What are the organisms that live intracellularly?
Is there a difference between facultative and obligate IC organisms?

Intracellular organisms:
1. obligate - it means they can only live inside the cell
- a) viruses
- b) intracellular bacteria (Chlamydia, Rikettia)
2. facultative - it means they can live both intra and extracellularly
Extracellular organisms:
they live only outside of the cell

The obligate intracellular organisms can't make ATP.
What about the facultative organisms?
