description
Vegetative cells are Gram-negative bacilli tapering slightly at the ends, measuring 0.6 – 0.7 m m 3.0 – 8.0 m m in electron micrographs. Colonies exhibit swarming motility and appear pale brown on VY- 2 agar (w / v 0.5 % dried baker’s yeast, 0.1 % CaCl 2 2 H 2 O, and 1.5 % agar). Fruiting bodies are irregular spheroids, orange in color. Aerobic growth was observed at 30 – 40 C, at pH 5.0 – 9.0, and with the addition of 1 – 4 % NaCl. Hydrolyzes arginine, esculin, gelatin, p - nitrophenyl- B - D-galactopyranoside, and urea. Assimilates N - acetyl-glucosamine, adipate, arabinose, caprate, citrate, gluconate, glucose, malate, maltose, mannitol, mannose, and phenyl acetate. Cells prey with low efficiency upon E. coli TOP 10, Cl. nebraskensis DSM 7483, and U. maydis DSM 14603. DNA GC content is 68.9 mol %. The draft genome sequence of AB 053 B T is available from GenBank (accession JAAIXY 01). The type strain (AB 053 B T ¼ NCCB 100767 T ¼ T NBRC 114350) was isolated from soil collected from Aberystwyth University, UK (gridref 52.41 N 4.08 W).
etymology
Myxococcus eversor (e. ver’sor L. masc. n. eversor the destroyer, reflecting its destruction of prey cells).
