BORDETELLA TREMATUM
| Class: | Beta Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Bordetella |
| Species: | Bordetella trematum |
| Description: | Bordetella trematum is a Gram-negative, capsulated, nonspore-forming, rod about 0.5 μm wide and 1.0-1.8 μm long, but rods as long as 2.4 μm have been observed. It grows aerobically at temperatures ranging from 25-42 °C, with optimal temperature for growth ranging from 35-37 °C. Microaerobic growth may be observed at optimal temperatures. It is motile via peritrichous flagella. |
