Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Proteobacteria is a microorganisms that cell wall is composed of lipopolysaccharides and a thin peptidoglycan layer. It is a Gram negative bacteria and its phototropic, chemoautotrophic, chemoorganotrophic in nature. It is a known bacterial species in agricultural, medical and industrial purposes.
