Bacterial "phyla"
[edit]- Acidobacteria, phenotipically diverse, but mostly uncultured
- Actinobacteria, High-G+C Gram positive species, notable genera/species include Streptomyces (antibiotic production), Propionibacterium acnes (odorous skin commensal) and Propionobacter shermanii(holes in Emmental)
- Aquificae, only 14 thermophilic genera, deep branching
- Bacteroidetes, some opportunistic pathogens or human gut commensal, urban myth as a bacterial weight loss powder
- Caldiserica, formerly candidate division OP5, Caldisericum exile is the sole representative
- Chlamydiae, only 6 genera of obbligate intracellular pathogens, such as Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamidia infection)
Done
- Chlorobi, only 7 genera of obligately anaerobic photoautotrophic bacteria, known colloquially as Green sulfur bacteria
- Chloroflexi,diverse phylum including thermophiles and halorespirers, known colloquially as Green non-sulfur bacteria
- Chrysiogenetes, only 3 genera (Chrysiogenes arsenatis, Desulfurispira natronophila, Desulfurispirillum alkaliphilum)
Done (not sure about these 3 spp tho)
- Cyanobacteria, major photosynthetic clade believed to have caused Earth's oxygen atmosphere, also known as the blue-green algae
- Deferribacteres
- Deinococcus-Thermus, Deinococcus radiodurans and Thermus aquaticus are "commonly known" species of this phyla

Done
- Firmicutes, Low-G+C Gram positive species most often spore-forming, in two/three classes: the class Bacilli such as the Bacillus spp. (e.g. B. anthracis, a pathogen, and B.subtilis, biotechnologically useful), lactic acid bacteria (e.g. Lactobacillus casei in yoghurt,Oenococcus oeni in malolactic fermentation, Streptococcus pyogenes, pathogen), the class Clostridia of mostly anaerobic sulphite-reducing saprophytic species, includes the genus Clostridium (e.g. the pathogens C. dificile,C. tetani,C. botulinum and the biotech C. acetobutylicum)
