Stenotrophomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, [2] comprising at least twenty-six species. The main reservoirs of Stenotrophomonas are soil and plants. [ 3 ] Stenotrophomonas species range from common soil organisms ( S. nitritireducens ) to opportunistic human pathogens ( S. maltophilia ); the molecular taxonomy of the genus is still ...
Bacteriology is the study of bacteria and their relation to medicine. Bacteriology evolved from physicians needing to apply the germ theory to address the concerns relating to disease spreading in hospitals the 19th century. [5] Identification and characterizing of bacteria being associated to diseases led to advances in pathogenic bacteriology.
Examples include: Phylogeny: All bacteria stem from a common ancestor and diversified since, and consequently possess different levels of evolutionary relatedness (see Bacterial phyla and Timeline of evolution) Metabolism: Different bacteria may have different metabolic abilities (see Microbial metabolism)
The blowholes of a gray whale, with barnacle epibionts The tabulate coral Aulopora attached to the brachiopod Strophodonta, from the Middle Devonian of Wisconsin. An epibiont (from the Ancient Greek meaning "living on top of") is an organism that lives on the surface of another living organism, called the basibiont ("living underneath").
Snottite, also snoticle, is a microbial mat of single-celled extremophilic bacteria which hang from the walls and ceilings of caves and are similar to small stalactites, but have the consistency of nasal mucus.
The species name of an organism in the status of Candidatus consists of the word Candidatus, followed by an either a genus name with a specific epithet, or only a genus name, or only a specific epithet.
A number of Betaproteobacteria are diazotrophs, meaning that they can fix molecular nitrogen from the air as their nitrogen source for growth – this is important to the farming industry as it is a primary means of ammonium levels in soils rising without the presence of leguminous plants.
