THIOTHRIX DEFLUVII
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thiothrix |
| Species: | Thiothrix defluvii |
| Description: | Cells are rods, which exist in multicellular filaments. Base-to-tip differentiation of filaments is observed with basal cells being 2-0-4-0 μm in diameter and 0-5-2.0 μmin length and cells at the tips of filaments being 1.0-2-0 μm in diameter and 5-0-10 μm long. Cell shape can be irregular. Cells can be cylindrical or barrel-shaped and elongate swollen cells are often present. Gram-negative. A sheath is absent. Rosettes, a hold- fast and gliding gonidia and knots in filaments may be formed but these are not features of all strains. |
