs with respiratory metabolism
      - isolated from fresh water and soil habitats
      - filamentous
  - - - Chemoheterotrophs and Chemolithotrophs
      - metabolic diversity
    - - Largest subgroup of proteobacteria
      - physiological types
      - Many deeply branching groups
    - - Chemoheterotrophic Anaerobes and Predators
      - aerobic, chemoorganotrophic predators
      - anaerobic, chemoorganotrophic sulfur- and sulfate-reducers
    - - Smallest of proteobacterial classes
      - Slender Gram-negative rods
      - Ranges from Pathogens to Deep-Sea Bacteria
      - Found in filamentous microbial mats in anoxic, sulfide-rich cave springs
    - - Aerobic
- - - - obligate mutuals of wood-eating insects
      - release cellulose for digesting
      - ecdysone hormone produced by host triggers sexual reproduction
    - - do not required oxygen
      - possess hydrogenosomes
      - asexual reproduction only
      - some strains are human pathogens
  - - - Amoeboid motility - use of pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding
      - Naked amoebae are surrounded only by a plasma membrane
      - Testate amoebae
      - Reproduce by binary or multiple fission
    - - distinguished by fine pseudopodia (filopodia)
      - axopodia
      - Stramenopila
        
        diatoms
        
        golden and brown algae
        
        öomycetes and labyrinthulids
        
        Unifying feature is heterokont flagella
    - - Apicomplexa
        
        Distinguished by the unipolar apical complex
        
        Parasitic with complex life cycles
        
        Most important member is Plasmodium, the cause of malaria
      - Dinoflagellata
        
        Large group found in marine plankton
        
        Nutritionally complex
        
        Trichocysts are defensive proteins
        
        Symbiotic forms (zooxanthellae)
      - Ciliophora
        
        Chemoorganotrophic
        
        Found in both benthic and planktonic communities in water and soil systems
        
        Use many cilia as locomotory and feeding organelles
        
        Reproduction
    - - Includes organisms containing a photosynthetic plastid that arose through an ancient endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium
