SODALIS GLOSSINIDIUS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Sodalis |
| Species: | Sodalis glossinidius |
| Description: | The cells are non motile, non spore-forming, filamentous,Gram-negative rods (2-12 pm in length, 1-1-5 ym in diameter), dividing by septation. The bacteria grow intracellularly in Aedes albopictus cell culture and can grow axenically in media containing enzymically digested proteins as nitrogen sources. They are microaerophilic and can only be cultivated on solid media with aerotolerance-enhancing supplements or under a reduced-oxygen atmosphere. |

| Source: | The type strain isolated from a laboratory colony of Glossinia morsitans morsitans. The bacterium is found in the midgut, fat body and haemolymph of G. m. morsitans. |
