| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Photobacterium |
| Species: | Photobacterium indicum |
| Description: | The pleomorphic cells appear rod- or coccus-shaped, being 0.7–1.0μm in width and 2.0–6.0μm in length. Colonies are yellow. There is motility with polar monotrichous flagella. Growth occurs at 4–25°C, pH 4.5–9.5. Acid is produced from glucose, and the cells can use glucose,sucrose and maltose for fermentation, but cannot use lactose, arabinose, gelatin, casein or starch. |
