THALASSOLITUUS OLEIVORANS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thalassolituus |
| Species: | Thalassolituus oleivorans |
| Description: | Polymorphic bacteria that are motile by means of one to four polar flagella. Genome size is about 2.2 Mbp. Marine; requires at least 25 % sea water salinity for growth. Na+ ions are required; growth occurs at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–5.7 % (w/v), with optimum growth at 2.3 % NaCl. Growth occurs at 4–30°C, with optimum growth at 20–25°C. pH range for growth is 7.5–9.0, with optimum growth at pH 8.0. |
