THALASSOMONAS AGARIVORANS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thalassomonas |
| Species: | Thalassomonas agarivorans |
| Description: | Cells during late exponential to early stationary phase of growth in broth cultures are non-motile, straight or curved rods that measure approximately 1.4–2.2 by 0.4–0.7 μm. Colonies produced on agar plates are circular, off-white, opaque, non-luminescent and agarolytic; distinct depressions are formed by these colonies in a few days and much of the agar in the plate medium is liquefied after incubation for several weeks. Growth occurs between 15 and 37 °C with optimal growth at 25 °C; no growth at 4–13 or 40 °C. Growth occurs in 1–5 % NaCl with optimal growth at 3 %; no growth at 0 or 6 % NaCl. Able to grow over a pH range of 7–9 but not at pH 6. |
