Description and Significance
Citrobacter koseri (formerly Citrobacter diversus)is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae. It has the appearance of straight rods and occurs singly in pairs. The length of the bacillus is 1 micrometer in diameter by 2.0-6.0 micrometers in length. Citrobacter koseri is found in soil, water, and in the intestinal tracts of both humans and animals. It has a negative importance in regards to the cause of neonatal meningitis and brain abscess formation.
Genome Structure
The genome size varies between 4.0 to 5.0 Mb. The GC content of the genomes is between 51 to 56%. It is unknown in the amount of chromosomes it has. C. koseri is circular. The genome consist of 4,536 protein-coding sequences.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
