PHOTOBACTERIUM APHOTICUM
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Photobacterium |
| Species: | Photobacterium aphoticum |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-reaction-negative, motile bacilli, 0.7–1.1 x 2.2–3.3μm. Chemo-organotrophic and facultatively anaerobic. Ferments glucose, galactose and melibiose without production of gas. Oxidase- and catalase-positive.Grows on MA, producing regular colonies 1.5–2.0 mm in diameter with a diffusible light-brown pigment after 24 h of incubation at 28°C. No luminescence was observed on MA or LM. Grows on TCBS agar producing green(sucrose-negative) colonies. |
