PHOTOBACTERIUM ILIOPISCARIUM
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Photobacterium |
| Species: | Photobacterium iliopiscarium |
| Description: | Gram-negative pleomorphic cells; in broth with more than 2% salt bacteria (culture) tend to aggregate. Motile. In 2% NaCl broth medium without glucose, the dominant morphology is curved rods. Morphology of the colonies varies; in broth with more than 2% salt bacteria (culture) tend to aggregate, the dominant morphology of young cultures is small, colorless to grayish & opaque. Facultative anaerobe (growth is better under aerobic conditions), not luminescent, no hemolysin production, chemoorganotrophic. |
