BREVUNDIMONAS ABYSSALIS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Brevundimonas |
| Species: | Brevundimonas abyssalis |
| Description: | A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, psychrotolerant, alkali-tolerant, heterotrophic and dimorphic prosthecate bacterium, designated strain TAR-001(T), was isolated from deep-sea floor sediment in Japan. Cells of this strain had a dimorphic life cycle and developed an adhesive stalk at a site not coincident with the centre of the cell pole, and the other type of cell, a swarm cell, had a polar flagellum. Colonies were glossy, viscous and yellowish-white in colour. The temperature, pH and salt concentration range for growth were 2-41 °C, pH 6.5-10.0 and 1-4% (w/v) NaCl. |
