General information
Description and emendation
Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic and denitrifying. Cells are motile, short rods, 1.3-2.0 μm long and 0.2-0.8 μm wide. Good growth occurs after 24 h incubation on nutrient agar at 25-30°C. The polar lipid profile contains the major compound phosphatidylethanolamine, moderate amounts of phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol and minor amounts of two unknown aminolipids and an unknown polar lipid. The polyamines consist predominantly of putrescine with moderate amounts of 2-hydroxyputrescine; the main component of the quinone system is ubiquinone Q-8. The major fatty acids are C16:0, C16:1 ω7c, C17:0 cyclo, C18:1 ω7c and/or C14:0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content of the type species, Castellaniella defragrans, is 66.9 mol%. As currently circumscribed, the genus contains two species, Castellaniella defragrans and Castellaniella denitrificans.
