THIOTHRIX CALDIFONTIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thiothrix |
| Species: | Thiothrix caldifontis |
| Description: | Rod-shaped cells with rounded ends, seriate in multi-cellular filaments (trichomes) with polysaccharide sheaths.Gram-negative and aerobic. Cells of the major form are 0.9–2.2μm in diameter and 3.2–6.5μm long. Filaments are non-motile. Gliding gonidia are produced from the apical ends of the filaments. Gonidia can form rosettes.Colonies are white with fibrous edges, 1–5 mm in diameter. The temperature range for growth is 7–37°C,with optimum growth at 25°C. |
