Caulobacter
''Caulobacter'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Its best-known member is ''Caulobacter crescentus'', an organism ubiquitous in freshwater lakes and rivers; many members of the genus are specialized to Trophic state index#Oligotrophic, oligotrophic environments. Interactions with other organisms Pathogenicity Although ''Caulobacter'' is not commonly appreciated as a cause of human diseases, ''Caulobacter'' isolates have been implicated in a number of cases of recurrent peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. One study has identified the species ''C. crescentus'' and ''C. mirare'' as the cause of a disease of the moth ''Galleria mellonella''; the absence of identified distinct virulence factors in ''C. mirare'' may suggest that other ''Caulobacter'' species have pathogenic potential.

Caulobacter Crescentus
''Caulobacter crescentus'' is a Gram-negative, oligotrophic bacterium widely distributed in fresh water lakes and streams. The taxon is more properly known as ''Caulobacter vibrioides'' (Henrici and Johnson 1935). ''C. crescentus'' is an important model organism for studying the regulation of the cell cycle, asymmetric cell division, and cellular differentiation. ''Caulobacter'' daughter cells have two very different forms. One daughter is a mobile "swarmer" cell that has a single flagellum at one cell pole that provides swimming motility for chemotaxis. The other daughter, called the "stalked" cell, has a tubular stalk structure protruding from one pole that has an adhesive holdfast material on its end, with which the stalked cell can adhere to surfaces. Swarmer cells differentiate into stalked cells after a short period of motility. Chromosome replication and cell division only occurs in the stalked cell stage. ''C. crescentus'' derives its name from its crescent shape, ...
