HYPHOMONAS ADHAERENS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Hyphomonas |
| Species: | Hyphomonas adhaerens |
| Description: | Hyphomonas adhaerens is a marine, budding/prosthecate bacteria. It is a primary colonizer on submerged surfaces in the marine environment. They are found in ocean niches, mud sloughs and hydrothermal vent sites. The main body of the mother cell is a prolate spheroid, 1-2 μm in diameter with one prosthecum 0-2 μm wide by 1-5 μm long. The main body of the reproductive cell is surrounded by a capsular polysaccharide. It is gram-negative, not acid-fast, has no endospores, and is aerobic. It is also motile by a single flagellum. In experiments, it forms in colonies that are round and undulate and are 1-5 mm in diameter after three days at 30°C. It forms a thick biofilm in liquid media and grows optimally at 27-37°C. Optimum growth in ocean salt is 1.5-12% and pH at 5.7-8.7. It also reduces nitrate. |
