Planomicrobium chinense is a type of bacteria . The species is one of the firmicutes .

features

Appearance

The colonies of Planomicrobium chinense are colored yellow-orange. The cells are coccoid or short rods. Spores are not formed. The size is between 0.8 and 1.0 μm. The species is motile by polar flagella . The Gram stain is positive.

Growth and metabolism

Planomicrobium chinense is chemoorganotroph . Growth appears at temperatures between 12 and 43 ° C and at sodium chloride values ​​of 0 to 10%. The optimal growth temperatures are around 30–35 ° C. It hydrolyzes gelatin , aesculin cleavage and hydrolysis of casein , starch or polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) does not take place. The oxidase test is negative, the test for catalase is positive. Nitrate is reduced.

Chemotaxonomic Features

The Gram stain is positive. The GC content in the DNA is 34.8 mol percent. The predominant menaquinones are MK-8 and MK-7.

Systematics

Planomicrobium chinese belongs to the Planococcaceae family . It was first described in 2005.

etymology

The generic name is made up of the Greek words planos ("wanderer") and micros ("small") and refers to the size (it is either cocci or short rods) and the property of the motility of these bacteria. The species name P. chinense , taken from Latin, indicates the place where it was found, the East China Sea.

The species name comes from the Latin adjective "chinense" (Chinese) and refers to the place where the species was discovered and examined: The bacterium was found in coastal sediments of the East China Sea .
