==Classification==

===Higher order taxa===
Kingdom – Domain – Phylum – Class – Order – Family – Genus {{color|red|genus}}
===Species===
Species name and type strain (consult LPSN http://www.bacterio.net/index.html for this information)

==Description and significance==

Give a general description of the species (e.g. where/when was it first discovered, where is it commonly found, has it been cultured, functional role, type of bacterium [Gram+/-], morphology, etc.) and explain why it is important to study this microorganism. Examples of citations <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>, <sup>[[#References|[2]]]</sup>

==Genome structure==

Select a strain for which genome information (e.g. size, plasmids, distinct genes, etc.) is available. 

==Cell structure and metabolism==

Cell wall, biofilm formation, motility, metabolic functions. 

==Ecology==

Aerobe/anaerobe, habitat (location in the oral cavity, potential other environments) and microbe/host interactions.

==Pathology==

Do these microorganisms cause disease in the oral cavity or elsewhere? 

==Application to biotechnology==

Bioengineering, biotechnologically relevant enzyme/compound production, drug targets,…
