MICROBULBIFER VARIBILIS

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Microbulbifer
Species: Microbulbifer varibilis
Description: Cells are Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Catalase- and oxidase-positive. Colonies on MA are irregular (young cultures), rhizoid (older cultures), umbonate, glossy and transparent (young cultures) to opaque (older cultures). Colour of colonies is milky white (young cultures) and yellow–green in the central portion (older cultures). Colonies on 1/10 MA are very thin and spreading.
Synonyms:
Source: The type strain isolated from the surfaces of green, brown and red algae, a cyanobacterium and seagrass, collected in tropical and subtropical areas (Palau, Yap and Ishigaki Jima) in the Pacific Ocean.
