RHEINHEIMERA PACIFICA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Rheinheimera |
| Species: | Rheinheimera pacifica |
| Description: | Strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, oxidase-and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, 1.8–2.0μm long and 0.6–0.8μm wide and motile with four to seven polar or bipolar and lateral flagella. Sodium ions are not required for growth. Growth is observed in 0–8 % (w/v) NaCl, but not in 10 % NaCl. Grows at 4–37°C, but not at 40–41°C. Non-pigmented, smooth, transparent and circular colonies with entire margins are formed on MA. |
