| Summary: | Bru'mi.mi.cro'bi.um. L. fem. n. bruma winter; N.L. neut. n. microbium microbe; N.L. neut. n. Brumimicrobium winter microbe. Bacteroidetes / Flavobacteriia / Flavobacteriales / Cryomorphaceae / Brumimicrobium Cells are slender, flexible rods with rounded ends , 1–3 µm×0.3–0.5 µm, occurring singly or in pairs. Gram‐stain‐negative . Spores, resting cells, and gas vesicles are not present. Gliding motility is present. Colonies are orange. Flexirubin pigments are not produced. Facultatively anaerobic. Possesses an oxidative metabolism under aerobic conditions. Under anaerobic growth conditions the metabolism shifts to the fermentation of sugars . Catalase‐positive. Oxidase‐negative. Chemoheterotrophic. Non‐agarolytic. Utilizes D ‐glucose . Reduces nitrate to nitrite. Strains require Na + and yeast extract for growth. Peptone can serve as a nitrogen source. Psychroactive. Slightly halophilic. Major fatty acids are C 13:0 iso, C 15:0 iso, and C 15:1 anteiso ω10 c . Isolated from polar marine sediment and sea‐ice algal assemblages . DNA G + C content ( mol %): 38–40. Type species : Brumimicrobium glaciale Bowman, Nichols and Gibson 2003, 1352 VP . |
