PSYCHROBACTER PACIFICENSIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Psychrobacter |
| Species: | Psychrobacter pacificensis |
| Description: | Strains are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, non-pigmented, non-sporulating, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive coccobacilli 1.0-1.5μm long and about 1μm wide. Strains produce many fimbriae as appendages, but no flagella. Circular, convex, off-white colonies with a complete edge occur on agar plates containing polypeptone and yeast extract. No fluorescent pigments form. |
