Alpha Proteobacteria

The first class of Proteobacteria is the Alphaproteobacteria. The unifying characteristic of this class is that they are oligotrophs, organisms capable of living in low-nutrient environments such as deep oceanic sediments, glacial ice, or deep undersurface soil.

Among the Alphaproteobacteria are two taxa, chlamydias and rickettsias, that are obligate intracellular pathogens, meaning that part of their life cycle must occur inside other cells called host cells. When not growing inside a host cell, Chlamydia and Rickettsia are metabolically inactive outside of the host cell. They cannot synthesize their own adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and, therefore, rely on cells for their energy needs.

SPHINGOMONAS ORYZITERRAE

Class:	Alpha Proteobacteria
Genus:	Sphingomonas
Species:	Sphingomonas oryziterrae
Description:	Sphingomonas oryziterrae,two Gram-reaction-negative, yellow-orange-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated YC6722(T) and YC6723(T), were isolated from rhizosphere soil samples collected from rice fields in Jinju, Korea. Strains YC6722(T) and YC6723(T) grew optimally at 25-30 °C and at pH 7.0-8.5.
