ACTINOBACILLUS SUCCINOGENES
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Actinobacillus |
| Species: | Actinobacillus succinogenes |
| Description: | Cells are non-motile, pleomorphic, Gram-negative rods (0.8 x 1 μm). Occasional filamentous cells are seen in most cultures. 'Morse code' forms and chains are common in actively growing broth cultures. Cells within an extracellular matrix are common in aerobically grown cultures. Chemo-organotrophic. Yeast extract and CO₂, stimulate growth. Colonies produced on TSB agar are circular, entire, grey, translucent and 1-1.5 mm in diameter after 24 h incubation at 37°C with CO₂. Growth occurs at 37-39°C, but not at 20 or 45°C. |
