Chapter 22.1, Problem 7RIA
Summary Introduction
The α-Proteobacteria or Alphaproteobacteria is the most abundant bacteria when compared with all the microbes consisting of twenty families with seven orders. Most of these microbes show aerobic respiration. Some of the α-Proteobacteria are seen to grow in the animal and plant cell, while some species of α-Proteobacteria form symbiotic with the plant, which is called as Rhizobium that can able fix nitrogen in the soil.
