Chryseobacterium gleum is a type of bacteria .

features

The cells of Chryseobacterium gleum are mostly approx. 0.5 µm wide, the length is in the range from 1 to 3 µm. Filamentous forms are also common. Endospores are not formed. The colonies have a strong yellowish color, which is due to flexirubin- like pigments. The bacteria are immobile and there is no sliding movement, which is observed in many species of the Flavobacteriaceae family . The catalase test and the oxidase test are positive. Nitrate is reduced by some strains and anaerobic growth is observed. Menaquinone -6 (MK-6) is the dominant menaquinone.

Systematics

The genus Chryseobacterium belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family , which is part of the Bacteroidetes division . The species C. gleum used to be part of the genus Flavobacterium . Chryseobacterium was founded in 1994 from six species of the genus Flavobacterium . These species clearly differ from the type species Flavobacterium aquatile . In addition to the then Flavobacterium gleum , the species F. balustinum , F. indologenes , F. indoltheticum , F. meningosepticum and F. scophthalmum were added to the new genus. Chryseobacterium gleum was chosen as the type species.
