PHOTOBACTERIUM ANGUSTUM
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Photobacterium |
| Species: | Photobacterium angustum |
| Description: | Gram-negative rods. Involution forms occur in old cultures and under adverse growth conditions. Motile by means of unsheathed polar flagella.Colonies are smooth, semitranslucent, convex, ivory. Grow on blood agar, BHI-agar, TSA supplemented with 1% NaCl, thiosulfate citrate bile sucrose agar, and marine agar. Is unable to grow in the absence of Na+; able to grow in nutrient broth with 1-6% NaCl. Grow at 4-37 ºC (20-25 ºC optimum temperature). Facultative anaerobe,chemoorganotrophic, not luminescent , no hemolysin production. |
