FRATEURIA AURANTIA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Frateuria |
| Species: | Frateuria aurantia |
| Description: | Gram-negative, straight rods, 0.5 to 0.7 by 0.7 to 3.5 μm, which occur singly or in pairs, rarely in filaments or as irregular cells and never in chains. Motile by means of polar flagella.Luxuriant growth occurs on glucose-yeast extract-CaC03 medium. After 6 days at 30°C, the brownish colonies measure 2 to 5 mm in diameter, have a dark brown center, and are glistening, flat, or raised and circular with a regular edge. Some strains show a typical browning of the medium-due to a water-soluble pigment-after 3 days of incubation, others only after 6 to 10 days. The color tends to become dark coffee brown. |
