PSEUDOXANTHOMONAS KALAMENSIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Pseudoxanthomonas |
| Species: | Pseudoxanthomonas kalamensis |
| Description: | Adjective kalamensis of Kalama Island, referring to the Hawaiian name for Johnston Atoll, where the organism was isolated.Aerobic. Yellow colonies form on heterotrophic media after 4–5 days (e.g. TSA, MA). Cells are Gram-negative, single,straight rods 1.0–1.25 μm in length and 0.5 μm in width.Non-motile.Mesophilic,with an optimum temperature range of 30–37°C. |
