  Proteobacteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The group is defined mainly in terms of ribosomal RNA sequences, and is named for the Greek god Proteus (also the name of a bacterial genus within the Proteobacteria), who could change his shape, because of the great diversity of forms found in it.
All Proteobacteria are Gram-negative, with an outer membrane mainly composed of lipopolysaccharides.
The proteobacteria are divided into five sections, referred to by the Greek letters alpha through epsilon, again based on rRNA sequences.

 Proteobacteria
Classically, the photosynthetic proteobacteria were placed in two families, the Chromatiaceae and the Ectothiorhodospiraceae.
The purple nonsulfur bacteria are primarily alpha proteobacteria

 Proteobacteria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Proteobacteria are a major group of Gram negative bacteria, equivalent in size and diversity to the Gram positive bacteria.
The Proteobacteria exhibit a wide variety of types of metabolism: aerobic, anaerobic, heterotrophic, autotrophic, phototrophic and lithotrophic.
The proteobacteria are divided into five sections, referred to by the Greek letters alpha through epsilon, based on analysis of their 16S ribosomal RNA sequences.

 The Proteobacteria
Proteobacteria is the second largest group of bacteria.
Proteobacteria are all gram negative, but otherwise represent a diverse range of organisms such as the Purple phototrophic, Nitrifying bacteria and Enteric bacteria as well as the bacteria responsible for animal bioluminescence.
A variety of Proteobacteria produce extensions from their main cell, these can be of various shapes but are of smaller diameter than the mother cell.

 Enterobacteriaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genetic studies place them among the Proteobacteria, and they are given their own order (Enterobacteriales), though this is sometimes taken to include some related environmental samples.
Like other Proteobacteria they have Gram-negative stains, and they are facultative anaerobes, fermenting sugars to produce lactic acid and various other end products.
Unlike most similar bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae generally lack oxidase, although there are exceptions (e.g.

 Do alpha proteobacteria have composite genomes?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Most alpha proteobacteria have large genomes (for example, the Bradyrhizobium japonicum genome is over 9 Mb).
The basic genome encodes cell maintenance and universal metabolism and is quite similar in all alpha proteobacteria regardless of their lifestyle.
We conclude that, within the alpha proteobacteria, genes that are universally present tend to be on the main chromosome and tend to support a consensus phylogeny.

The Proteobacteria are a huge group of organisms with as much metabolic diversity as the Plants and Animals combined.
For example, many bioluminescent bacteria can use their anaerobic capabilities to live in the guts of fish and their aerobic abilities to live in the light organs of fish or to survive in the aerobic waters of the open oceans.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Protein domains and architectural innovation in plant-associated Proteobacteria
It is notable that the Proteobacteria do not form a single distinct cluster in the protein-domain based classification in Figure 1.
Therefore we investigated whether any protein domain families were over-represented in the plant-associated proteobacteria with respect to the background distribution of domains in all Proteobacteria for which complete sequences were available.
Having investigated patterns of presence or absence of domains within bacterial proteomes, we next identified which domains are most over-represented in the plant-pathogenic Proteobacteria as compared with the frequency of occurrence in all the sequenced Proteobacteria (Table 3).

 Immigrant: The database of immigrant genes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Some potential false negatives can be found by looking at genes that were not predicted to be immigrants but that are annotated in Swissprot to function in the mitochondria or chloroplast.
Here is a list of some genes that were not predicted by our methods but had a Swissprot entry with a TRANSIT key in the feature table, the string "mitoch" or "chloro" in the SUBCELLULAR LOCATION, or the string "mitoch" or "chloro" in the OG field.
In some cases the gene in the Proteobacteria could have been transferred to another bacteria or vic versa.
