PSEUDOXANTHOMONAS JAPONENSIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Pseudoxanthomonas |
| Species: | Pseudoxanthomonas japonensis |
| Description: | Adjective japonensis pertaining to Japan, where the type strain was isolated).Exhibits all of the characteristics of the mesophilic members.Members are non-spore-forming rods, usually 0.4–0.8x0.9–1.5μm, which stain Gram-negative. They have a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with O2 as preferential terminal electron acceptor and can reducenitrite but not nitrate. N2O is always a main productof nitrite reduction if not the only one. Colonies on solid media are generally yellow to pale yellow or beige. |
