PSYCHROMONAS PROFUNDA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Psychromonas |
| Species: | Psychromonas profunda |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative rods, either isolated or in pairs,0.9–1.2μm wide and 2.0–5.5μm long, motile by means of a single, unsheathed and polar flagellum. On peptone/yeast extract/sea-water agar, colonies are smooth, colourless, translucent, irregular, punctiform and flat with an intact margin. Moderately halophilic (no growth observed in the absence of NaCl, normal growth with half-strength sea-water), strictly psychrophilic and moderately piezophilic |
