Algibacter Nedashkovskaya et al. 2004
General information
Description and emendation
Rod-shaped cells, motile by gliding. Gram-negative. Do not form endospores. Facultatively anaerobic. Produce non-diffusible orange pigments. No flexirubin-type pigments are formed. Chemoorganotroph. Cytochrome oxidase, catalase, alkaline phosphatase and β-galactosidase are positive. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The main cellular fatty acids are straight-chain unsaturated and branched-chain unsaturated fatty acids i15:0, a15:0, i15:1, 15:0, 15:1 ω6c, i15:0 3-OH and i17:0 3-OH. Phosphatidylethanolamine is the main polar lipid compound.
1: Some strains can ferment D-glucose. The main cellular fatty acids are straight-chain unsaturated and branched-chain unsaturated iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:1, C15:0, iso-C15:0 3-OH, iso-C17:0 3-OH and summed feature 3, consisting of iso-C15:0 2-OH and/or C16:1 ω7c.
2: Gliding motility is species specific.
3: Cells are catalase-negative. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, one glycolipid, two phospholipids and four unidentified polar lipids.
