LYSOBACTER SPONGIICOLA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Lysobacter |
| Species: | Lysobacter spongiicola |
| Description: | Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive rod-shaped bacteria (0.5–0.6μm wide and 1.3–1.5μm long),motile by means of single polar flagella. Cells grown on agar media can be observed as non-motile because of their tendency to lose flagella easily. On R2A agar and trypticase soy agar, colonies are yellowish in colour, transparent, smooth and shiny, have regular edges and are 3–4 mm in diameter; on MA or media supplemented with NaCl or natural seawater, colonies are yellow-brownish or brown-reddish in colour. |
