1. Pathogenic Species: Several pathogenic bacteria belong to the class Gammaproteobacteria. These can cause a range of infections and diseases in humans. Examples of pathogenic bacteria within this class include Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Infections with these bacteria can lead to gastrointestinal issues, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and other illnesses.

2. Beneficial Roles: While some Gammaproteobacteria are associated with infections, others play beneficial roles in various environmental processes. For example, certain members of this class are involved in nitrogen fixation, which is crucial for making nitrogen available to plants and supporting ecosystems.

3. Nitrogen Cycling: Some Gammaproteobacteria, such as certain species of Pseudomonas, play a role in nitrogen cycling by participating in the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into forms usable by plants. This process is essential for the fertility of soil and the growth of plants.

4. Bioremediation: Certain members of Gammaproteobacteria, particularly Pseudomonas species, have been studied for their ability to degrade pollutants and participate in bioremediation processes. They can break down or transform various environmental contaminants.

5. Symbiotic Relationships: Some bacteria within Gammaproteobacteria form symbiotic relationships with host organisms. For instance, certain species of Vibrio are symbiotic with marine animals, such as certain types of fish and squid, playing a role in nutrient cycling and providing benefits to their hosts.

6. Marine and Aquatic Environments: Gammaproteobacteria are commonly found in marine and aquatic environments. They contribute to the microbial communities in oceans, seas, and freshwater systems, participating in nutrient cycling and ecological processes.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
