description
Zobellia laminariae (la. mi. na 9 ri. ae. N. L. gen. n. laminariae of Laminaria, the generic name of the brown alga Laminaria japonica, from which the bacteria were isolated). Cells range from 0 · 4 to 0 · 5 µm in width and from 1 · 2 to 1 · 4 µm in length. On marine agar, colonies are 2 – 4 mm in diameter, circular, shiny with entire edges, pigmented dark red and sunken in the agar. Growth occurs at 4 – 30 ° C, with the optimum at 21 – 23 ° C, and at salt concentrations from 1 · 5 to 6 % NaCl, with an optimum at 2 %. Decomposes agar, gelatin and Tween 40. Does not hydrolyse casein, starch, alginate, DNA, Tween 20, Tween 80, cellulose (CM-cellulose and filter paper) or chitin. Forms acid from L-arabinose, D-cellobiose, D-glucose, L-fucose, D-maltose, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, D-sucrose and mannitol, but not from D-galactose, D-lactose, D-melibiose, L-sorbose, DL-xylose, N - acetylglucosamine, citrate, adonitol, dulcitol, glycerol or inositol. Utilizes D-lactose and D-mannose, but not inositol, sorbitol, malonate or citrate. Nitrate is reduced. H 2 S, indole and acetoin (Voges – Proskauer reaction) are not produced. Susceptible to carbenicillin, lincomycin and oleandomycin, but resistant to ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, polymyxin B, streptomycin and tetracycline. The predominant fatty acids are 15: 0 (12 · 5 %), i 15: 0 (16 · 8 %), i 15: 0 3 - OH (6 · 1 %), i 15: 1 (12 · 3 %) and i 17: 0 3 - OH (22 · 4 %). The major lipoquinone is MK- 6. The G + C content of the DNA is 36 – 37 mol %.
