Match the following taxa to their descriptions:

1. Require large amounts of organic nutrients, important decomposers, many severe and life-threatening human pathogens.

2. Have 2 giant S1 ribosomal protein genes, some form myxospores and some are predatory on other bacteria.

3. Fungi that can reproduce asexually or sexually by forming a zygospore.

4. Unicellular Eukaryotic chemoheterotrophic protists. Some have complex parasitic sexual reproduction that involves multiple host species.

5. High G+C Gram-positive bacteria that often have branching filaments, live in the soil, and resemble fungi.

6. Bacteria with no cell wall that are obligate intracellular parasites.

7. Bacteria with a membrane-enclosed nucleoid resembling a Eukaryotic nucleus.

8. Multicellular eukaryotic parasitic animals, often have a complex sexual reproduction involving multiple host species.

9. Microaerophilic bacteria that swim quickly in high viscosity environments. Most live in the digestive tract of animals.

10. Largest taxonomic group of bacteria. Includes 5 classes of Gram-negative bacteria.

11. Share few common features and are grouped solely on rRNA sequence similarity. Form symbiotic relationships with geothermic ocean vent animals, and some are highly pathogenic gastrointestinal tract facultative anaerobes.

12. Eukaryotic obligate intracellular fungal parasite.

13. Single-celled fungi.

14. Highly diverse low G+C ratio Gram-positive bacteria. Some form endospores, and some are a critical part of the human microbiome.

15. Capable of growing in low nutrient environments, have prosthecae, and often form close associations with plants and animals.

16. Prokaryotes that lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls and are often extremophiles.

17. Six-legged flying insect vector that carries pathogenic microorganisms such as Plasmodium.

18. A Eukaryotic plant-like protist that produces approximately 80% of Earth's oxygen.

19. Fungi that can reproduce asexually or sexually by forming ascospores.

20. Multicellular fungi with a thallus and mycelium.

21. Non-Proteobacteria that contribute significantly to oxygenic photosynthesis on earth.

22. Kingdom of chemoheterotrophs with chitin cell walls.

23. Fungi that can reproduce asexually or sexually by forming basidiospores.

  2. Chlamydia: Bacteria with no cell wall that are obligate intracellular parasites.
  3. Planctomycetes: Bacteria with a membrane enclosed nucleoid resembling a Eukaryotic nucleus.

Protozoa: Unicellular Eukaryotic chemoheterotrophic protists. Some have complex parasitic sexual reproduction that involves multiple host species.

Alphaproteobacteria: Microaerophilic bacteria that swim quickly in high viscosity environments. Most live in the digestive tract of animals.

Proteobacteria: Largest taxonomic group of bacteria. Includes 5 classes of Gram-negative bacteria.

Thermotogae: Share few common features and are grouped solely on rRNA sequence similarity. Form symbiotic relationships with geothermic ocean vent animals, and some are highly pathogenic gastrointestinal tract facultative anaerobes.

Microsporidia: Eukaryotic obligate intracellular fungal parasite.

Ascomycota: Fungi that can reproduce asexually, or sexually by forming ascospores.

Mycota: Multicellular fungi with a thallus and mycelium.
