The Alcaligenaceae are a bacteria - family needed to order the Burkholderiales belongs. Like all proteobacteria, they are gram negative .
features
Almost all representatives of the Alcaligenaceae are aerobic and chemoorganotrophic . Accordingly, the metabolic pathway is oxidative (breathing). However, some species (e.g. strains of Alcaligenes faecalis ) are also able to live in the absence of oxygen ( anaerobically ). Under these conditions, instead of oxygen, they use nitrate as an electron acceptor (nitrate breathing, denitrification ). Many species use organic acids and various amino acids as carbon sources. Often they are motile by peritrich arranged flagella , but immobile species are also present (e.g. Bordetella parapertussis and Taylorella equigenitalis ).
Pathogenicity
Some pathogenic species (pathogens) can be found in this family. So Taylor equigenitalis the causative agent of contagious equine metritis . Bordetella pertussis is dangerous to humans and can cause whooping cough .
