ROSEOVARIUS TOLERANS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Roseovarius |
| Species: | Roseovarius tolerans |
| Description: | Roseovarius tolerans,Gram-negative, aerobic, pointed and budding bacteria were isolated from various depths of the hypersaline, heliothermal and meromictic Ekho Lake (Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica). The cells contained storage granules and daughter cells could be motile. Bacteriochlorophyll a was sometimes produced but production was repressed by constant dim light. The strains tolerated a wide range of temperature, pH, concentrations of artificial seawater and NaCI, but had an absolute requirement for sodium ions. Glutamate was metabolized with and without an additional source of combined nitrogen. |
