1. Symbiotic Relationships:

   • Many Alphaproteobacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants. For example, some species within the genus Rhizobium are known for their ability to form nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of leguminous plants, contributing to soil fertility.

2. Plant Pathogens:

   • Some Alphaproteobacteria are plant pathogens and can cause diseases in various crops. For instance, Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a pathogen that causes crown gall disease in plants.

3. Insect Symbionts:

   • Certain Alphaproteobacteria are associated with insects and may play roles in their symbiotic relationships. For example, Wolbachia is an intracellular bacterium found in many insects and other arthropods, and it can influence the reproduction of its host.

4. Potential Human Pathogens:

   • While many Alphaproteobacteria have ecological roles in non-human environments, some can be opportunistic pathogens in humans. For instance, members of the genus Brucella are associated with brucellosis, a zoonotic infection transmitted from animals to humans.

5. Marine Environments:

   • Some Alphaproteobacteria are found in marine environments and are important contributors to the marine nitrogen cycle. They play roles in nitrogen fixation and the degradation of organic matter.

Legend

• 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
