PSEUDOXANTHOMONAS SPADIX

Class: Gamma Proteobacteria
Genus: Pseudoxanthomonas
Species: Pseudoxanthomonas spadix
Description: Adjective spadix(date-brown) date-coloured, referring to the brown pigment produced by the organism.Cells are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, curved rods that are motile by means of a single polar flagellum.Aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. On TSA and BHI agar, colonies are smooth and yellow with entire margins. Produces a diffusible, date-brown pigment that becomes more marked in older cultures. Grows at temperatures between 22 and 37°C.
