What are procaryotes?
bacteria and cyanobacteria
Rickettsia
small obligate intracelluar parasites (like viruses), yet they are cellular in nature and divide by binary fission (like bacteria). commonly found in insects

airborn
Chlamydiae
small obligate intracellular parasites (like viruses). they are celluar and live inside the host cell and also divide by binary fission.
