NICOLETELLA SEMOLINA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Nicoletella |
| Species: | Nicoletella semolina |
| Description: | Cells are gram-negative, nonmotile, pleomorphic rods. The species is capnophilic, and optimal growth conditions are on chocolate agar in a 5% CO2 atmosphere, on which after 24 to 48 h incubation it forms typical colonies of 0.5 to 2 mm in diameter which can be moved around on the plate like a semolina particle without losing their shape. The colony morphology is so typical that laboratory personnel can easily make a preliminary identification of this species.This is therefore an important diagnostic marker. The colonies are gray, odorless, and nonhemolytic and show positive reactions for catalase, oxidase, and urease. The species is biochemically inert when physiological characteristics are tested during growth. |
