When I searched terms on the Gene Ontology website I didn't find it very helpful. It pretty much told me what I already knew, e.g. that Mg ion binding was interacting with Mg ions. However, I was still able to put together some idea of what the terms may mean as a whole. Looking at the spreadsheet, I found that the main theme for the 22 results was the development and organization (and morphogenesis) of cellular parts, particularly flagellum. Looking at my highlighted Excel file, the orange category involves such organization. From my Microbiology class I know that flagellum are crucial for motility and can be a crucial virulence factor in bacteria. Flagellum are motor appendages that the bacteria use to swim towards or away from a stimulus (chemotaxis) and contribute extensively to pathogenecity by allowing them to move towards cells that they could potentially infect.

The green category, concerning metabolic processes, and the blue category concerning transport of acids (organic, carboxylic, and amino acid) could contribute to pathogenecity simply because these are processes that need to function properly in order for bacteria to be in their prime, so to speak. Metabolic processes are a way of converting something into usable energy and bacteria, like all life, needs an energy source to survive and function. Other things such as hydrolase activity (hydrolase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes chemical bonds between two molecules, in this case carbon-nitrogen bonds) can also contribute to the bacteria's metabolic function and therefore to its pathogenecity.
