ROSEIBACTERIUM ELONGATUM
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Roseibacterium |
| Species: | Roseibacterium elongatum |
| Description: | Roseibacterium elongatum,an aerobic, bacteriochlorophyll-containing bacterium isolated from the west coast of Australia .A novel aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, bacteriochlorophyll-containing bacterium, strain OCh 323T, was isolated from sand at Monkey Mia, Shark Bay, located on the west coast of Australia. The cells were Gram-negative, non-motile rods of variable length; one or both cell poles was narrower. Bacteriochlorophyll a was synthesized under aerobic conditions. Catalase, oxidase and urease were produced. The ONPG reaction was positive. |
