[edit] Classification [edit] Higher order taxa

Domain; Phylum; Class; Order; family [Others may be used. Use NCBI link to find] [edit] Species

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species [edit] Description and significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important. [edit] Genome structure

Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?

[edit] Cell structure and metabolism

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.

[edit] Ecology

Habitat; symbiosis; contributions to the environment. [edit] Pathology

How does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms. [edit] Current Research and or Application to Biotechnology
