Prokaryotic organisms

Prokaryotic organisms like bacteria and archaea have a variety roles in society from causing foodborne
illnesses (i.e. Salmonella, E.coli and Listeria), being involved in symbiotic relationships (Rhizobium and
nitrogen fixation) and they have medicinal purposes (i.e. production of antibodies) to name a few. For Week 1,
after you have completed the readings (Chapters 14 – 17 and specifically Chapter 17), research the internet
and use reliable and credible scientific resources to investigate a specific prokaryotic organism (a bacterial or
archaea species) and discuss it and its role within society.

harmful, beneficial or mutualistic relationship) ? What role does it play in the ecosystem, etc.?
