ROSEOBACTER GALLAECIENSIS

Class: Alpha Proteobacteria
Genus: Roseobacter
Species: Roseobacter gallaeciensis
Description: A new marine bacterium isolated from rearings and collectors of the scallop Pecten maximus.Cells were Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, ovoid rods. They grew at temperatures from 15 to 37 °C and from pH 7·0 to 10, but did not grow in the absence of NaCl and required growth factors. They had the ability to use a wide variety of compounds as sole carbon source: D-mannose, D-galactose, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-xylose, melibiose, trehalose, maltose, cellobiose, sucrose, meso-erythritol, D-mannitol, glycerol, D-sorbitol, meso-inositol, succinate, propionate, butyrate, γ-aminobutyrate, DL-hydroxybutyrate, 2-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, fumarate, glycine, L-α-alanine, β-alanine, L-glutamate, L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L-proline.
