Ochrobactrum Holmes et al. 1988
General information
Description and emendation
The cells are rod shaped with parallel sides and rounded ends and usually occur singly. Resting stages are not known. The cells are gram negative and motile by means of peritrichous flagella, These organisms are obligately aerobic, possessing a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. The optimum growth temperature is in the range from 20 to 37°C. Colonies on nutrient agar are nonpigmented. The cells are oxidase positive and catalase positive. Indole is not produced. Esculin, gelatin, and DNA are not hydrolyzed. Cells are chemoorganotrophic, using a variety of amino acids, organic acids, and carbohydrates as carbon sources. They occur in human clinical specimens. The G+C content of the DNA is 56 to 59 mol%.
