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
