Chapter 15.2, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Betaproteobacteria are a class of Gram-negative bacteria. It is one of the eight classes of the phylum Proteobacteria and it is the third largest class of Proteobacteria. The Betaproteobacteria enclose an enormous amount of functional diversity. Betaproteobacteria have several characterized species. This includes Burkholderiales, Rhodocyclales, Nitrosomonadales, Methylophilales, Hydrogenophilales, and Neisseriales.

What is a major habitat for many species of Acidobacteria?
Why mightproteorhodopsin make a bacterium such as Pelagibacter morecompetitive in its habitat?
Flasks A and B contain broth, and are inoculated with an identical number of bacteria that are facultative anaerobes. Flask A contains a triglyceride lipid as the sole nutrient source, and Flask B contains a monosaccharide called fructose as the sole nutrient source. Both flasks are incubated at 30°C with aeration (oxygen is added to the broth). Assume the bacteria are capable of catabolism of both fructose and triglycerides.
Mark all the correct statements pertaining to these cultures.
A. Under anaerobic conditions, cells in flask A will produce more ATP
B. Cells from flask B will produce more carbon dioxide
C. Cells from flask B will produce more ATP
D. Flask A will have the greater cell mass
E. Cells from flask A will produce more ATP
F. Cells from flask A will produce more carbon dioxide
G. Flask B will have the greater cell mass
H. Under anaerobic conditions, cells in flask B will produce more ATP
