ALTEROMONAS STELLIPOLARIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Alteromonas |
| Species: | Alteromonas stellipolaris |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative, short rods (0.4 x 2.0–7.0μm) with a single, polar flagellum. Prosthecae are produced peritrichously and can be branched. Buds can be formed on mother and daughter cells and also at the end of the prostheca. Forms creamy-white, circular, flat to low convex, shiny, opaque and slimy colonies that are slightly adherent to agar, with entire margins and a diameter of 2–5 mm on marine agar plates after 3 days incubation at 20°C. Growth occurs on marine agar and PYG agar; slight growth is observed on nutrient agar, but no growth is seen on trypticase soy agar or R2A agar. |
