Proteobacteria
Stackebrandt, E. et al., 1988 [1] |
The Proteobacteria are a major group (phylum) of bacteria. They include a wide variety of pathogens, such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Vibrio, Helicobacter, Yersinia, and many other notable genera.[2] Others are free-living (non-parasitic), and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation.
Carl Woese established this grouping in 1987, calling it informally the "purple bacteria and their relatives".[3] Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, the Proteobacteria are named after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea capable of assuming many different shapes; it is not named after the genus Proteus.[1][4]

Characteristics
All proteobacteria are Gram-negative, with an outer membrane mainly composed of lipopolysaccharides. Many move about using flagella, but some are nonmotile or rely on bacterial gliding. The last include the myxobacteria, a unique group of bacteria that can aggregate to form multicellular fruiting bodies. There is also a wide variety in the types of metabolism. Most members are facultatively or obligately anaerobic, chemoautotrophs, and heterotrophic, but there are numerous exceptions. A variety of genera, which are not closely related to each other, convert energy from light through photosynthesis. These are called purple bacteria, referring to their mostly reddish pigmentation.

Phylogeny of proteobacteria according to ARB living tree, iTOL, Bergey's and others. |
The group is defined primarily in terms of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences. The Proteobacteria are divided into six sections, referred to by the Greek letters alpha through zeta. These were previously regarded as subclasses of the phylum, but they are now treated as classes. The naming convention for the classes is to style each in italics with a capital first letter: Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Epsilonproteobacteria, and Acidithiobacillia. Class "Zetaproteobacteria" is not yet validly published.[5]
The alpha, beta, delta, and epsilon classes are monophyletic.[6][7][8] The genus Acidithiobacillus, part of the Gammaproteobacteria until it was transferred to Class Acidithiobacillia in 2013,[9] is paraphyletic to Betaproteobacteria according to multigenome alignment studies.[10]
