Pseudochrobactrum Kämpfer et al. 2006
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are non-motile, non-spore-forming rods (approx. 2 μm in length). Gram-negative and oxidase-positive, showing an oxidative metabolism. The quinone system consists mainly of Q-10. Polyamine patterns comprise spermidine and putrescine as major compounds and 1,3-diaminopropane and spermine in minor amounts. Predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. Additionally, moderate amounts of phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine and unknown aminolipid AL1 and small amounts of unknown phospholipid PL1 and five unknown lipids (L1-L5) are detected. Fatty acid profiles contain large amounts of C18:1 ω7c and moderate amounts of C18:0 and C19:0 cyclo ω8c. Negative for a Brucella abortus- and Brucella melitensis-specific antigen. In recA sequence analyses, most closely related to species of Brucella (80%) and Ochrobactrum (81%), followed by Bartonella (76%). Species of the genus can be differentiated from Bartonella species by a positive oxidase reaction, non-fastidious growth and utilization of several organic acids.
