PHENYLOBACTERIUM LITUIFORME
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Phenylobacterium |
| Species: | Phenylobacterium lituiforme |
| Description: | Phenylobacterium lituiforme,a moderately thermophilic bacterium from a subsurface aquifer.A facultative anaerobic bacterium, strain FaiI3(T), was isolated from samples collected from the free-flowing waters of a bore well (Fairlea Bore, registration number 3768) which taps into the Australian Great Artesian Basin subsurface thermal aquifer. Strain FaiI3(T) developed yellow to pale-yellow colonies (0.5-1.5 mm) after 48 h. The non-spore forming rods (0.5x1-3 microm) were slightly curved, occurred singly and as pairs and were motile with a single polar flagellum. Cells tended to form clumps in liquid medium and rosettes were commonly observed. The cells stained Gram-negative and electron micrographs of thin sections revealed a multi-layered complex Gram-negative cell wall structure. |
