LYSOBACTER BRUNESCENS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Lysobacter |
| Species: | Lysobacter brunescens |
| Description: | Adjective brunescens becoming dark brown. Flexible rods 0.2 to 0.5 by 7.0 to 70.0 μm.On CCA, 5-day-old colonies are brownish-yel- low and irregular with a rough surface; the edge may be undulate, lobate,erose, or filamentous; the elevation is effuse; the center is convex or umbonate; transparent; variable amounts of a brown, water-soluble pigment are produced.On SAA,5-day-old colonies are yellow-brown and circular to irregular; rough or smooth surface; edge may be entire, undulate, lobate, erose, or filamentous; the elevation is effuse, sometimes raised; the centers are often raised, convex, or umbonate; transparent or translucent; variable amounts of a brown, water-soluble pigment are produced. On PCA, 5-day-old colonies are deep yellow- brown and circular to irregular; smooth or rough surface; the edge may be entire, undulate, erose, or filamentous; the elevation is effuse, raised, or convex; the center may sometimes be umbonate; translucent; typically, a dark brown, water-soluble pigment is copiously produced. Older cultures on all media produce copious, dark-brown, water-soluble pigment. |
