Paenalcaligenes Kämpfer et al. 2010
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are Gram-stain-negative, motile, short rods, 1.3-2.0 μm long and 0.2-0.8 μm wide. Oxidase-positive, showing an aerobic respiratory metabolism. Good growth occurs after 24 h incubation on nutrient agar at 25-30°C. The polyamine pattern is composed of the major compound putrescine and moderate amounts of spermidine. Minor amounts of spermine and cadaverine may be present, but 2-hydroxyputrescine is not detectable. The quinone system is ubiquinone Q-8 with minor amounts of Q-7. The polar lipid contains diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and the specific unidentified phospholipid PL. The major fatty acids are C16:0, C17:0 cyclo and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C15:0 iso 2-OH); C12:0 2-OH is not detected. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 57 mol%.
1: The betaproteobacterial-specific polyamine 2-hydroxyputrescine can only be detected in trace amounts [<0.1 µmol (g dry weight) -1]. The polar lipids contain DPG, PG, PE, AL and several unknown polar lipids. Grows weakly in an atmosphere consisting of 90% N2, 5% H2 and 5% CO2.
