OLIGOTROPHA CARBOXIDOVORANS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Oligotropha |
| Species: | Oligotropha carboxidovorans |
| Description: | Oligotropha carboxidovorans is able to use carbon monoxide as an energy source. The gene for carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the utilization of carbon monoxide, is carried on a low-copy-number megaplasmid along with genes required for the utilization of hydrogen and carbon dioxide.Oligotropha carboxidovorans is a Gram-negative soil bacterium. It is aerobic, the cells are rod-shaped. Oligotropha carboxidovorans is the sole species represented by the genus Oligotropha. |
