The Campylobacterales are an order of bacteria. Ecologically and in terms of their metabolism, they are a very diverse group. This also includes some medically important pathogens. You will be sent to the department of proteobacteria , the Gram stain turns out negative, as with all members of this class.
features
The cells of the Campylobacterales are usually curved or spiral, with the exception of Thiovulum majus , which forms round or egg-shaped cells. The species are usually microaerophilic , they can only live in environments with low oxygen levels. Some are also completely anaerobic ; these species can only survive in the complete absence of oxygen.
Thiovulum majus is one of the fastest moving bacteria at 600 micrometers per second.
Different types of Campylobacter can cause inflammation of the small intestine ( enteritis ) with bloody diarrhea, the so-called Campylobacter enteritis . Humans are infected through drinking water and food, often through poultry meat.
There are also some sulfur oxidizing bacteria present within the Campylobacterales. Thiovulum oxidizes hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) with oxygen (O 2 ) to form elemental sulfur (S). During these reactions, energy is released that is used by the bacteria to assimilate carbon dioxide. Thiovulum thus plays an important role in the earth's sulfur cycle . The genus Sulfurospirillum , which belongs to the Campylobacteraceae family, reduces elemental sulfur with formic acid or hydrogen and thereby gains energy. Sulfurospirillum is therefore also important in the sulfur cycle.
