Alphaproteobacteria is a class of bacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria (See also bacterial taxonomy). Its members are highly diverse and possess few commonalities but nevertheless share a common ancestor. Like most members of the Proteobacteria most of its members are Gram-negative and some of its intracellular parasitic members lack peptidoglycan and are consequently gram variable.
