Description and Significance
Legionella Bononiesis is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that utilizes transitory flagella for locomotion. It was discovered in northern Italy where it was isolated from a hotel water distribution system. Do to the conditions required for growth it often grows in regulated man-made water systems or is found naturally in places with a more tropical climate.
Genome Structure
The size of Legionella Bononiensis' genome is between 3.3-3.5Mb with a G+C content of roughly 38%. It has one circular chromosome with roughly 3000 protein-coding genes which represents a coding capacity of 88%.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Legionella bononiesnsis has a thin sometimes filamentous membrane that has a bacillus like structure. It also is accompanied by a transitory flagellum that is used for locomotion. L. bononiesnsis derives its energy from amino acids instead of carbohydrates.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
