THALASSOMONAS AGARIPERFORANS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thalassomonas |
| Species: | Thalassomonas agariperforans |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-staining-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped, 0.5–0.8 µm in diameter and 1.5–3.0 µm in length. Motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Colonies on MA are circular, yellowish-white, opaque and sunken into the agar. Anaerobic growth occurs on MA and on MA supplemented with nitrate. Optimal growth temperature is 30 °C; growth occurs at 4 and 37 °C, but not at 40 °C. Optimal pH for growth is between 7.0 and 8.0; growth occurs at pH 5.5, but not at pH 5.0. Growth occurs in the presence of 0–6.0 % (w/v) NaCl with an optimum in the presence of approximately 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. |
