RUMINOBACTER AMYLOPHILUS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Ruminobacter |
| Species: | Ruminobacter amylophilus |
| Description: | These are all Gram-negative bacteria.Ruminobacter are rod-shaped. They are nonmotile. Cytochromes have not been detected in these organisms.Ruminobacter are anaerobic organisms. They utilize molecules such as maltose, maltodextrins, and starch for energy. |
