description
Zobellia russellii (rus 9 sel. li. i. N. L. gen. n. russellii of H. L. Russell, the American scientist, for his contribution to the development of marine microbiology). Cells range from 0 · 4 – 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 orange and sunken in the agar. Growth occurs at 4 – 38 ° C, with the optimum at 25 – 28 ° C, and at salt concentrations between 1 and 10 % NaCl, with the optimum at 2 – 3 %. Decomposes agar, gelatin, starch, alginate, DNA, Tween 20, Tween 40 and Tween 80. Does not hydrolyse casein, cellulose (CM-cellulose and filter paper) or chitin. Forms acid from L-arabinose, D-cellobiose, D-glucose, L-fucose, Dmaltose, L-rhamnose, D-sucrose, DL-xylose and mannitol, but not from D-galactose, D-lactose, D-melibiose, L-sorbose, D-raffinose, 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, oleandomycin and tetracycline, but resistant to ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, polymyxin B and streptomycin. The predominant fatty acids are 15: 0 (11 · 0 %), i 15: 0 (20 · 1 %), i 15: 0 3 - OH (5 · 9 %), i 15: 1 (14 · 9 %) and i 17: 0 3 - OH (19 · 7 %). The major lipoquinone is MK- 6. The G + C content of the DNA is 38 · 6 mol %.
