HYDROCARBONIPHAGA EFFUSA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Hydrocarboniphaga |
| Species: | Hydrocarboniphaga effusa |
| Description: | Gram-negative rods, 0.75–0.85 x 1.5–2μm (mean 0.8 x 1.2μm), occurring singly or rarely in short chains, motile by means of a single flagellum of polar or subpolar insertion.On solid culture media, particularly on those chemically defined, swarming cells at the border cover a large area. The cells are absolutely aerobic and grow well on complex media and on chemically defined media,indicating that they do not require organic growth factors. |
