Brumimicrobium Bowman et al. 2003
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are slightly curved or straight rods with rounded ends. Do not form microcysts or gas vesicles. Do not form circular, coiled or helical cells. Motile by gliding. Cell mass is pigmented intensely orange. Cold-adapted, marine, facultatively anaerobic, fermentative chemoheterotrophs that require Na+ ions, yeast extract and vitamins for growth. Fatty acids consist mostly of branched-chain components including iso-C13:0, anteiso-C15:1 ω10c and iso-C15:0.
1: Cells are slightly curved or straight rods with rounded ends. Do not form microcysts or gas vesicles. Do not form circular, coiled or helical cells. Cell mass is pigmented intensely orange. Motile by gliding or non-motile. Cold-adapted or mesophilic, facultatively anaerobic and fermentative marine chemoheterotrophs that require Na+ ions for growth. Some strains additionally require yeast extract and vitamins for growth. Contain phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid (PL1), an unidentified aminophospholipid (APL1) and an unidentified lipid (L3) as common predominant polar lipids. Fatty acids consist mostly of branched-chain or hydroxyl components, including iso-C15:1 G, iso-C15:0 and C17:0 3-OH. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content is 34.3-40 mol%.
