The kind is grief negative . These are thin rods in the range from 0.4 to 0.5 µm and 3 to 5 µm. The cells sometimes form thin threads with branches that are significantly shorter than the main threads. They do not form rest stages. There are no flagella, there is no movement. Good growth occurs at temperatures of 8 to 30 ° C, optimal growth at 25 to 27 ° C.
Growth and metabolism
The species is aerobic and chemo-organotrophic . Oxygen serves as an electron acceptor . Several organic substances can be used as a source of energy and for growth. These include glucose , fructose and starch . As a nitrogen source can ammonium salts , nitrates and other organic materials are used.
Occurrence
Haliscomenobacter hydrossis occurs in fresh water and wastewater. Strong occurrence in the activated sludge of the sewage treatment plants of the meat industry, in swamps it was found in rather small amounts.
